Genes affected
VWF (HGNC:12726): (von Willebrand factor) This gene encodes a glycoprotein involved in hemostasis. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed following assembly into large multimeric complexes. These complexes function in the adhesion of platelets to sites of vascular injury and the transport of various proteins in the blood. Mutations in this gene result in von Willebrand disease, an inherited bleeding disorder. An unprocessed pseudogene has been found on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

The VWF c.1625C>G (p.Ala542Gly) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with Type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD) or low VWF protein levels who also carried a deleterious variant in the VWF gene (PMID: 33556167 (2021)). An individual with Type 3 VWD was found to carry both this variant and a canonical splice site variant in the homozygous state (PMID: 20801902 (2010), 28971901 (2017)). This variant has been reported in additional individuals with Type 1, Type 1H, and Type 2A VWD (PMIDs: 26986123 (2016), 27532107 (2016), 28971901 (2017)), as well as in individuals with a bleeding/thrombotic disorder (PMID: 31064749 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0015 (4/2642 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.1.1, this variant is classified as 3B-VUS. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease for this gene. (N) 0104 - Dominant Negative is a mechanism of disease for this gene. (N) 0108 - This gene is known to be associated with both recessive and dominant disease (OMIM). (N) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from alanine to glycine (exon 14). (N) 0251 - Variant is heterozygous. (N) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (p.(Ala542Thr): 1 heterozygote, 0 homozyotes). (N) 0310 - Variant is present in gnomAD >=0.001 and <0.01 for a dominant condition (194 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (N) 0503 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be tolerated or not conserved in mammals with a minor amino acid change. (B) 0600 - Variant is located in an annotated domain or motif (VWFD 2 motif; PDB). (N) 0705 - No comparable variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (N) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity are conflicting. This variant has been reported in multiple patients with type 1, 2A or 3 von Willebrand disease (PMIDs: 26986123, 28971901), however most of them also had another pathogenic VWF variant (PMIDs: 28971901, 27532107, 21251206). It is also reported in ClinVar with conflicting interpretation of pathogenicity. (N) 0905 - No segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (N) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (N) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available. (N) Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign -

Variant summary: VWF c.1625C>G (p.Ala542Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the von Willebrand factor, type D domain (IPR001846) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00072 in 250426 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in VWF causing Von Willebrand Disease, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1625C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Von Willebrand Disease (Corrales_2010, Casonato_2016, Veyradier_2016, Sadler_2021, Borras_2017). One patient was reported as putatively compound heterozygous with a pathogenic variant, although other patients were found to have a likely pathogenic variant in cis or without the phase indicated. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20801902, 27532107, 26986123, 33556167, 28971901, 21251206, 31064749). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 381621). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The VWF c.1625C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala542Gly. This variant has been reported in patients with von Willebrand disease, but has always been reported in a cis configuration with a splice site variant c.533-2A>G making it unclear whether the missense variant p.Ala542Gly is actually a cause of disease (see Corrales et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20801902; http://www.hemobase.com/vwf/VWF_Database/Mutations/Mutations.html). This variant has also been reported in studies of VWD patients, but it is unclear whether it is a cause of disease within the studied cohort (Veyradier et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26986123; Table S2 - Sadler et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33556167). Additionally, the c.1625C>G (p.Ala542Gly) variant was observed in a cohort of individuals with bleeding, thrombotic and platelet disorders, and reported as likely pathogenic (TGP0672, Supplementary Table 3, Downes et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31064749). This variant is reported in 0.14% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-6167119-G-C). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
