Description
The L184P variant has been published previously in association von Hippel-Lindau disease without pheochromocytoma(Zbar et al., 1996). It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African Americanancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in thesepopulations. L184P is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary proteinstructure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conservedacross species and in-silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the proteinstructure/function. In addition, missense variants at the same codon (L184R/H) and in nearby residues(S183L, D179N, I180V, E186K, L188V/P/R/E) have also been reported in the Human Gene MutationDatabase in association with VHL-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functionalimportance of this region of the protein. Therefore, we consider the L184P variant to be pathogenic.
