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]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:reviewed by expert panel
Collection Method:curation

The NM_000552.5(VWF):c.4975C>T variant in VWF is a nonsense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by a premature stop at codon 1659. This nonsense variant occurs in exon 28 of 52 of the only known transcript and is predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated decay. Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in forms of VWD that are partially (Type 1) or completely (Type 3) deficient in the gene product (PVS1). The Grpmax filtering allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 is 0.000006890 (based on 14/1179672 alleles in the European non-Finnish population), which is lower than the ClinGen VWD VCEP threshold of <0.0001 for (PM2_Supporting). A higher frequency is seen in the European Finnish population, and at least 3 Finnish patients with this variant (2 heterozygous and 1 homozygous) displayed phenotypes consistent with VWD, including pronounced bleeding tendency, low vWF levels, and low Factor VIII levels (PMID: 1415226). The variant co-segregates with VWD through at least 2 affected meioses in each of 2 families (PP1; PMID: 1415226). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for hereditary von Willebrand disease. ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ClinGen von Willebrand disease Variant Curation Expert Panel: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PP1. -

Variant summary: VWF c.4975C>T (p.Arg1659X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.6e-05 in 250392 control chromosomes. This frequency does not allow conclusions about variant significance. c.4975C>T has been reported in the literature as a homozygous or compound heterozygous genotype in multiple individuals affected with Von Willebrand Disease type 3 (example, Mohl_2011, Lapi_2022, Zhang_1992, Ahmad_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The VWF c.4975C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg1659*). This variant has been well documented to be pathogenic for autosomal recessive Von Willebrand disease 3 (Ahmad et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24712919; Borràs et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28971901. Table S4; Gupta et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18485763). This variant is reported in 0.040% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in VWF are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
