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]

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The VHL p.N7K variant was identified in 1 of 12 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0833) from individuals with von Hippel-Lindau disease and was not identified in 12 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Peri_2017_ PMID: 27682873). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs1060503561) and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics and Invitae). The variant was identified in control databases in 1 of 137860 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000007254 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1, non-cancer). The variant was observed in the European (non-Finnish) population in 1 of 49770 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002), but was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), Other, or South Asian populations. The p.N7 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Identified in an individual with clinical features of VHL who had a second pathogenic VHL variant, but phase could not be determined (Peri et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27682873) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 7 of the VHL protein (p.Asn7Lys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VHL-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411973). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt VHL protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
