Invitae RCV000685144 SCV000812617 pathogenic Chuvash polycythemia; Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome 2018-01-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change failed to transactivate p53 upon DNA damage, due to impaired Chk2-mediated phosphorylation in vitro (PMID: 22071692). This variant has been reported in individuals with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (PMID: 12202531) and in individuals affected with unilateral pheochromocytoma (PMID: 12807974). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces serine with cysteine at codon 111 of the VHL protein (p.Ser111Cys). The serine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between serine and cysteine. A different variant (c.543–544CA>TT) giving rise to the same protein effect observed here (p.Ser111Cys) has been reported in an individual affected with pheochromocytoma (PMID: 9829911). In addition, two different missense substitution at this codon (p.Ser111Arg and p.Ser111Asn) have been reported in individuals affected with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (PMID: 25562111, 27527340, 14722919, 10761708, 7728151, 25867206). This suggests that the serine residue is critical for VHL protein function.
