    1. A 35-year-old woman who was a homozygous carrier of the p.(Pro1066Arg) variant

      Case:Female, 35.

      DiseaseAssertion:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and conduction abnormalities.

      Familyinfo:The patient's father had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and carried a heterozygous MYBPC3 p.(Pro1066Arg) variant. The patient's mother was also heterozygous for the MYBPC3 variant. The patient had one sister who did not have reported cardiac abnormalities and was heterozygous for the MYBPC3 variant. The family was initially considered non-consanguineous. Genetic analysis identified a 26 Mb region of homozygosity, suggesting distant parental relatedness.

      ParentalTesting:Both parents were tested. The father and mother were heterozygous for MYBPC3 c.3197C>G (p.Pro1066Arg). The affected daughter inherited the variant from both parents and was homozygous.

      CasePresentingHPOs:HP:0031992, HP:0001685, HP:0005157, HP:0031295, HP:0001667, HP:0001670, HP:0001712, HP:0005144, HP: 0031195, HP:0030682, HP:0005135, HP: 0006682, HP: 0004763

      CaseHPOFreeText:The patient developed severe cardiac manifestations associated with homozygous MYBPC3 p.(Pro1066Arg). Cardiac MRI showed ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and features of left ventricular noncompaction. At follow-up, imaging showed asymmetric ventricular wall thickness, with a maximum diastolic thickness of 20 mm in the mid-lateral segment. She also had apical hypokinesia and left atrial enlargement. Electrocardiography and Holter monitoring showed premature ventricular complexes and a 20-beat episode of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.

      CaseNotHPOs:No specific negative HPO findings were established for the affected daughter in the reported HPO table.

      CaseNOTHPOFreeText:not reported

      CasePreviousTesting:Cardiac MRI, echocardiography, electrocardiography, and 24-hour Holter monitoring were performed. Genetic evaluation was also conducted to identify the MYBPC3 and MYH7 variants.

      GenotypingMethod:Whole-exome sequencing (WES) trio analysis was performed using DNA from the affected daughter and both parents. Family segregation analysis was performed by Sanger sequencing using an Applied Biosystems 3130 sequencer.

      FunctionalAnalysis:No direct functional analysis of the MYBPC3 variant was reported.

      Variant:NM_000256.3 (MYBPC3): c.3197C>G; p.(Pro1066Arg).

      ClinVar: 1171602

      CAID:not reported

      gnomAD:not reported

      AdditionalInfo:The patient was homozygous for the MYBPC3 p.(Pro1066Arg) variant. Both parents carried the variant in the heterozygous state. A 26 Mb region of homozygosity was identified on chromosome 11, supporting the possibility of distant parental relatedness. The variant was initially classified as a variant of uncertain significance and was subsequently reclassified as likely pathogenic following family segregation analysis.

At age 21, echocardiography showed a noncompacted-to-compacted myocardial ratio greater than 2:1, consistent with LVNC. Electrocardiography showed sinus rhythm with ST-T wave flattening in leads V4–V6, indicative of cardiac hypertrophy. The patient remained without cardiac symptoms and had a normal ejection fraction. Her BNP level increased to 204 pg/mL. She had normal renal function, with a serum creatinine level of 0.58 mg/dL, and no proteinuria.

      CaseNotHPOs:Hearing impairment: not reported, Ophthalmological abnormalities: not reported, Cardiac symptoms: not reported

      CaseNOTHPOFreeText:The patient remained asymptomatic despite the cardiac findings. No hearing impairment or ophthalmological abnormalities were identified.

      CasePreviousTesting:Echocardiography identified LVNC during childhood. Further cardiac evaluation included electrocardiography and follow-up BNP measurements. Renal evaluation included serum creatinine testing, urinalysis, abdominal ultrasonography, and genetic evaluation for hereditary kidney disease.

      GenotypingMethod:Whole exome sequencing was performed using DNA extracted from the patient's blood sample. Sanger sequencing was used to confirm both identified variants. The mother's DNA was also analyzed to determine inheritance.

      FunctionalAnalysis:No direct functional studies were performed on the ACTC1 variant. The authors used AlphaFold3 protein structure prediction to examine the effect of the amino acid substitution. The variant was located near the ATP-binding site, suggesting a possible effect on ACTC1 function and ATP binding.

      Variant:NM_005159.5 (ACTC1): c.922T>C; p.(Tyr308His).

      ClinVar:accession: VCV000948806.7.

      CAID:not reported

      gnomAD:not reported

      AdditionalInfo:The patient carried two separate heterozygous variants associated with different conditions. The COL4A4 c.2510G>C (p.Gly837Ala) variant was associated with autosomal dominant Alport syndrome, while the ACTC1 c.922T>C (p.Tyr308His) variant was identified as a candidate associated with LVNC. The ACTC1 variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) by the authors using ACMG criteria (PM2, PP3, PP4). The authors noted that there were no functional studies confirming its effect on ACTC1 protein function.

    1. recognized in a large family that originated in Newfoundland but has some members who live in New Brunswick and Ontario. A collaborative investigation was begun in 1982 to document the number of affected members and the extent of their disease and to improve management of the disease. The condition has been documented in 38 members of the family, 28 living and 10 dead. The most common manifestations are retinal angioma (present in 60% of the gene carriers) and pheochromocytoma (present in 53%). Of the 28 living affected members 14 had been identified before the study began. Only 3 of the 14 patients in whom the disease was subsequently diagnosed presented with symptoms; in the remaining 11 the condition was detected by routine screening. Overall the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 23 years; in the 21 affected members of the fourth generation it was 18 years.

