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 c.463+4C>G intronic variant results from a C to G substitution 4 nucleotides after coding exon 2 in the VHL gene. This alteration was detected in a family with history of hemangioblastoma and pheochromocytoma with reduced penetrance (Sexton A et al. J Genet Couns, 2015 Dec;24:882-9). In a functional RNA study, this alteration was seen with increased in-frame skipping of exon 2 relative to normal controls in an agarose gel (Sexton A et al. J Genet Couns, 2015 Dec;24:882-9). This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis for this alteration is inconclusive, and direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
