    4. Genetic subdivision All patients who fulfilled clinical criteria of VHL (Schmid et al. 2014) were included in the analyses, regardless of the presence of a positive genetic test result. Molecular genetic testing was conducted by DNA sequencing and gene dosage analysis. Since a molecular genetic testing has often already been performed close to patient's home and since the patients live all over Germany, the molecular genetic data not performed in our internal human genetic laboratory originate from several different external laboratories all over Germany. For molecular genetic testing, DNA sequencing and gene dosage analysis of the VHL gene (NCBI/Ensembl gene ID: 7428; reference genome: GRCh37.p13) were conducted. The pathogenicity of the VHL gene variant was reviewed via the human gene mutation database (HGMD®). If the genetic test result was known, patients were divided into two groups, patients with a truncating variant or a complete deletion of the VHL gene, and patients with a single amino-acid substitution/deletion. If the pathogenicity of detected VHL gene variant was uncertain, the patient was not assigned to either of the above groups.

      FamilyInfo: Family’s roots were traced to the German town of Leipzig in Saxony, from whence the original 11 siblings had immigrated to America around 1670. The following report is a 2011 updated pedigree on the previously reported Tisherman kindred. At the time of this study, 43/49 patients have undergone mutational analysis revealing the VHL familial mutation (Y112H) and 35/49 patients have clinical VHL manifestations. Phenotypic cumulative lifetime risk was 71% for Pheo/PGL, 15% for hemangioblastoma, 33% for retinal angioma, 3% for renal cell carcinoma, and 3% for pancreatic cysts. 6 members of the family (all deceased; 4 males, 2 females) had suspected VHL and 2 (males) of these were suspected to have had Pheo/PGL.

    1. Thirty-five unrelated patients suspected of having von Hippel-Lindau disease were analyzed and 32 VHL gene variants were found in 35 patients using PCR and SSCP by peripheral blood leukocytes. An association of clear cell renal carcinoma development with a relatively high loss of structural stability in VHL protein missense mutations was discovered. A mutation, F76del(c.227_229del) (noted as g.941_943delTCT in the paper originally) was found in a patient with cerebellar hemangioblastomas, renal cyst, and pancreatic cyst, the pateints age on onset was 31 years old. No family history was mentioned, other than a note of no familial antecedents with the disease.

    2. 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. Patient 16 had genetic testing and was found to have a germline mutation c.286C>T (Gln96*). This missense mutation is noted as c.499C>T in the paper due to a difference in the VHL reference sequence notation used. Patient 16 was a 50-year-old female with a medical history of solid renal tumour and CNS hemangioblastoma.

    1. c.598C>T

      The authors identify a new VHL cryptic exon (termed E1') deep in intron 1 that is naturally expressed in many tissues. Mutations in E1' are identified in 7 families with erythrocytosis and in 1 large family with typical VHL disease but without any alteration in the other VHL exons. Whole blood was isolated from patients and sequenced using sanger sequencing and whole-genome sequencing performed at the clinically accredited Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory at the John Radcliffe Hospital using the Hi-Sequation 4000 platform (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) in high-throughput mode. As well, paired-end sequencing was carried out in a single lane on the HiSeq 2500 system (Illumina).In this study, the authors show that the mutations in E1' induced dysregulation of VHL splicing with excessive retention of E1' and were associated with a downregulation of VHL protein expression. Three patients were found with both the c.598C>T germline VHL mutation and the c.340+770T>C mutation resulting in p.Ser179Pro mutation on potential X1 protein encoded by E1' exon. In family 2, II.1 was the only person who had both of these mutations. In family 3, brothers II.1 and II.2 had these two mutations. Biological material from the parents of these three children were not available but chuvash core haplotype analysis demonstrated that all patients were compound heterozygous with one mutation being inherited from each parent. All three cases described above had erythrocytosis.

This patient was diagnosed with erythrocytosis, deep vein thrombosis, intracerebral hemorrhage at age 7 (DOB: 1990). This patient's asymptomatic mother was also genetically tested and found to have the germline c.340+694_340+711dup variant of the VHL gene. Her father was not tested but is assumed to carry the R200W (c.598C>T) germline variant in VHL.