    1. A previous study of 26 Japanese, VHL families was extended to 41 additional families. Germline mutations were detected in 55 of 77 Japanese families using SSCP, direct sequencing, and Southern Blot analysis of peripheral blood samples. The Q73Rfs*86 (c.217del) germline mutation was found in a VHL type 1 patient with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and retinal angiomas (family ID 98). The variant was reported as c.428del and mapped to c.215del which is equivalent to c.217del.

    1. This patient's brother (3 years younger) was followed with the similar accelerated screening protocol of biannual visits with alternating US and plasma catecholamines from the age of 5. At 11 years, the brother had a normal abdominal US, but, 6 months after, he was found to have plasma norepinephrine at 51,506 pmol/L, a 36-fold increase compared to the preceding year. MRI revealed a 3.5 cm adrenal mass, which at retroperitoneoscopic surgery required total adrenalectomy for excision. Pathology confirmed a 2.9 cm pheochromocytoma without residual tumor at the margins. This patient is followed since with a second version of an accelerated regimen. The second iteration of an accelerated regimen consists of biannual plasma catecholamines and visits with annual US. The brother is currently well after 2 years and a half of surveillance.

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: The patient's mother was the index case in this VHL family, as she was diagnosed with bilateral pheochromocytoma at age 23 and underwent bilateral adrenalectomy. Genetic screening of the mother revealed the VHL variant, which prompted screening of family members. DNA sequencing from blood of consenting family members confirmed the presence of the VHL variant in seven family members (three generations from the maternal side) (see figure 1 for familial pedigree). This included the mother (index case), the patient, his brother, maternal grandmother, uncle and two cousins. The brother, who was 3 years older, was asymptomatic until age 7, where an abdominal ultrasound revealed a left adrenal mass. A total adrenalectomy was performed and at age 1 another mouse was found in the right adrenal gland, which was also removed. 6 years later he was asymptomatic. The uncle developed hemangioblastoma, multiple bilateral renal cell carcinomas, bilateral pheochromocytomas, and succumbed to his disease at age 45. The uncle's two daughters both had the mutation. One of which was found to have pheochromocytoma at age 15 due to routine screening. The other 8 year old daughter has not had any manifestations. No phenotype was noted for the grandmother.

    5. A retrospective cohort study included all the VHL patients diagnosed at Peking University First Hospital (Beijing, China) prior to June 1 2016. A total of 291 patients from 115 different families were included for analysis. A male patient (family #16, patient #45) was confirmed with this missense mutation (p.R82P(c.245G>C)) in the VHL gene. He was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 40Y and multiple pancreatic cysts or tumours at 26Y. This patient was also published in a paper by Wang et al., 2018 (PMID: 29330336).

    1. c.292T > C p.Tyr98His

      216 patients with clinically expected VHL disease due to family history or presence of VHL typical tumours were routinely examined in an eye centre in Germany between January 2019 and January 2020, majority of which were of European descent (~95%). Since data on the genotype–phenotype correlation of the onset of Retinal Hemangioblastoma (RH) is scarce in relation to VHL disease, this study wanted to inversitage the relationship between VHL gene variants (truncating vs single amino acid substitutions) and the ocular phenotype of the disease. 42 different rare VHL gene variants in 148 patients were detected - some of whom had RH and some who did not. Although date of onset of RH, as well as data on central nervous system haemangioblastomas (CNSH), pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL), clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PNEN) were collected, it was not reported on a per patient basis and therefore could not be discussed per variant. Out of the 72 patients with a p.Y98H (c.292T>C) mutation, 57% (41/72) of individuals had RH while the other 43% (31/72) did not. No family information was provided.

    1. (a) Southern blot analysis. Genomic DNA (7 μg) was subjected to an Eco RI and Ase I double digest and hybridized with the 32P labeled VHL cDNA probe g7. The upper band corresponds to the wild-type VHL gene, while the lower band represents a VHL pseudogene (Ψ), located on chromosome 1 20. Typically, samples with a rearrangement in the VHL gene exhibit a less intense wild-type VHL band and an abnormal migrating band Lanes 2 and 9 both represent members from family 35. Patient 12 (N) is a carrier of a VHL missense mutation and can be regarded as a normal control in this analysis. (b) Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Peak signals on the electropherogram correspond to eight different probes recognizing exon 1 (four probes), exon 2 (two probes) and exon 3 (two probes) of the VHL gene, while all other peaks represent 21 control probes for other chromosomal loci, including the FANCD2 (3 probes) and IRAK2 (one probe) genes which, similar to VHL, are located on chromosome 3p. In MLPA, a 40–50% reduction of probe signal intensity typically indicates heterozygous deletion of the corresponding genomic sequence. Deleted VHL exons are indicated by a ‘Δ’ sign followed by the number of the exon involved. Probands 36 and 35 each show a partial VHL gene deletion. Note that in proband 42 the deletion encompasses not only the entire VHL gene, but also the FANCD2 and IRAK2 loci (indicated by ‘Δc’). Proband U168 carrying a deletion of VHL exon 2 was used as a control to validate the MLPA and is not described further in this paper. In all of our patients tested, MLPA results corresponded perfectly with data from Southern blotting, with respect to the VHL exons deleted.
    2. 18 c.509T>A p.Val170Asp p.V170D Familial VHL

      Between 1994 and 2001, the Dutch VHL working group conducted DNA analysis on 146 probands with VHL-associated manifestations. DNA of probands was extracted from peripheral blood samples. Exons 1, 2 and 3 of the VHL gene and their flanking untranslated and intronic coding sequences were amplified by PCR and subjected to semi-automated sequence analysis. Screening for structural rearrangements, including deletions, involving the VHL gene was performed by Southern blot analysis and the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay. Deletions encompassing the entire VHL gene were confirmed by FISH analysis on lymphocytes from affected individuals. VHL mutations were identified in 43 families. This mutation (c.509T>A) was detected in 14 VHL patients (family no. 18). Six had retinal hemangioblastoma, 9 had CNS hemangioblastoma, 7 had renal cell carcinoma, 8 had renal cysts, 4 had pheochromocytoma, 5 had pancreatic cysts, 2 had endolymphatic sac tumors, 1 with adnexal papillary tumor of probably mesonephric origin, and 5 had hepatic cysts.

