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]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 81 of the VHL protein (p.Pro81Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytoma(s) (PMID: 16103922). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1314230). 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 expected to disrupt VHL protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

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

The p.P81Q variant (also known as c.242C>A), located in coding exon 1 of the VHL gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 242. The proline at codon 81 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been observed in individuals diagnosed with pheochromocytomas (Dahia PL et al. PLoS Genet, 2005 Jul;1:72-80). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