    1. Germline mutations in 45 unrelated Japanese VHL patients were determined from blood samples using PCR-SSCP or Southern blot analyses. The authors reported a nucleotide deletion (i.e. 452delG) which coincides with legacy variant nomenclature (AF010238.1) and was mapped to c.239del (NM_000551.3). PCR-SSCP or Southern blot analyses of the DNA from family members showed that mutations were segregated with disease phenotype in VHL families, although this data was not shown. Data on the presence of retinal angioma, CNS hemangioblastoma (Hb) renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and pheochromocytoma was available. Case 22 had p.Ser80Ilelfs*79 (c.239del) mutation. One member was affected with retinal capillary hemangioma and hemangioblastoma. Other demographics of the members were not described.

      Seventeen patients (age range 3–73) with VHL, including 12 probands and 5 relatives, that were observed between 2005 and 2020 were recruited for a retrospective analysis in relation to pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs). A total of 13/17 patients had PanNETs. In 4 patients, PanNETs were found at VHL diagnosis and in 9 patients they were found during follow-up after a median time of 12 years. Six of these patients underwent surgery and seven were conservatively treated. Four of these patients had lymph node metastases and a tumordiameter significantly larger than the nonmetastatic PanNETs. Five patients who underwent surgery had stable disease after a 3 year follow up, while one patient showed liver metastases. Similarly, six non-resected PanNETs were stable after a 2 year, while one patient developed a novel small PanNET and slight growth of the pre-existing PanNET. Genomic DNA from blood was extracted and high-coverage sequencing for VHL gene was performed using an AmpliSeq custom panel that targets all exons, as well as intron–exon junctions of genes that are frequently mutated in PanNETs (VHL; RET; MEN1). A total of nine different VHL mutations were identified. Three patients were found to be de novo, but authors did not specify who. This proband (Patient 9) presenting with Renal Cell Carcinoma, pancreatic cyst, kidney cyst and no PanNET was found to have a germline nonsense variant R161*(c.481C>T) in exon 3 of the VHL gene.

    4. Molecular and clinical analysis of 126 French VHL families tested for renal involvement revealed 92 different mutations. 90 of these families had renal involvement. The p.L178_D179insRVKPEL (c.531_532insCTGAGAGTAAAGCCTGAA) germline variant of the VHL gene was detected in a family (ID 31). Member 2656 had unknown renal involvement. Members 2511, 4325, 2744 and 2668 presented with mild renal disease (RCC). Members 2588, 2746 and 4630 presented with moderate renal disease (RCC). Members 2060 and 2279 presented with severe renal disease (RCC). The paper states that this family is previously reported in PMID 9829912.

    1. An 11-year-old female was admitted with complaints of episodes of headache, sweating, palpitation along with history of vomiting, and blurring vision; and examination revealed tachycardia, hypertension (230/130 mmHg). Subsequent evaluation revealed elevated NMN (2959 μg/ml). CECT revealed a right adrenal mass 3 × 3 cm and hence she was provisionally diagnosed as a case of right PCC with probability of MEN 2A or VHL in view of young age. However, there was no family history and no evidence of medullary thyroid cancer or HPT in her or her siblings. She underwent laparoscopic right adrenalectomy after adequate alpha blockade. HPE confirmed PCC without hyperplasia of normal adrenal tissue. She was subsequently followed up. She then presented 6 years later with history of paroxysms and one episode of hypertension. On examination her blood pressure was found to be 180/110 on standing and 150/110 on lying down. Her UNMN was 6,620 μg/ml at 24 h (0–600). PET CT revealed a 5.8 × 5.5 cm left adrenal PCC. She was then put on alpha blockade and underwent a left laparoscopic adrenalectomy under steroid cover. Postop period was uneventful and HPE revealed PCC without adrenal hyperplasia. Her postoperative UMN returned to normal levels. She was discharged on and is doing well in follow-up. It was also found that her cousin had undergone bilateral adrenalectomy with us (case 2) during her period of follow-up and he was found to be having a positive VHL gene mutation; hence she was also tested for VHL mutation and was found to be harboring VHL gene mutation also.

      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 delins (c.393_394delinsA) mutation was found in two VHL type 1 family members (family no. 26). Both had retinal hemangioblastomas, one had renal cysts and one had pancreatic cysts.

