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

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. This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 161 of the VHL protein (p.Arg161Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (PMID: 8707293, 10567493, 19464396, 23512077). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 618484). This variant disrupts the p.Arg161 amino acid residue in VHL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12000816, 14767570, 20120764, 23842656, 25371412). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R161G pathogenic mutation (also known as c.481C>G), located in coding exon 3 of the VHL gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 481. The arginine at codon 161 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This mutation has been identified in multiple individuals and families with histories consistent with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (Glavac D et al. Hum. Genet., 1996 Sep;98:271-80; Gläsker S et al. J. Neurol. Neurosurg. Psychiatry, 1999 Dec;67:758-62; Murgia A et al. Hum. Mutat., 2000 Jan;15:114; Ciotti P et al. Eur J Med Genet 2009 May;52:311-4; Kim HJ et al. Laryngoscope, 2013 Feb;123:477-83; Fishbein L et al. Ann. Surg. Oncol., 2013 May;20:1444-50; Krauss T et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer, 2018 09;25:783-793). One study predicted this alteration to be pathogenic using a Bayesian model that incorporates phylogenetic, biochemical, and structural features (Cai Z et al. Hum. Mutat., 2004 Aug;24:178-84). In another study, in vitro experiments suggest that mutations affecting residue 161, such as p.R161G, negatively impact elongin-binding activity (Ohh M et al. J. Clin. Invest., 1999 Dec;104:1583-91). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 694C>G in the published literature. 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. -
