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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-10146549-GA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-10146549-GA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 456565.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the VHL gene (p.Asp126Valfs*33). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 88 amino acids of the VHL protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with VHL-related disease. This truncation disrupts a significant portion of the VHL elongin C binding domain (PMID: 14987375), which is required for protein stability and tumor suppressive activity (PMID: 10900011). Different truncations downstream of this variant (p.Asn141Lysfs*3, p.161Arg*, deletion of exon 3) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19270817, 10567493, 7987306, 12114495, 25867206, 15300849, 9829911, 9829912, 9452032, 8956040, 21362373, 18446368, 24301059, Invitae). This suggests that deletion of this region of the VHL protein is causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