    2. 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.499C>T) was found in 12 families with 58 affected members: 36 had retinal angioma, 18 had cerebellar hemangioblastoma, 15 had renal cell carcinoma, 31 had pheochromocytoma.

    3. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds 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. Southern blot and/or MLPA analysis by whole blood detected this mutation. R113FS (c.337del) was found in a patient with retinal hemangioblastomas diagnosed at age 28Y.

A missense mutation (c.346C>G), affecting residue with pVHL protein core, was detected in a VHL type 1 family with 3 affected individuals. All 3 patients had retinal angioma.

    5. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds 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. Southern blot and/or MLPA analysis by whole blood detected this nonsense mutation (Q73*) was found in 3 VHL families with 9 patients altogether. Seven had retinal hemangioblastomas, 3 had cerebellar hemangioblastomas, and 5 had renal cell carcinoma.

    1. DNA sequencing revealed the 3 living affected members (II:1, III:1, III:2) in the family harbored a novel heterozygous missense mutation. The nucleotide transversion (c.349 T > A) within exon 2 in VHL gene resulted in a change of tryptophan to arginine (W117R).

      A novel heterozygous mutation (c.349 T > A, p.W117R) was detected in affected family members of a chinese family. No mutation was detected in unaffected family members or in the 150 normal controls. The mutation segregated with the disease phenotype throughout three generations. Case II:1 (the proband) was a 32 year old female who complained of blurred vision for the past 2 years in her left eye. Fundus examinations showed several retinal hemangioblastomas in the temporal area of the left eye. The patient had previously undergone the operation for cerebellar hemangioblastoma 3 years prior. Case III:1 (the proband’s son) was an asymptomatic 6-year-old male, who was found to have a small hemangioblastoma in the distant peripheral retina of his right eye. Case III:2 (the proband’s daughter) was a 12 year old female who complained of a curtain coming across the vision in her left eye during the screening examination. Fundus examinations revealed a small hemangioblastoma in the infratemporal region of the peripheral retina in her right eye. A sizeable hemangioblastoma with 2.5 papilla diameters and prominant feeder vessels were detected in the inferior peripheral retina of her left eye. Case I:2 (the proband’s mother) had blindness in one eye and died of renal carcinoma, genetic testing was not preformed on this patient. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using a DNA extraction kit (TIANGEN). Genomic DNA from all available family members were obtained for PCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Sites of variation were identified through a comparison of DNA sequences with the corresponding GenBank reference sequences.

    1. an A/G transition in the exon 1B of the VHL gene. This base change determines an asparagine substitution with a serine at codon 446 of the protein.

      This paper presented 2 cases of VHL syndrome presented simultaneously in twins. Molecular studies were performed for all subjects of the family. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood. Mutation was detected though southern blotting hybridization to radiolabelled VHLcDNA (g7 probe). DNA changes in VHL were only detected in the twins, suggesting a de novo missense mutation in the exon 1B of VHL gene N78S (c.233A>G) (This mutation was labelled as a/G transition at codon 446 in the paper.) Case 1 (III.2) was a 16Y M who presented with right cerebellar hemangioblastoma, medullary and spinal cord solid tumors. Case 2 (III.3) was a 16Y M who presented with right cerebellar hemagioblastoma and nasal pharygeal bleeding fibroangioma.

      Twelve patients with hereditary non-SDHx head and neck paragangliomas were analyzed. Eleven of the 12 patients were found to carry germline mutations in the VHL gene. Blood was used for molecular genetic analyses and the NM_000551.2 reference sequence was used. The paper includes 3 additional VHL patients: case 22, 23, 27. Case 24 is a 24Y female who was found to harbour the p.T152I (c.455C>T) mutation of the VHL gene. The variant was written in paper under p.Tyr152Ile. This is incorrect however is paired to a paper where this variant it described (PMID: 18031321) referenced Thr152Ile, so this mutation was deduced. She presented with a a carotid body (paraganglioma), with no other details. A negative family history was described.

      A cohort of 141 patients with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system was analyzed. 81 patients had germline mutations in the VHL gene, analyzed through peripheral blood by Southern blotting and SSCP analysis. This missense mutation (c.533T>C) was recorded in the paper as c.746T>C due to a difference in transcript sequence. It was found in one patient with a hemangioblastoma of the central nervous system. Any family information is unknown. No other phenotypes described.