An additional six members (II-3, II-4, II -5, III-1, III-2, and III-3) are suspected to have VHL without confirmation. Of note, the nuclear family (branch IV-13) contains 13 siblings, of whom 12 have been diagnosed with pheo. The presenting tumor types in Family 2 were pheo (70%), HB (17%), and RA (13%). No Family 2 member had RCC as the initial manifestation. Distribution of HB and RA are not described except for patient IV-8.

    1. High-molecular-weight deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the probands was isolated from peripheral blood according to standard procedures. Exons 1, 2, and 3 of the VHL gene and their immediately flanking sequences were amplified by use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Appropriate pairs of oligonucleotides were designed in the intronic regions flanking the three exons of the VHL gene. The flanking sequences included 75 nucleotides upstream of the start codon (the first nucleotide of the coding region is 214) and 45 nucleotides downstream of the stop codon. Amplicons were denatured at 94°C and renatured at 25°C for heteroduplex analysis. Denaturing acetonitrile gradient profiles and melting temperatures were established by the Wavemaker 3.0 software prediction. Equal amounts (50 ng) of PCR product were mixed with reference human wild-type genomic DNA and, after denaturation-renaturation, were screened for heteroduplexes by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC). For amplicons exhibiting abnormal dHPLC profiles, new PCR reactions were performed from 20 ng of genomic DNA, and sequence changes were evaluated by PCR product purification and direct sequencing (Big Dye; Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). The positive mutation results were repeated for confirmation.

      SamplingMethod: peripheral blood

    1. Peripheral blood from unrelated patients with pheochromocytoma was tested for mutations of proto-oncogene RET, tumor suppressor gene VHL, succinate dehydrogenase subunit D (SDHD) gene, and the succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) gene. Of 271 patients with nonsydromic pheochromocytoma and no family history of the disease, 30 mutations were found in VHL. Multiple pheochromocytomas were statistically more frequent among patients with mutations than among patients without mutations (21 of 66 vs. 5 of 205, P<0.001). The mutation F136C (c.407T>G) was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by c.620T>G due to a difference in transcript sequence. This missense mutation was found in the VHL gene and one patient with pheochromocytoma.

Of 271 patients with nonsydromic pheochromocytoma and no family history of the disease, 30 mutations were found in VHL. Multiple pheochromocytomas were statistically more frequent among patients with mutations than among patients without mutations (21 of 66 vs. 5 of 205, P<0.001). The Q195* (c.583C>T) mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by c.796C>T due to a difference in transcript sequence. This nonsense mutation was found in the VHL gene and one patient with pheochromocytoma. This study contains very strong evidence of pathogenicity in the form of a nonsense variant in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (ACMG code: PVS1).

    1. In a study of 114 unrelated VHL families, 85 germline mutations were found. VHL mutations were detected in affected family members, but not in unaffected family members or 96 normal individuals. This nonsense mutation was found in a VHL type 1 patient and familiy of 4 individuals (family IDs 3760 and 3759), using PCR and SSCP sequencing. The mutation of c.336C>A was referred to in the paper by c.549C>A due to a difference in transcript sequence. In family 3759, 3 of 4 individuals were identified with retinal angiomas, 1 with CNS hemangioblastoma, and one with renal cell carcinoma. For individual 3760, they had retinal and CNS hemangiomas. ACMG codes as follows: Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease (PP1). Patient's phenotype is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology (PP4).

    1. One hundred and sixteen unrelated VHL disease patients have been investigated by molecular genetic analysis. Twenty-two of these were previously shown to have germline deletions on Southern analysis, and in the present study the remaining 94 patients were screened for intragenic mutations via SSCP and heteroduplex analysis of 855 bp of the VHL coding sequence and 800 bp of the 3' UTR. An intragenic mutation was identified in 55 (59%) out of 94 patients without germline deletions on Southern analysis. In all patients with multiple affected family members the missense mutation segregated with the disease. Large deletions or intragenic mutations predicted to cause a truncated protein were found in 36 of 53 families without pheochromocytoma (VHL type 1) and 2 of 12 families with pheochromocytoma (VHL type 2). This study also investigated the frequency of different mutation classes between kindreds with and without pheochromocytoma. The p.N78H(c.232A>C) missense mutation (noted as p.N149H (c.445A>C) in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used) was found in at least one patient in kindred 34. Pheochromocytoma was not observed in any members of this kindred (implying the affected patient(s) had VHL disease type 1). No other familial phenotypic information could be inferred from the paper.

    2. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients were analyzed and confirmed that higher risk of pheochromocytoma is associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid or that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL). Age-related risks of retinal hemangoblastomas and renal cell carcinoma were higher in patients with nonsense or frameshift mutations. This nonsense mutation (c.264G>A) was found in a VHL family with 3 affected members, 1 had retinal hemangioblastomas, 1 had cerebellar hemangioblastomas, 2 had renal cell carcinoma, and 1 had pheochromocytoma. There is very strong evidence for pathogenicity in the form of a nonsense variant in a gene where loss-of-function is known mechanism of disease (ACMG code: PVS1).

