VHL (P40337) variants and mutations

VHL (also known as P40337) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a von Hippel-Lindau disease tumor suppressor protein. It targets hydroxylated HIF-alpha proteins for ubiquitin-mediated degradation when oxygen is sufficient, keeping hypoxia-response programs suppressed. Loss of function stabilizes HIF signaling and causes von Hippel-Lindau tumor-predisposition syndrome while also driving most clear-cell renal carcinomas. This analysis covers 1,319 VHL variants and mutations. Of these, 67% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes von Hippel-Lindau disease, Chuvash polycythemia, and pheochromocytoma. Example VHL variants include M1?, M1I, and M1K.
