Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PVS1PM2_SupportingPS4_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The variant NM_000551.3(VHL):c.341-2A>G is a canonical splice site within the 1st intron of the VHL gene, and is predicted to undergo nonsense mediated decay (PVS1). This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1.0 (PM2_Supporting). This variant has been reported in at least 3 studies, in cases or families with VHL syndrome or VHL-related cancers. PMIDs: 17661816, 17024664, 27539324, CIViC EIDs (https://civicdb.org): 5748, 5730. Two commercial laboratories report 1 case each, both with a history of VHL-related cancers. One had an additional clinical diagnosis of VHL and a first degree relative with multiple VHL-related cancers in age 30-40yrs who was also VHL positive (PS4_Moderate). Although PP3 was not applied due to use of PVS1, we include the note that multiple splice predictors were used to evaluate the splice site. VarSeak supports the impact of disrupting this canonical splice site (Class 5) and the Splice AI score is 0.93, indicating impact on splicing. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal-dominant von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL disease) based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen VHL VCEP Version 1.0 (Specifications approval date: 02/26/2024. Variant Approval Date 06/25/2024). LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA357004/MONDO:0008667/078

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]
