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

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

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 14 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 3 benign, 33 uncertain in NM_000551.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-10146618-G-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 127829.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.983
• PP5: Variant 3-10146618-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-10146618-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 223214.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change replaces alanine with proline at codon 149 of the VHL protein (p.Ala149Pro). The alanine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and proline. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of von-Hippel Lindau syndrome (Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 223214). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt VHL protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Ala149 amino acid residue in VHL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9435426, 23673869, Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