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 P61= (c.183C>G) synonymous germline mutation of the VHL gene was found in a 58-year-old VHL patient with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system (index case 52).

    1. The proband (III-4) was a 28-year-old male who consulted because of a history of VHL disease in his family. The mother (II-1) developed cerebellar, medullar and bilateral retinal HBs; two maternal aunts (II-2 and II-3) were affected by retinal and CNS HBs and unspecified renal tumours, whereas his grandfather (I-2) had unspecified abdominal tumours. All these relatives died in their early 30s (Table 1). Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of brain and spine was performed in this subject demonstrating cerebellar HB. Ophthalmologic examination revealed VA of 6/6 in both eyes, and IOP of 14 mmHg in the right eye and of 18 mmHg in the left eye. No anomalies were found at biomicroscopic inspection; funduscopic evaluation of the right eye showed a well defined orange-red mass corresponding to a peripheral retinal HB of approximately 1 disc diameter associated with a prominent feeding artery and to a draining vein. FAG demonstrated hyperfluorescence of this retinal angioma as well as enlargement and tortuosity of retinal blood vessels.

A mutation-carrier nephew (IV-2) presented only atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. All of these family members were found to have the R82P (c.245G>C) germline VHL variant. Eighteen additional healthy relatives were analyzed and tested negative for the mutation.

      CohortInfo: Two families and one apparently non-familial case were studied at the Institute of Ophthalmology ‘Conde de Valenciana’ (Mexico City, Mexico).

    1. c.446A>C (N78T)

      Eleven RCCs and 16 renal cysts from eight patients with VHL were analyzed. All patients had known germline VHL mutations. One male patient had a germline missense mutation (c.233A>C; p.N78T) in the VHL gene and presented with bilateral RCC and cysts, CNS hemangioblastoma, and pancreatic cysts. Family history was not described for the patient.

    1. c.358A > G

      All patients included in the study were VHL mutation carriers of 18 years or older examined between 1972 and 2012 in the VHL expertise centers University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) and University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU). Clinical data of 75 VHL mutation carriers were retrospectively retrieved from electronic and written patient record. Of these patients, one was found to harbour the c.358A>G germline mutation of the VHL gene. They presented with a spinal hemangioblastoma. Their age at the last follow-up was 15. Previously published in: PMID 24132471.

    1. 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 nonsense variant p.S65*(c.194C>A) was identified in patient #5. This mutation was noted as c.407C>A in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used (see Table S2).

    1. H125Y – previously unreported – was associated with the presence of a right pneumogastric nerve PGL diagnosed at 49 years.

      112 unrelated patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma were screened for mutations in the VHL gene, as well as the SDHx related genes (SDHD, SDHB, SDHC). Mutation analysis was performed on patient blood samples: DNA was extracted using a DNA purification kit (Gentra), exon-intron boundaries of the VHL gene were amplified by PCR, mutation screening was performed by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and heteroduplex analysis, or by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) analysis (WAVE 3500 HT system (Transgenomic, Inc., Omaha, NE, USA)) with confirmatory sequencing on CEQ2000 capillary sequencer (Beckman Coulter). Two patients without features suggestive of VHL syndrome were found to have germline VHL mutations. The second patient was associated with the presence of a right pneumogastric nerve paraganglioma diagnosed at 49 years, and was found to have a germline p.His125Tyr mutation. Only the amino acid change was given in the paper, the nucleotide change was not specified in the paper, inferred change is c.373G>A (H125Y).

    2. 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 family of 6 individuals (Family ID 3770), using PCR and SSCP sequencing. The mutation of c.556G>T was referred to in the paper by c.769G>T due to a difference in transcript sequence. All 6 individuals were identified with CNS hemangioblastomas, 4 with retinal hemangioblastomas, and 5 with renal cell carcinoma. Supporting evidence of pathogenicity because of the introduction of an early stop codon in a gene where loss of function is an established mechanism of disease (ACMG code: PVS1).