    3. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds were analyzed. Higher risk of pheochromocytoma was associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid (p<=0.004) than for patients with missense mutations that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL) or other loss of function mutations (either germline deletions or truncating mutations). This missense mutation (c.533T>C), affecting residue on the surface of pVHL, was found in a VHL family of 3. All family members had retinal hemangioblastomas and cerebellar hemangioblastomas. Two had renal cell carcinoma. Another family in this study was observed with a L178R (c.533T>G) mutation. ACMG codes as follows: Supporting evidence of pathogenicity because Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2).

    4. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds were analyzed.

This missense mutation (c.332G>A), affecting surface residue of pVHL, was found in 3 VHL type 1 families with 10 affected individuals altogether. Four of 10 individuals had retinal angioma, 6 had cerebellar hemangioblastoma, and 2 had renal cell carcinoma.

He found to have a 6cm right adrenal mass. It was resected and he remains disease-free at 19 months of post-operative follow-up. Patient’s father has VHL, and had undergone bilateral adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma and bilateral nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.

    1. L163R

      A 6Y old boy presented at the Children's Hospital with left adrenal pheochromocytoma, and relapsed with right adrenal pheochromocytoma a year later. His outcome was uneventful in a five year follow-up. His father had left adrenal pheochromocytoma and left extra-adrenal paraganglioma when the father was 11Y, and had an uneventful outcome. A germline VHL missense transversion mutation NM_000551.3:c.488T>G(L163R) was confirmed in both the son and father, and was found by sequencing with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and analysis with single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP). The patient's mother and 3 other siblings had no symptoms and no mutation. Note that the paper describes this variant as c.701T>G since it uses an older reference sequence (Latif et al.).

    1. nt 768, C to G,

      Fourty-four of 389 patients with VHL (between 1988-1999) screened positive for PNETs either by pathologic analysis of tissue specimens or by characteristic radiographic appearance on CT and MRI. VHL gene germline mutations were determined by quantitative Southern blotting to detect deletions of the gene and gene rearrangements as well as complete gene sequencing. Patient 16, a 24-year-old female, was found to harbour the c.555C>G mutation in the VHL gene (stated as 768 C to G in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference) leading to a premature stop codon at protein position 185 in exon 3. She presented with a single pathologic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. Germline mutations were identified in 300/469 (63%) of the families tested; 137 distinct intragenic germline mutations were detected.

      Germline mutational data on VHL was gathered from various countries to assess variation in germline mutations that produce disease within different populations. Families were grouped according to three possible outcomes of disease: renal cell carcinoma without pheochromocytoma, renal cell carcinoma with pheochromocytoma, or pheochromocytoma alone. SSCP and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis identified mutations in 300/469 (63%) of families affected with VHL. This germline familial VHL mutation (D126fs (c.375dupC)) was taken from the Cambridge, Department of Pathology database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 102CA. It was reported in the paper as c.588insC due to a difference in transcript reference. As reported in Table 3, this mutation is found in VHL families without pheochromocytoma, and with renal cell carcinoma.

    1. c.245G > C

      A Mexican family with Von Hippel-Lindau disease was identified. The family consisted of 6 clinically affected members, 3 of which received genetic testing that demonstrated the presence of the R82P (c.245G>C) germline mutation of the VHL gene. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and the entire VHL coding sequence was amplified using PCR and direct automated sequencing of VHL was performed. Genetic testing was also performed in 21 clinically asymptomatic family members. 3 of these individuals were found to carry the same mutation, but it was concluded they were too young to manifest the disease. Clinical manifestations present in this family include: cerebellar hemangioblastoma, retinal hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma. Beyond this, one of the asymptomatic carriers of this variant presented with atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium at age 4.

    2. In a study of 426 unrelated VHL patients, 111 were discovered to have alterations in the VHL gene. 18 novel variants were identified in VHL patients, but none were present in 200 unaffected control individuals. DNA samples from peripheral blood leukocytes underwent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), and direct sequence analysis of the entire coding sequence and intron-exon boundaries. The L169P (c.506T>C) germline missense mutation of the VHL gene was found in a 21 yr old VHL patient with retinal hemangioblastomas (index case 344).

    1. 12 missenses

      27 index patients suspected of having VHL disease from unrelated Chinese families and their relatives were studied. The nucleotide were numbered according to the sequence numbering by Latif et al, 1993 and this was converted to NM_000551.3. The paper did not differentiate between a pancreatic cysts and tumor and presented these together as a 'pancreatic lesion'. The paper summariezed the phenotypes of the families together. Family 4 was found with p.Val74Gly mutation in the VHL gene: 2/3 members had CNS hemangioblastoma, 1/3 had retinal angioma, and 1/3 members had a pancreatic lesion. ACMG PP4

    1. 41 non-related patients with retinal capillary hemangioma presenting in the Benjamin Franklin University Eye Clinic between 1988 to 1999 Germany were evaluated for the presence of other VHL lesions. VHL disease was diagnosed in 33 patients based on the presence of other severe VHL lesions (spinal hemangioblastoma, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, renal cysts, pancreatic cyst, renal carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma), molecular genetic testing, and/or family history. VHL germline mutations were identified in 27 out of 29 VHL families screened with molecular genetics. Blood samples were genetically tested using PCR-SSCP sequencing. One patient (14Y, female) presented with vision loss due to a single juxtapapillary angioma and was found to have germline nonsense (c.492G>T) mutation in the VHL gene. Her brother (27Y) was also found to have the variant but did not present with any VHL phenotypes. The probands’ sister was negative for the variant. This variant was reported as c.705G>T (AF010238.1) and mapped to p.Q164H (c.492G>T) (NM_000551.3).

