Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PS2_Supporting PP4_Moderate PP3 PP1 PM2_Supporting PS3 PS4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000552.4(VWF):c.3922C>T (p.Arg1308Cys) missense variant is predicted to cause substitution of arginine by cysteine at amino acid 1308. This variant has been reported in at least 30 probands, of which at least 19 reported sufficient phenotypic information to confirm type 2B VWD. (PS4; PMIDs: 18805962, 22077376, 1419803, 2010538, 16246252). Patient 9 of PMID:2010538, has sufficient information to meet PP4_moerate: lacked HMWM in plasma and had a moderately heightened RIPA (0.6–0.7), as well as low VWF:RCo/VWF:Ag ratio (<0.45), with Platelet-type VWD excluded by mixing experiments to confirm that the defect was in the patient plasma and not in the patient platelets. The variant has been reported to segregate with VWD type 2B through at least 2 affected meioses from 1 family (PP1; PMID:2010538). This variant has been identified as a de novo occurrence with unconfirmed parental relationships in 1 individual with VWD type 2B (PPS2_supporting; PMID:2010538). This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (PM2_Supporting). GP1bα binding assay in COS-7 cells expressing recombinant VWF, variant alone or together with WT, showed increased binding at low doses of ristocetin, indicating that this variant has a gain of function effect on the protein (PMID:16246252) (PS3). Similar results have been reported in multiple studies (PMIDs: 26345337, 8630394). The computational predictor REVEL gives a score of 0.673, which is above the ClinGen VWD VCEP threshold of >0.644 and predicts a damaging effect on VWF function (PP3). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal dominant VWD type 2B based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen VWD VCEP: PS3_supporting, PS4_VeryStrong, PM2_supporting, PS2_supporting, PP1, PP3, PP4_moderate.

Genes affected

VWF (HGNC:12726): (von Willebrand factor) This gene encodes a glycoprotein involved in hemostasis. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed following assembly into large multimeric complexes. These complexes function in the adhesion of platelets to sites of vascular injury and the transport of various proteins in the blood. Mutations in this gene result in von Willebrand disease, an inherited bleeding disorder. An unprocessed pseudogene has been found on chromosome 22. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Feb 26, 2024	Published functional studies demonstrate significantly increased GPIb binding in both homozygous and heterozygous states and moderately increased collagen binding (PMID: 23179108); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22077376, 1672694, 26345337, 31064749, 30924991, 30817071, 33556167, 35452508, 32573891, 31939074, 27766062, 23179108, 2010538, 36226571) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Feb 21, 2023	The VWF c.3922C>T; p.Arg1308Cys variant (rs61749387), also known as R545C, is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with von Willebrand disease type 2B (Ahmad 2013, Baronciani 2005, Freitas 2019, Randi 1991, Ranger 2012). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 289), and is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The arginine at codon 1308 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.673). Additionally, other amino acid substitutions at this codon (Leu, Pro, Ser, His) have been reported in individuals with von Willebrand disease type 2B (Baronciani 2005, Hatta 2015, Meyer 1997, Nurden 2006). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Ahmad F et al. Characterisation of mutations and molecular studies of type 2 von Willebrand disease.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Aug 26, 2021	The variant has been reported in multiple individuals with type 2B von Willebrand disease in the published literature (PMIDs: 31939074 (2020), 30817071 (2019), 1419803 (1992), and 2010538 (1991)). It has been shown to result in enhanced sensitivity to ADAMT13-mediated proteolysis (PMID: 26345337 (2015)), increased affinity for GpIbα, increased absence of high molecular weight multimers (PMIDs: 2010538 (1991), 16246252 (2005)), 23179108 (2013), 17155947 (2007)), and a reduced binding to collagen type I and III (PMID: 16246252 (2005)). Therefore, the variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Von Willebrand disease type 2B Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Versiti Diagnostic Laboratories, Versiti, Inc	Jul 09, 2019	The missense variant VWF c.3922C>T, p.Arg1308Cys (p.R1308C; legacy p.R545C) in exon 28 changes amino acid arginine at codon 1308 to cysteine. The arginine at this residue is not well conserved among species. This amino acid change occurs in the A1 domain, a functional domain that binds GPIb (Springer, 2014). Pathogenic variants in VWF are associated with autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive von Willebrand disease (VWD), characterized by quantitative or qualitative deficiencies in von Willebrand factor and resulting in prolonged bleeding. This sequence variant has been previously reported in patients with type 2B von Willebrand disease (Randi, 1991; Ranger, 2012; Ahmad,2013; Frietas, 2019) and has been observed in multiple patients with type 2B von Willebrand disease in our laboratory cohort. Functional studies of the variant in mammalian cells show an increased affinity for GPIb or enhanced responsiveness with ristoceitin and preferential cleavage of high molecular weight multimers under fluid stress and natured conditions (Ahmad, 2013; Ma, 2015). To date, this variant has not been reported in the general population (gnomAD, Exome Variant Server). In summary, the collective evidence supports VWF c.3922C>T, p.Arg1308Cys as a dominant pathogenic variant for von Willebrand disease type 2B. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 27, 2023	Variant summary: VWF c.3922C>T (p.Arg1308Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the von Willebrand factor, type A (IPR002035) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251060 control chromosomes. c.3922C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Von Willebrand Disease (Ahmad_2013, Casonato_2017, Ranger_2012). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function shows loss of high molecular weight multimers, increased affinity for GPIb and increased stability (Ahmad_2013, Ma_2015). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23179108, 28640903, 26345337, 22077376). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
