Description
Variant summary: VWF c.3797C>T (p.Pro1266Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the VWA N-terminal domain (IPR032361) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0008 in 249794 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The variant c.3797C>T (legacy name: P503L) has been reported in the literature in several heterozygous individuals affected with Von Willebrand Disease (e.g. Holmberg_1993, Federici_2009, Veyradier_2016, Szederjesi_2020); in general these patients had an increased bleeding tendency, but their symptoms (when present) were considered mild. Several studies noted that the Pro1266Leu variant frequently results from a gene conversion event with a VWF pseudogene (VWFP1) and occurs together with other pseudogene derived variants. Publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, including protein stability, binding kinetics, platelet reactivity, and demonstrated altered function for the variant protein (or protein domain) carrying the Pro1266Leu variant in isolation (e.g. Holmberg_1993, Legan_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 8486782, 18805962, 32573891, 26986123, 36580664). 14 submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple submitters reported the variant with conflicting assessments. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