Here we report a c.464T>A mutation of the VHL gene in three patients with hemangioblastoma from a Chinese family. This mutation was not reported previously and was absent in the unaffected family members. The mutation is predicted to cause Val to Glu substitution at VHL protein residue 155 in a conserved region. Previous biochemical studies demonstrated that residue Val-155 was critical for VHL protein binding to chaperonin TRiC/CCT, an essential step for proper VHL protein folding. Our finding of naturally occurring VHL V155E mutation in patients with VHL syndrome supports the functional importance of Val-155 residue in VHL protein and illustrates the diversity of VHL gene defects underlying VHL syndrome.

      A novel heterozygous mutation (c.464T>A, p.Val155Glu) was detected in affected family members of a Chinese family. No mutation was detected in unaffected family members. The mutation segregated with the disease phenotype throughout three generations. Case III:1 (the proband) was a 26 year old female with a diagnosis of hemangioblastoma. The tumors in the proband’s pancreatic tail and retroperitoneal space indicated pancreatic islet cell tumor and phaeochromocytoma. The probands grandmother (I-1) was 79 years old and presented with cerebellar hemangioblastomas at 74Y. The proband’s 53-year-old father (II-1) also presented with cerebellar hemangioblastomas at 39Y, which were operated on 3 times. Genomic DNA was isolated from venous blood using a Wizard Genomic DNA purification kit (Takara, China). Oligonucleotide primers to amplify VHL gene exons were designed by software Primer 5.0 according to the NCBI gene database. To verify the mutation identified and to exclude the possibility that the mutation may alter RNA splicing, peripheral blood cells were obtained from the proband and total RNAs were extracted using the Trizol kit (Invitrogen, USA). Complementary cDNAs were made using random primers. VHL cDNA were amplified by RT-PCR Amplified RT- PCR fragments were separated on agarose gels, purified and sequenced. AMCG evidence codes: ’flag for PP4 review’ because the patients phenotype is specific for a mutation in the VHL gene, ‘PP1’ because there is co-segreggation of the variant with VHL disease in the family.

    1. DNA extraction, genotyping of coding sequences and deletion search Venous blood samples were drawn from all participants and DNA was extracted from whole blood (DNA purification kit, Gentra). The different exons and intron-exon boundaries of SDHD, SDHB, SDHC, and VHL genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Screening for mutations was performed by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP), and heteroduplex analysis, as previously described [10] or by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) analysis, using the WAVE 3500 HT system (Transgenomic, Inc., Omaha, NE, USA). Fragments showing abnormal migration were re-amplified and sequenced on a CEQ2000 capillary sequencer (Beckman Coulter). Search for large rearrangement (deletion/duplication) was performed by Quantitative multiplex PCR of short fluorescent fragments (QMPSF) [11] or Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) (SALSA MLPA kit P226; MRC-Holland, Amsterdam, The Netherlands). The functionality of observed genetic changes was assessed in silico as previously described

    1. After genetic counseling and with informed consent, mutation analysis was performed in the parents, a sibling, and, subsequently, in the paternal grandparents. The heterozygous mutation c.491A > G (Q164R) arose de novo in the patient's 31-year-old father who had so far been free of medical complaints and was normotensive (Fig. 2). Upon screening, a retinal angioma, an adenoma of the right adrenal gland of 1.5 cm in diameter, a right-sided renal cyst, an epididymal cyst, a contrast-enhancing lesion in the pancreas and bilateral pheochromocytomas with pronounced tracer-uptake on I-123-MIBG-scan and F-18-DOPA-PET-scan were detected. Noradrenaline, normetanephrine, and plasma-normetanephrine were elevated. Chromogranin A values were increased in plasma. The father underwent laparoscopic bilateral adrenalectomy and received focal ophthalmologic treatment for the retinal angioma

    1. detected point germline vhl mutations in 14 patients

      A retrospective study reviewed cases of 23 patients with advanced and complicated VHL eye disease who underwent pars plana vitrectomy in the years 1999 to 2012 that were a part of 223 VHL patients consulted at the International Hereditary Cancer Center and Polish VHL Registry. Genetic molecular analysis was performed in 22/23 patients through PCR and MLPA, and 24 eyes from 23 patients were studied. A germline mutation was found in 2 patients: c.292T>A transversion results in a p.Tyr98Asn protein change. A 20 year old (patient 13) with a germline with previous history of HbCNS. Patient was examined in a study of advanced VHL eye disease and had multiple retinal capillary hemangioblastomas requiring surgery. A 19 year old (patient 20) had a previous history of HbCNS. Patient was examined in a study of advanced VHL eye disease and had multiple retinal capillary hemangioblastomas requiring surgery. Since patients were listed 'by eye' it is impossible to determine how many patients listed above actually represent unique patients.

    1. The data of 18 patients with solid renal tumours associated with VHL disease were analyzed. Seventeen patients had a VHL family history, the only patient that had no family history of VHL was patient 12. The patients came from 12 Chinese families and 5 were from the same family. Extrarenal manifestations of VHL disease were detected in 17 patients. Of 18 patients, 15 (including 6 asymptomatic) volunteered for DNA testing as previously described. Patients 17 and 18 had genetic testing and were found to have the same germline mutation c.332G>A (Ser111Asn). This missense mutation is noted as c.545G>A in the paper due to a difference in the VHL reference sequence notation used. It is unclear if these patients are related. Both patients 17 and 18 had family study DNA test as their reason for treatment. Patient 17 was a 39-year-old female with a medical history of solid renal tumour, multiple renal cysts, CNS hemangioblastoma, pancreatic cyst, retinal angioma. Patient 18 was a 45-year-old male with a medical history of synchronous bilateral solid renal tumors and CNS hemangioblastoma.