    3. In a study of 114 unrelated VHL families, 85 germline mutations were found.

      150 index patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma were evaluated. Phenotypic data were collected and germline mutations in five susceptibility genes (RET, VHL, SDHB, SDHD and SDHC) were tested. Out of 30 patients with familial presentation, 13 were clinically diagnosed as VHL syndrome. A 20 year old Asian Indian female presented with bilateral pheochromocytoma with pancreatic cysts. Using PCR and Sanger sequencing through peripheral blood, genetic testing confirmed a mutation at c.588_588dupA of the VHL gene. Family history is positive.

      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) 14, two individuals were suspected of VHL disease and mutational analysis revealed a R64P(c.191G>C) missense variant. Both individuals from this family did not develop RH.

    1. missense mutations

      In a study of 138 unrelated VHL families, 109 germline mutations were found. Missense mutations were more frequently found in families with pheochromocytoma (PC). Deletions, nonsense, and frameshift mutations were more frequently found in families without PC. Large deletions and mutations predicted to cause truncated protein were associated with lower risk of PC. The mutation of N78S (c.233A>G) was referred to in the paper by c.446A>G due to a difference in transcript sequence. This missense mutation was found in a VHL family (family ID 160). No phenotype provided.

    1. Germline mutations were found in twenty VHL probands and their families, of whom 17 presented with a family history (15 from Brazil, one from Portugal, and one from Ecuador) . An intronic variant, c.340+7G>A, (reported as IVS1+7G>A in the paper) was found in 2 affected family members that both presented with with hemangioblastomas of the CNS. They were able to analyze the germline mutation linkage to disease in this family. The pathogenic nature of the variant was not confirmed at the mRNA level; however, the fact that this alteration was not detected in one unaffected first degree relative (after clinical and radiological screening) suggests that it may be associated with the disease. Additionally, the reported novel mutation were not represented in 120 alleles from normal subjects in the Brazilian population suggesting that these base changes are not common polymorphisms.

    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.

      Among patients prospectively followed by the members of the French VHL Study Group, 35 consecutive patients with well-documented endocrine pancreatic tumour (20 women and 15 men; median age,37 [21Y-57] years) were included. The data from 7 patients with EPT have been partially reported previously in Hammel et al., 1995;2000. All 35 patients had VHL germline mutations and were assessed for the presence of pheochromocytoma and renal cancer in addition to pancreatic tumours. The presence of other phenotypes was not described. Patient No. 1 from Family 81 was found with a c.509T>G germline missense mutation and a pancreatic endocrine tumour. A second patient, was also found with this mutation: Patient No. 9 from family 81, and presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour and pheochromcytoma. Both the patient's phenotype is highly specific to VHL disease (PP4) and disease-causing missense variants are common in VHL disease (PP2).

    2. 21 missense mutations

      Among patients prospectively followed by the members of the French VHL Study Group, 35 consecutive patients with well-documented endocrine pancreatic tumour (20 women and 15 men; median age,37 [21Y-57] years) were included. All 35 patients had VHL germline mutations and were assessed for the presence of pheochromocytoma and renal carcinoma in addition to pancreatic tumours. The presence of other phenotypes was not described. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes and mutations were detected using direct sequencing of the 3 exons of VHL and/or southern blot analysis. A germline missense mutation (c.256C>T) was found in 3 patients, 2 of which were related. Patient No 7 from family 503 presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour, pheochromocytoma, and renal carcinoma and patient No 15 from family 503 presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour. Their familial relation was not described. Patient No. 27 from family 11 also had the same mutation and presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour, pheochromocytoma, and renal carcinoma. The patients' phenotypes are highly specific to VHL disease (ACMG PP4).

    1. c.216delC

      Thirty-two surgically resected HB specimens from 28 patients treated at the University of Tokyo Hospital between 1995 and 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Of the 32 specimens, 11 were VHL-related HBs from 7 patients. Two brothers identified as hemangioblastoma patients were confirmed with a germline c.216delC deletion in the VHL gene. Identical single base-pair deletions were found in 3 hemangioblastomas from these 2 patients with VHL disease from the same family, indicating that this small frameshift deletion was a germline mutation. One brother had hemangioblastoma in the cerebellum at 22Y and then again at 24Y, and the 30Y brother had a hemangioblastoma in the brainstem. No other phenotypic information was available.

