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 is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 156 of the VHL protein (p.Tyr156Cys). This missense change has been observed in individuals with pheochromocytoma and/or paraganglioma, likely representing von Hippel-Lindau syndrome type 2C (PMID: 12000816, 16314641, 19029228, 19336503, 20151405; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43600). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt VHL protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on VHL function (PMID: 19763184). This variant disrupts the p.Tyr156 amino acid residue in VHL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with VHL-related conditions (PMID: 12000816, 19763184), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrate increase in lactate dehydrogenase activity and absence of expression of p53 and TIGAR (PMID: 19763184); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23707781, 19958924, 22517557, 20151405, 19576851, 8634692, 19336503, 12000816, 14500403, 19574279, 16314641, 15300849, 18836774, 12807974, 19029228, 24132471, 25825477, 20818339, 30787465, 36715412, 34937752, 29748190, 37529773, 9829912, 19763184, 20660572, 12202531) -

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

The p.Y156C pathogenic mutatio (also known as c.467A>G), located in coding exon 3 of the VHL gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 467. The tyrosine at codon 156 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in numerous von Hippel Lindau (VHL) cohorts, predominantly in individuals believed to have VHL type 2C, characterized by familial pheochromocytoma in the absence of other VHL-associated lesions (Amar L et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2005 Dec; 23(34):8812-8; Olschwang S et al. Hum. Mutat. 1998; 12(6):424-30; Neumann HP et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2002 May; 346(19):1459-66; Gergics P et al. Eur. J. Endocrinol. 2009 Sep; 161(3):495-502; Erlic Z et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer. 2010 Dec; 17(4):875-83; Gallou C et al. Hum. Mutat. 2004 Sep; 24(3):215-24; Boedeker CC et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2009 Jun; 94(6):1938-44; Kruizinga RC et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer. 2014 Feb;21:63-71). However, at least one reported proband also had a retinal hemangioblastoma (Dollfus H et al. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2002 Sep; 43(9):3067-74), another had a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (Erlic Z et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer. 2010 Dec; 17(4):875-83), and another also had a renal cyst (Kruizinga RC et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer. 2014 Feb;21:63-71). Based on internal structural analysis, Y156C is deleterious and is mildly destabilizing to the local structure (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