    1. The VHL germline mutation previously detected in the white blood cells of this patient was C407T, Ser65Leu. Mutation analysis of all the VHL exons revealed this germline mutation in exon 1 in all tumors analyzed; however, no additional somatic mutations were detected (Table 1)

      A 44-year-old man presented with a generalized epileptic attack. Diagnostic workup revealed a cystic left cerebellar tumor, which on histologic examination proved to be a hemangioblastoma. Identification of a VHL germline mutation (c.194C>T, reported as c.407C>T due to a difference in transcript sequence) in a blood sample of the patient confirmed the diagnosis. The patient also had retinal hemangioblastomas, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma around 51Y. Family history was positive for VHL disease, although no further information provided. The patient died 10 years later at 54Y from metastases to the heart and autopsy also confirmed pheochromocytoma and pancreatic endocrine tumour. Somatic and chromosomal imbalances in the tumours of this patient were also documented. ACMG PP4 phenotypes and family history consistent with VHL disease.

    1. Seven VHL mutations were identified in 10 unrelated, Swedish families. Direct genome sequencing through Southern blot identified this missense mutation (c.223delA) in a family (#3) of 8 individuals. One affected family member had renal cell carcinoma, 2 had retinal angiomas, and 2 had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system. Other information on the affected member and relatives was not available.

      42 CNS hemangioblastoma samples were obtained from 31 patients, who were consecutively treated between 1993 and 1997 at the Department of Neurosurgery of the Freiburg University Medical Centre were analyzed for VHL mutations. One patient of 17 presenting with VHL germline mutations presented with the I151T (c.452T>C) mutation (stated as c.665T>C in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). Single strand conformation polymorphism and southern blotting for variant identification in the DNA found in blood samples. The patient was established as having VHL disease by standard of Neumann at al., 1987. The patient presented with a single vermis tumor.

    1. NM_000551.3:c.95A>G(p.Glu32Gly)

      This abstract presented the case of a 37-year-old caucasian male with a right adrenal pheochromocytoma. Genetic testing revealed NM_000551.3:c.95A>G(p.Glu32Gly) mutation in the VHL gene. The patient also had significant family history in grandmother who had an adrenalctomy and his son diagnosed with hypertension. Genetic testing for family member was not reported in the abstract.

    1. In family 4, the proband was a female who had a bilateral pheochromocytoma at the age of 46 years that recurred locally with liver metastases a few years later. Her brother had a monolateral benign pheochromocytoma. The proband also had a melanoma and bilateral renal cysts. A VHL sequence variant IVS2 +43 A>G was found in this case and also in one other unrelated sporadic pheochromocytoma. Their VHL mRNA integrity is currently being assessed. The proband had no cerebellar or spinal NMR finding or retinal alterations. Molecular analysis showed the following sequence variants: VHL IVS2 +43 A>G, RET c.2071 G>A p.G691S, SDHD c.34 G>A p.G12S, IVS2-29 A>G, c.204 C>T p.S68S, and IVS3-32 T>C.

    2. The authors described the growth kinetics of 96 renal tumours in 64 VHL patients (32 males, 32 females). All patients had VHL disease with renal involvement. 54/64 had undergone renal surgery or a radiofrequency thermal ablation procedure for RCC. In 10/64 patients, at least one or more RCC was diagnosed. However, at the time of diagnosis, an indication for treatment was not yet present. For all patients, several CT/MRI scans existed for retrospective description of tumour growth kinetics. 10-ml EDTA anticoagulated blood samples were available from each patient for mutation screening of all exons of the VHL gene. Genomic DNA from blood samples was extracted using standard methods. Small deletions/insertions or point mutations were identified by DNA sequencing followed by complete mutation screening using PCR/single-strand conformation polymorphism and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography. A germline missense variant p.W88R(c.262T>A) was identified in two patients: patient #43 and patient #46. This mutation was noted as c.475T>A in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used (see Table S1). No family information is available for either patient, and there is no indication these patients are related.

    1. A 3 year-old girl was admitted in the Department of Pediatric Oncology following several months history of febrile episodes, sweating and irritability. Symptoms were first interpreted as being of infectious causes, and that is why she received repeated antibiotic therapies. There was no improvement, and that is why more investigations were performed. An abdominal ultrasound performed in a pediatric hospital revealed a right adrenal tumor mass that prompted the transfer to our unit.Family history: the patient’s mother aged 38 was diagnosed with bilateral pheochromocytoma resected when she was the age of 18 years. She presented several relapses, the most recent one at the age of 32, when she was also diagnosed with cerebral angioma. Genetic testing revealed the presence of the VHL c 244 C>G (p.

      FamilyInfo: The patient’s mother and two brothers had died with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, although genetic testing was not performed. One of the patient’s four children, a 46Y male, also presented with a small renal tumour, renal cysts, and pancreatic cysts; he was found to carry the same mutation the patient carried. One of the patient’s grandsons, a 10Y male, was also found to carry the same mutation as the patient but was asymptomatic. Genealogical inquiry also revealed that the patient was distantly related to a known VHL family; one member, a 47Y male, was previously operated on for CNS hemangioblastoma, RCC and symptomatic pheochromocytoma and was found to carry the same mutation as the proband. Another female member had previously presented with retinal hemangioblastoma before becoming deceased at 37Y. The paper also asserted that the patient’s grandmother and two distant relatives carried the mutation, although genotyping was not performed and phenotypic information was not provided.