    1. The patient was a 40 year old Caucasian male with a germline mutation c.257C>T (stated as c.470C>T in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference) in the VHL gene. The patient presented with renal cell carcinoma, papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis, renal cyst, pancreatic cysts, and hypertension for three years. He had a significant family history of cancer. His father died of renal cell carcinoma at 49, while his brother had a spinal hemangioblastoma that was removed at 19 years of age. His mother had uterine cancer and his paternal grandmother died from pancreatic cancer at age 92. His paternal grandfather died at age 52 from lung cancer and the paternal grandfather's nephew has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. His brother and brother's son were confirmed to have the same VHL gene mutation. The brother presented with spinal hemangioblastoma at age 19 and the son was asymptomatic. However, his mother and twin brothers did not carry the same mutation. The mutation was identified through polymerase chain reaction and direct sequence analysis. Genetic evaluation was performed at The Genetic Diagnostic Laboratory and University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

      A case describes a 22Y male presenting with a believed novel sporadic mutation labeled as 'NT474INST' by the authors (c.474insT resulting in a frameshift mutation). He complained of a shadow in his right eye and was diagnosed with retinal detachment secondary to a retinal hemangioblastoma. MRI of the brain revealed a hyper vascular lesion in the medulla and a smaller lesion at the medullary-spinal cord junction. Weighted abdominal MRI revealed innumerable pancreatic cysts and multiple benign-appearing renal cysts. He also presented with an epididymal cyst. After surgical resection of the retinal hemangioblastoma, the patient remained asymptomatic. The patient has a no family history of VHL but family genotype is not described.

    1. WM01 VHL MAX-Like 0.46 

      Of 38 PPGL (pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma) cases studied, two were associated with an individual carrying the germline mutation c.308C>A (ENSP00000256474.2 p.Pro103His) of the VHL gene. This mutation was identified using germline clinical sequencing on fresh and formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue and confirmed with sanger sequencing. The authors identified the reference sequence used as NM_000551.3. The first patient (ID: WM01) presented with pheochromocytoma said to be MAX-Like (7yo), and the second (ID: WM04) with a pheochromocytoma (13yo). No family history, or relation, was presented.

    1. Here, we report imaging findings in a VHL patient and in 3 consecutive family members undergoing clinical and radiological screening that included [111ln-DTPA0] octreotide scintigraphy in addition to the above-mentioned procedures.

    1. 1 splice‐site mutation

      Analysis of peripheral blood samples from 5 Japanese families with PCR and SSCP revealed 4 germline mutations. This splice site mutation NM_000551.3:c.464-1G>T was found in a family of 10 individuals. Please note that the paper states the mutation as c.464-1G>T because it uses a legacy reference sequence. Three VHL patients were identified with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and retinal angiomas (family C). The eldest patient also had renal cell carcinoma (listed as C-1 in publication).

      Seven Hungarian families (35 members) with VHL and 37 unrelated patients with apparently sporadic pheochromocytoma had their VHL gene molecularly analyzed. Peripheral blood samples were isolated, amplified by PCR, and subsequently underwent direct sequencing using either SequiTherm Excel II DNA Sequencing Kit-LC (Epicentre Technologies, Madison, WI, USA) and an automated Li-COR IR2 sequencer (Li-COR Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA) or the Big Dye Terminator Cycle Sequencing kit v3.1 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA), and run on an automated sequencer 310 Genetic Analyzer from Applied Biosystems.The missense mutation, c.500G>A, was found in family F and was molecularly confirmed in 2 family members. The proband was a 27 year old man who presented with retinal hemangiomas, unilateral pheochromocytoma, and horseshoe kidneys. The mother of the proband was also confirmed to have the VHL mutation and was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma at age 49.

    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. Due to recurrent hemangioblastomas, a29-year-old patient without familial history of VHL disease was diagnosed to be at risk for the disease. Histopathological examination of a small renal mass identified a clear cell tumor with a G1 grading. Genetic characterization of the germline and of the renal tumor was performed. Polymerase chain reaction/single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR/SSCP) analysis with primers from the VHL gene identified a deletion of a single nucleotide in exon 2 in the patient's germline and in the tumor, but not in the DNA of his parents. This deletion therefore must be a de novo mutation. Comparative genome hybridization (CGH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of the G1 tumor with differentially labelled yeast artifical chromosome (YAC) clones showed loss of 3p and of the 3p26 signals, respectively. In conclusion, we identified a de novo germline mutation in the VHL gene of a young patient and a somatic chromosome 3p loss at the homologous chromosome 3 in his renal tumor. Our results suggest a recessive mode of inactivation of the VHL gene, providing solid evidence for its tumor-suppressor gene characteristics. Our data show the diagnostic potential of genetic testing, especially in patients without VHL family history. Furthermore, the findings of homozygous inactivation of the VHL gene in a G1 tumor support the notion that the inactivation of the VHL gene is an early event in tumorigenesis of renal cell carcinoma.

