Description
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the VHL protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ser183*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7563486, 7987306, 8707293, 8772572, 10567493, 11309459, 11331612, 16452184, 18567581, 23772956; 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 625259). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VHL-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change results in a frameshift in the VHL gene (p.Leu178Argfs*77). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 36 amino acid(s) of the VHL protein and extend the protein by 40 additional amino acid residues.
