Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PS1PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000551.4(VHL):​c.345C>A​(p.His115Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in Lovd. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H115Y) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Variant summary: This c.345C>A affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in amino acid change from His to Gln. 2/3 in-silico tools predict this variant to be damaging. The residue p.His115 is reported to be critical for interaction with HIF, thus this missense change is unlikely to be tolerated. By a structural/functional assay, interaction energy of residue was ~1.5 kcal/mol weaker than that with histidine in the wild type (Domene_2012), thus proving that the variant leads to functional impairment. This variant was not found in approximately 121600 control chromosomes, including the broad and large populations from ExAC. In literature, the p.His115Gln has been reported as a pathogenic variant found in >6 independent VHL patients/families, including somatic occurrences. At least one database calls this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant has been classified as a Pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 115 of the VHL protein (p.His115Gln). 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: 7728151, 9681856, 9829912, 19949673, 29749453). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496057). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt VHL protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects VHL function (PMID: 28775317). This variant disrupts the p.His115 amino acid residue in VHL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8707293, 22357542). 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. -