      VariantEvidence: Sequencing revealed one nucleotide was deleted from the pentameric thymidines nucleotides 653–657 of exon 2 of the VHL gene, predicted to result in a stop codon, in both constitutional blood and tumor samples. All other family members tested, including his 34-year-old sister, did not show any alteration of the gene, either by SSCP analysis or by sequencing. Based on the description of the pentameric thimidines at 653-657, it was concluded that the authors reported the variant according to legacy nomenclature (AF010238.1). This was mapped to p.Phe148Leufs*11 (c.444del) according to the reference sequence NM_000551.3. Homozygous inactivation of the VHL gene in a G1 tumor support the notion that the inactivation of the VHL gene is an early event in tumorigenesis of renal cell carcinoma.

      3 unrelated patients with unexpected or non-syndromic phenotypes, accompanied by a VHL component tumor received germline gene panel testing as part of the PROACTIVE study at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, each detected with a low penetrant variant. At age 72, patient 2 (female) presented to genetics due to personal of cervical cancer at age 41, which was treated surgically, as well as due to family history of cancer. Her mother and maternal grandmother had colon cancer, while her uncle and cousin on the maternal side had prostate cancer. At age 79, she was diagnosed with high-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma, as well as metastasis in a right supraclavicular lymph node. Her treatment included neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radical cystectomy, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Somatic testing of the lymph node revealed several variants and and copy number alterations. As part of the PROACTIVE study, peripheral blood was collected. The germline panel of 133 genes (including MAX/NF1/RET/SDHA SHDB/SHDC/SDHD/SDHAF2/TMEM127) revealed a heterozygous germline VHL p.Tyr98His(c.292T>C) variant, along with other somatic VUS variants in other genes. Patient 2 died from cancer at age 82, a few months after receiving her genetic results. ACMG: PP4

    3. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations using SSCP analysis of PCR products by peripheral blood. This missense mutation was found in a German, VHL type 2B family. Only one patient was identified with retinal angiomas, hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, pheochromocytoma, renal cysts, and renal cell carcinoma. The R161G (c.481C>G) mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by c.694C>G due to a difference in transcript sequence. This patient's phenotype is highly specific for a disease with a single etiology (ACMG code: PP4).

    4. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations using SSCP analysis of PCR products by peripheral blood. This mutation was found in 2 German, VHL type 1, family members with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, renal cell carcinoma, renal cysts, and pancreatic cysts. Hepatic adenomas were also listed as an additional complication (family VHL 44). The L129fs (c.384delT) mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by c.597delT due to a difference in transcript sequence. This study contains very strong evidence of pathogenicity in the form of a frameshift variant in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (ACMG code: PVS1).

    1. c.533T>G p.Leu178Arg

      During the period from 2009 to 2012, 39 families with VHL disease were diagnosed with hereditary VHL disease at Peking University First Hospital Department of Urology were described as part of a broader study examining telomere length and anticipation. In these families, 19 families had two or more than two patients in two or more than two generations, including one family with obscure onset age. Therefore, a total of 57 patients with VHL disease from 18 families were enrolled in this study. Using peripheral blood and southern blotting, DNA sequencing was completed on the following patients. Family 10 involved two individuals with a c.533T>G mutation leading to a p.Leu178Arg change. The first individual, proband 10, a male, presented with hemangioblastoma at 38, retinal capillary hemangioma at 57, renal cell carcinoma at 57, and pancreatic cysts at 57. The second individual, the proband’s son, presented with renal cell carcinoma at 30. ACMG Evidence Code: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes and family histories are highly specific for VHL disease.