      CaseHPOFreeText: The patient was originally diagnosed with metastatic bilateral clear cell renal cell carcinoma at 68Y and underwent chemotherapy for three months. The metastases were later reinterpreted to be a cystic hemangioblastoma and a benign serous cystadenoma. The patient was also found to have a non-secreting adrenal pheochromocytoma at 73Y and a clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasis in the thyroid at 74Y. The patient had also previously presented with retinal lesions, although detailed records were unavailable.

    1. 12 patients with supratentorial hemangioblastoma were studied at Le Kremlin-Bicêtre University. Other phenotypes included: 6 patients with pancreatic cysts, 1 patient with an endocrine pancreatic tumor, 5 patients with renal cell carcinoma, 3 patients with phaeochromocytoma, and 6 patients with retina hemangioblastomas, although specific phenotypes for each patient was not described. Blood samples were isolated from patients and the coding sequence and flanking intronic sequences were directly sequenced. Quantitative Southern blotting and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification studies were performed to detect large genomic rearrangements. Two patients were found with the germline p.Arg161Gln mutation. Patient 9 (female diagnosed with hemangioblastoma at 23Y) and patient 10 (female diagnosed with hemangioblastoma at 14Y and then at 16Y) are related.

    1. family A, a single nucleotide mutation, T>C, in VHL exon 1 was detected in proband A01 and offspring A002 (without disease), and both were T homozygotes;

      Three families with VHL syndrome were enrolled in this study in 2012 to identify variants. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on members (3 generations) with VHL syndrome of all three families. The three families included 9 patients with confirmed VHL syndrome, but according to family history and clinical diagnosis, some members of all 3 families had VHL syndrome. 9 patients were found to have CNS Hemangioblastomas (Hbs), but not all of them had VHL gene mutations. This means CNS Hb in VHL syndrome is not only related to VHL gene mutations. Therefore, mutations in CNS HB-related genes were examined and a total of 34 mutations in the following 21 genes were found: BCLAF1, CACNA1B, CROCC, FRG1, KCNJ12, MAP2K3, MUC4, MUC5B, MUC6, OR4C3, OR4 M2, OR9G1, POTEC, PRIM2, PRSS1, SLC25A5, SLC9B1, SUSD2, TAS2R19, TAS2R31, and TUBA3E. In family 1 (A), the WES results showed a homozygous P86S(c.256C>T) missense variant in exon 1 of the VHL gene in proband A01 and offspring A002. Proband A01 had CNS Hb, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, and pancreatic cystic disease, while the daughter has no disease. Proband's mother, two uncles, and aunt-in-law had hemangioblastomas and are no longer alive. Proband's cousin also had a hemangioblastoma.

    1. All germline mutations in VHL,

      A cohort of 36 PCCs and four functional PGL tumours were analysed by exome-seq and high-density SNP-array analysis using tumor paired blood. This specified germline VHL mutation (tumor ID: V-PH-29T) belonged to a female diagnosed with bilateral phaeochromocytoma at age 8Y, surgery at 10Y. She also had a personal history including extra adrenal abdominal phaeochromocytoma and lymph node involvement at age 8yrs. The p.V84L (c.250G>C) VHL mutation was also accompanied by an additional germline variant: MEN1: c.512G>C (p.Arg171Pro). It was stated that there were no familial cancers/syndromic illnesses with this patient. Additionally, this patient was likely previously published in PMID: 26796762 (ID: WM02).

      37 Danish patients diagnosed with VHL before 18 years from a prospective cohort study from Denmark's National vHL Research Database (Binderup et al., 2013) were assessed. One family with 3 patients (Family ID 5) was found with a germline truncating mutation in the VHL gene (Q145*; c.433C>T). Patient 1 was diagnosed at 0Y and had 1 retinal hemangioblastoma at 17Y. Patient 2 was diagnosed at 3Y and had 13 CNS hemangioblastomas at 11Y, 13Y, 15Y, and 17Y, 1 retinal hemangioblastoma at 13Y, and 2 pancreatic cysts at 16Y. Patient 3 was diagnosed at 9Y and had 1 retinal hemangioblastoma at 12Y, 1 pancreatic cyst at 12Y, 1 CNS hemangioblastoma at 15Y, and kidney disease at 12Y. They were 28Y, 20Y and 22Y respectively at the end of the study.

    1. missense germline mutation in exon 3 of the VHL gene (p.Leu158Pro)

      A case series described 3 patients with endolymphatic sac tumor and VHL disease. Case #2 showed a female patient who was previously diagnosed with VHL at 30Y and previously had cerebellar hemangioblastomas, (unspecified) renal cancer, retinal hemangioblastoma. At 46Y, the patient was found with endolymphatic sac tumour. Genetic testing confirmed a VHL germline mutation in the patient (c.473T>C) but not in the patient's family, suggesting a de novo mutation.

      A retrospective series of case reports were analyzed to detect and compare changes in VHL disease-associated tumors before and after sunitinib treatment. Sanger sequencing of blood identified the mutations discussed. Two members of a family tested positive for a c.239G>T VHL mutation leading to a p.Ser80Ile protein change. The first family member (patient 1) described is a 44 year old female, whose presentations included bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma at 29, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor at 38, renal cysts and renal cell carcinoma at 42, and cerebellar hemangioblastoma at 43. Her daughter underwent cortex-sparing adrenalectomies for bilateral pheochromocytomas as well as hemangioblastoma resection in her left cerebellum at age of 19 years, although testing for VHL is not stated. Patient 2, the brother of the first patient, presented with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma at 38, cerebellar hemangioblastoma at 46, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma at 54.

