      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC9402235

      Evidence Type(s): Functional

      Summary: Mutation: c.236A>G; p.Tyr79Cys | Summary: The c.236A>G (p.Tyr79Cys) variant alters the molecular function of the ELOC gene, as the Tyr79 residue is critical for forming a hydrogen bond with the Pro154 residue within the pVHL alpha domain. It has been shown to mimic the effects of pVHL deficiency on hypoxic signaling and is associated with mosaicism, suggesting it alters molecular or biochemical function.

      Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: c.261_272del (p.Thr88_Pro91del) | Summary: The c.261_272del (p.Thr88_Pro91del) variant is described as an in-frame deletion that alters molecular function, contributing to the understanding of ELOC variants in RCC.
