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]

The VHL c.477delA; p.Glu160fs variant (rs730882020), also reported as 688delA, is reported in the literature in a family affected with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (Stolle 1998) and in a renal cell carcinoma sample (Taylor 2012). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism, and it is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 182959). This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Stolle C et al.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu160Serfs*10) in the VHL gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 54 amino acid(s) of the VHL protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (PMID: 982991). This variant is also known as c.688delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182959). This variant disrupts a region of the VHL protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr175*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9829912, 12202531, 15300849; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

The c.477delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the VHL gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 477, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E160Sfs*10). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theVHL gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 25.2% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
