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 histidine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 191 of the VHL protein (p.His191Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs370050374, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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: 182984). 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%. This variant disrupts the p.His191 amino acid residue in VHL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12844285, 23403324). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is denoted VHL c.572A>C at the cDNA level, p.His191Pro (H191P) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Histidine to a Proline (CAC>CCC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. VHL His191Pro was not observed at a significant allele frequency in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. Since Histidine and Proline differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. VHL His191Pro occurs at a position that is well conserved in mammals and is located in the alpha domain (Yuen 2009). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether VHL His191Pro is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

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

The p.H191P variant (also known as c.572A>C), located in coding exon 3 of the VHL gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 572. The histidine at codon 191 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was determined to be functionally neutral in one saturation genome editing assay (Buckley M et al. Nat Genet, 2024 Jul;56:1446-1455). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
