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]

ACMG classification

Specifications for VHL are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.19158879 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 10, offset of 40, new splice context is: gtgGTaagt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV005961486: RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data).
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-10146637-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-10146637-G-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 223217.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
