Abstract

The hypoxia‐inducible factors (HIFs; isoforms HIF‐1α, HIF‐2α, HIF‐3α) mediate many responses to hypoxia. Their regulation is principally by oxygen‐dependent degradation, which is initiated by hydroxylation of specific proline residues followed by binding of von Hippel‐Lindau (VHL) protein. Chuvash polycythe‐mia is a disorder with elevated HIF. It arises through germline homozygosity for hypomorphic VHL alleles and has a phenotype of hematological, cardiopulmonary, and metabolic abnormalities. This study explores the phenotype of two other HIF pathway diseases: classic VHL disease and HIF‐2α gain‐of‐function mutation. No cardiopulmonary abnormalities were detected in classic VHL disease. HIF‐2α gain‐of‐function mutations were associated with pulmonary hypertension, increased cardiac output, increased heart rate, and increased pulmonary ventilation relative to metabolism. Comparison of the HIF‐2α gain‐of‐function responses with data from studies of Chuvash polycythemia suggested that other aspects of the Chuvash phenotype were diminished or absent. In classic VHL disease, patients are germline heterozygous for mutations in VHL, and the present results suggest that a single wild‐type allele for VHL is sufficient to maintain normal cardiopulmonary function. The HIF‐2α gain‐of‐function phenotype may be more limited than the Chuvash phenotype either because HIF‐1α is not elevated in the former condition, or because other HIF‐independent functions of VHL are perturbed in Chuvash polycythemia.—Formenti, F., Beer, P.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
