Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 5P and 4B. BS1PM1PP3PS4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The variant NM_000551.4(VHL):c.376G>A (p.Asp126Asn) is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of Aspartic acid by Asparagine at position 126. The GroupMax Filtering Allele Frequency (95% CI) in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.00003260 (50/1111878 from European, Non-Finnish Population). This is higher than the ClinGen VHL VCEP threshold of >=0.0000156 (0.00156%) threshold expected for VHL disease (BS1). However, this variant fulfills several pathogenic evidence codes as follows. This variant has been reported in 1 proband in literature, a 53yo male with right jugulotympanic paraganglioma (nonspecific = 0.25 points) (PMID:22566194). This variant has been seen 12 times in testing at Invitae with 3 cases bearing VHL tumors, 3 times at GeneDX with no cases presenting VHL tumors, and 19 times at Ambry with 2 cases including VHL tumors. For the observed cases without VHL spectrum tumors, they either had no personal history of cancer or non-VHL cancers. None were >65yo and lacked VHL-spectrum tumors. In total, the case points calculated are 2.5 points which sums to PS4_Moderate. One HIF-a degradation assay using this variant showed modest / intermediate inability to degrade HIF-a (PMIDs:21454469), but does not meet the criteria for PS3_Supporting. This variant resides within a region of VHL that is defined as a critical functional domain (the Beta Domain) (PM1). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.716, which is above the threshold of >0.664, evidence that correlates with impact to VHL function (PP3). In summary, due to the prevalence of this variant in the gnomAD and numerous cases lacking VHL tumors (though not above the threshold of 65yrs to fulfill the benign criteria) as well as weak/intermediate functional evidence, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Uncertain for autosomal-dominant von Hippel Lindau syndrome (VHL syndrome) based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen VHL VCEP Version 1.0 (Specifications approval date: 02/26/2024. Variant Approval Date 06/25/2024). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA020313/MONDO:0008667/078

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]
