Description
This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 117 of the VHL protein (p.Trp117Arg). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (PMID: 30477447). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Trp117 amino acid residue in VHL. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18685280, 24581539, 28388566, 30477447; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt VHL protein function.
