Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PVS1_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The variant NM_000551.4(VHL):c.634G>T (p.Gly212Ter) is a nonsense variant that may cause loss of function of the protein, however it is predicted to escape nonsense mediated decay and remove <10% of the protein. It is within 2 amino acids from the last in VHL, and AA 205-213 have unknown or uncertain function in the protein (PVS1_Moderate). The GroupMax Filtering Allele Frequency (95% CI) in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00001063 (3/74922 from African/African American Population). This is lower than the ClinGen VHL VCEP threshold expected for VHL disease, of >=0.0000156 (0.00156%) for BS1, and therefore does not meet any criterion (BS1, BA1, PM2_Supporting are not met). A total of 12 cases are reported from 3 commercial laboratories, and none of the cases harbor VHL spectrum tumors (PS4_NotMet). There are no additional cases reported in published literature. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Uncertain for autosomal-dominant von Hippel Lindau syndrome (VHL syndrome) based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen VHL VCEP Version 1.0 (Specifications approval date: 02/26/2024. Variant Approval Date 06/25/2024). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA351756706/MONDO:0008667/078

Genes affected

VHL (HGNC:12687): (von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor) This gene encodes a component of a ubiquitination complex. The encoded protein is involved in the ubiquitination and degradation of hypoxia-inducible-factor (HIF), which is a transcription factor that plays a central role in the regulation of gene expression by oxygen. In addition to oxygen-related gene expression, this protein plays a role in many other cellular processes including cilia formation, cytokine signaling, regulation of senescence, and formation of the extracellular matrix. Variants of this gene are associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, pheochromocytoma, erythrocytosis, renal cell carcinoma, and cerebellar hemangioblastoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2022]

The variant NM_000551.4(VHL):c.634G>T (p.Gly212Ter) is a nonsense variant that may cause loss of function of the protein, however it is predicted to escape nonsense mediated decay and remove <10% of the protein.

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 3 of the VHL gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated decay and is predicted to delete the last two amino acids in the VHL protein. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of VHL function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly212*) in the VHL gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 2 amino acid(s) of the VHL protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VHL-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 440404). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
