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]

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with VHL-related disease.  ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411977). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects codon 154 of the VHL mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the VHL protein. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. A different variant (c.462A>C) affecting this nucleotide with the same silent change has been reported to segregate with disease in families affected with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (PMID: 9829912, 17006605), and experimental studies suggest that this nucleotide may be crucial for normal mRNA splicing (PMID: 17006605). -