      A study investigated paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma tumors in a retrospective cohort and a prospective cohort. Some of these tumors were found with germline VHL mutations. Tumour ID 92 (from a patient who was 29 years old) was paraganglioma and a germline c.430G>C mutation in the VHL gene. Other phenotypic and demographic information was not available.

    1. VHL Variants

      Description This report studied the prevalence of germline variants in Japanese PPGL patients. Of the 370 PPGL original Japanese probands, this cohort consisted of 15 patients with pheochromocytoma and/or paragangliomas with germline VHL varaints. Blood samples were used to examine 7 genes: MAX, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127, VHL, and RET, using Sanger sequencing. Of these 15 VHL patients: 10 had bilateral PCC, 4 had PCC with abdominal/thoracic PGL, and one had metastatic PPGL. The variant R161Q (c.482G>A) was one of the 15 found in a patient with PPGL. Their family history or further manifestations were not detailed.

    1. Patient P2 A 42-year-old woman was referred to the Eye Clinic due to a lesion in OS. OD was normal. BCVA was 20/25, and a peripheral RCH with a macular pseudohole was observed at the fundoscopic examination (Figure 3). The tumor was treated using laser photocoagulation and required several treatment sessions. One week after the first laser session, the pseudohole progressed to a lamellar macular hole (LMH) and after some months, to a FTMH. BCVA worsened to 20/63 in 2012, and pars plana vitrectomy was successfully performed: The macular epiretinal membrane and internal limiting membrane were peeled. During follow-up, a retinal tear was detected (in 2014), and it was treated using a barrage laser. The last follow-up visit (in September 2019) revealed a good macular profile and RCH regression; BCVA in OS was 20/25. During the follow-up, OS did not develop lesions.

      21 consenting patients treated for pheochromocytoma over a 10-yr period at the University of Freiburg Medical Center were affected by VHL and donated peripheral blood for germline DNA analyses. DNA was sequenced using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of all three exons of the VHL gene. Two of these 21 patients had a p.Leu178Gln germline mutation, (c.746T>A legacy notation converted to c.533T>A). Patients 17 and 18 were related and presented with pheochromocytomas. Patient 17 only had a single benign pheochromocytoma but patient 18 had three pheochromocytomas. No other patient data and demographics was available.

      VHL germline mutation carriers who had an ophthalmologic examination at the Erasmus Medical Centre or the Rotterdam Eye Hospital between 1984 and 2017, and were diagnosed with retinal hemangioblastoma (RH) were included in this study. A diagnosis of RH was based on the clinical appearance of a vasoproliferative retinal tumour. Peripheral blood samples from every member that had clinically suspected VHL disease of each family were collected for VHL mutation analysis. A total of 21 patients from 10 families were included on the basis of both a VHL germline mutation and ocular manifestations. Copy number analyses were carried out by multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Mutations were described as one of the following two groups: truncating (complete deletion, partial deletion, nonsense mutation, splice site mutation, duplication and insertion) or missense. Ocular manifestations were not reported on an individual level, but rather were broken down based on the two groups. From Pedigree (family) 4, one individual was suspected of VHL disease and mutational analysis revealed a germline N78S(c.233A>G) missense mutation. This individual had RH development.

    1. Case report: We present a case of a compound heterozygote patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease and familial erythrocytosis type 2. One of the mutations found in our patient, c.416C>G (p.Ser139Cys) of the VHL gene, has not been previously reported. This case is the second one reported where von Hippel-Lindau disease and familial erythrocytosis type 2 coexist in the same individual.

    1. start codon variant (c.3G>A, p.Met1Ile) and a missense variant (c.631A>C, p.Met211Leu)

      Out of 48 Danish families presenting with renal cell carcinoma, one patient was found to harbor the germline mutations c.3G>A (p.Met1Ile) and c.631A>C (p.Met211Leu) in the VHL gene. This patient was diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (age of onset: 28). He had a family history of testicular cancer in his maternal uncle. The patient has been through the national screening program for putative VHL, which includes MRI of the cerebrum, spinal medulla and abdomen, neurological examination, auditory tests, ocular examination and blood work for chromogranin A and metanephrines, with normal results. The proband also presented with the germline variant c.1729+8T>C in BAP1. Unclear if/which other family members were genetically tested.

    1. 1 France c.533T>C p.Leu178Pro

      Patients with ELSTs were identified and included in the International Endolymphatic Sac Tumor Registry. The registry contained 93 patients as of July 2014, and of those, 25 were sporadic, and 68 associated with VHL. Patients with ELSTs and clinically confirmed diagnoses of VHL were included in this study. Statistics of this VHL subgroup are as follows: mean age 30, 62% female, 91% symptomatic, 54% with retinal angioma, 72% with CNS hemangioblastoma, 46% with renal cell carcinoma, 19% with pheochromocytoma, and 12% with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour. In the data from this study, only endolymphatic sac tumours can be confirmed as a phenotype for this mutation (c.533T>C), which was found in 1 individual from France.

      Six patients with classic VHL disease (VHL patients) and 6 healthy control participants took part in the study. The patients were free from any associated neoplasia at the time of the study and had no other medical disorders. With respect to the VHL patients, the aim of the authors was to determine whether any aspects of the CP phenotype are detectable in classic VHL disease. One 53Y female VHL patient and a 27Y male VHL patient with unknown phenotypes were described to have the Ser111Asn VHL mutation.
