page$variant$nameSummary
C162F is a missense variant in VHL: it changes a single amino acid in the protein the gene encodes. ClinVar classifies it as pathogenic for Von Hippel-Lindau Disease (criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts).
ClinVar classifications
| Condition | Classification | Review status | Submissions | Last evaluated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Von Hippel-Lindau DiseaseClinVar VCV000043604 (opens in a new tab) | Pathogenic | 2 stars out of 4criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts | 3 submissions | 18 October 2023 |
Classifications as ClinVar records them in release 2026-10-12. ClinVar updates them as evidence is reviewed.
ACMG/AMP criteria
The ACMG/AMP criteria C162F meets, from its predicted effect in VHL, gnomAD and ClinVar.
| Criterion | Strength | Rests on |
|---|---|---|
| PM2Absent or very rare in population databases | Supporting | Not seen in gnomAD exomes, gnomAD genomes |
| PP5A reputable source reports it as pathogenic | Supporting | ClinVar: Pathogenic (criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts) |
On these criteria alone: uncertain significance.
Assessed automatically, without functional, computational or family evidence. Not a clinical classification.
Population frequency
How often C162F is seen among the people whose exomes and genomes gnomAD 4.1 brings together.
| Dataset | Allele frequency | Allele count | Homozygotes | Commonest in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| gnomAD exomes | Not seen | 0 of 0 | 0 | |
| gnomAD genomes | Not seen | 0 of 0 | 0 |
Figures from gnomAD 4.1, as gnomAD publishes them. Groups are genetic ancestry groups as gnomAD infers them. They describe the variant in gnomAD's populations, not anyone's result.
Where it lies in VHL
C162F lies in exon 3 of the 3 in VHL's MANE Select transcript, NM_000551.4.

Limitations
This page describes publicly available information about a genetic variant. It is not a diagnosis, and it says nothing about whether you or anyone else carries this variant.
Classifications come from ClinVar and change as new evidence is reviewed. A classification here may differ from the one in ClinVar today, or from the one a laboratory reports.
Whole genome sequencing with short reads can miss or miscall some variants, particularly in repeated or highly similar stretches of DNA and in large insertions, deletions or rearrangements.
If you have questions about a variant in your own results or in your family, talk to a genetic counsellor or your doctor.