    1. 93 families examined at the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD) underwent genetic testing for germline mutations of the VHL gene. Whole blood was extracted and genomic DNA was amplified by PCR and products were sequences using a cycle sequencing kit with dye-labeled terminators and automatically sequenced. This missense mutation was found in a VHL type 1 family (lineage 128). The variant was reported as c.470C>G (AF010238.1) and was mapped to P86R (c.257C>G) (NM_000551.3).

    1. We studied six patients with VHL disease and their relatives. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was determined by five flanking microsatellite polymorphic markers in the VHL locus.

    1. 601 G to C (Val130Phe) mutation

      14 Chinese patients from 10 families were diagnosed with Von Hippel-Lindau disease based on clinical criteria. Genetic testing using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) was conducted and aberrant bands were purified and sequenced. Patient 8, a single individual belonging to family IV was found to harbour a c.388G>T mutation in the VHL gene (stated as c.601G>T in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). They presented with hemangioblastoma a pancreatic tumor.

    1. Ninety-eight individuals were tested for VHL mutations--23 symptomatic and 75 asymptomatic individuals belonging to 16 families. Seven of the families had definite clinical criteria of VHL disease, five had sporadic hemangioblastoma, and four had CNS hemangioblastoma combined with minor visceral signs. Molecular genetic testing identified five germline mutations in six of the definite VHL families (sensitivity 85%), but none in the possible VHL and sporadic hemangioblastoma cases; four of these mutations had been previously described and one is a novel mutation present in two unrelated families. After patients carrying the mutation were identified, they underwent clinical screening and asymptomatic VHL-related lesions were identified in 43%.

    1. We present the case of a 22-year-old woman who was diagnosed in childhood with type IIb VHL, with known multiple retinal angiomas, pancreatic cysts, and spinal and cerebellar hemangioblastomas. She was admitted to our hospital complaining of progressive dyspnea and palpitations. On examination, her blood pressure was 159/119 mm Hg and her pulse was 123 bpm. Physical examination revealed a systolic murmur at the mitral focus with irradiation to the axilla and pulmonary rales. Electrocardiography revealed no remarkable findings, except for sinus tachycardia. Laboratory tests showed an elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and chest X-ray showed signs of pulmonary interstitial edema. The patient was admitted to the Department of Cardiology with the diagnosis of acute decompensated heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a dilated left ventricle with severely depressed ejection fraction due to generalized hypokinesia and a mild mitral regurgitation (fig. ​(fig.1a).1a). During admission, the patient had several episodes of paroxysmal dyspnea despite treatment with β-blockers and diuretics. Due to the clinical suspicion of adrenal gland disease, 24-hour urinary catecholamine and metanephrine tests were requested. Cardiac MRI was performed in order to complete the cardiomyopathy study, and confirmed the echocardiographic findings as well as revealed an incidental finding of a great left renal mass. The 24-hour urine laboratory tests showed markedly elevated levels of norepinephrine, total catecholamines, normetanephrine and metanephrine with normal epinephrine values: 24-hour norepinephrine 468 μg (normal range: 23-105), 24-hour epinephrine 13 μg (normal range: 4-20), 24-hour total catecholamines 658 μg (normal range: 217-575), 24-hour normetanephrine 2,988 μg (normal range: 105-354), 24-hour total metanephrine 3,013 μg (normal range: 0-1,000). Therefore, an abdominal MRI was performed, which showed the presence of two cystic masses (fig. ​(fig.2)2) located at the left hypochondrium. Surgical resection of both masses was performed (after α-blockade with phenoxybenzamine and β-blockade with propranolol) through a laparoscopic approach, confirming the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and clear cell renal carcinoma on histology. During follow-up, blood pressure and heart rate values normalized (124/77 mm Hg, 78 bpm), 24-hour urinary catecholamine values returned to normal range (norepinephrine 69 μg/24 h, total catecholamine 221 μg/24 h, normetanephrine 202 μg/24 h and total metanephrine 259 μg/24 h) and the patient had no new episodes of palpitations or dyspnea. Six months after surgical resection, echocardiography was repeated and showed a left ventricle with normal diameters and preserved ejection fraction (fig. ​(fig.1b).1b). Genetic analysis revealed a germline mutation (exon 3 deletion) of the VHL tumor suppressor gene on the short arm of chromosome 3. As the patient had no family history of VHL, it was concluded that it was a de novo mutation.
