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]

Variant summary: VHL c.449A>G (p.Asn150Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the von Hippel-Lindau disease tumour suppressor, beta/alpha domain (IPR022772) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251494 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.449A>G also known as c.662A>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with polycythemia (Sidhu_2015) . These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 150 of the VHL protein (p.Asn150Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs760184234, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with polycythemia (PMID: 25586603). This variant is also known as c.662A>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371992). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt VHL protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -

The p.N150S variant (also known as c.449A>G), located in coding exon 2 of the VHL gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 449. The asparagine at codon 150 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been detected in conjunction with a VHL pathogenic variant in an individual with polycythemia (Sidhu A et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer, 2015 Jun;62:1113-4). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
