      This study shows the clinical characteristics of three large Chinese families with VHL disease and evaluates the consequence of the genetic test for the diagnosis of VHL disease and clinical screening of the family members. DNA is extracted from peripheral blood in 43 members from three large families with VHL disease and amplified by PCR to three exons of the VHL gene. The PCR products were directly sequenced and the mutations compared with the Human Gene Mutation Database. The ages of the patients who are given the initial diagnosis ranged from 16 to 47 years (mean: 31 years), and the mean time was 17.3 months (2-30 months) from the emergence of the symptom to patients' first visit. Furthermore, the gender distribution was 20% female (4) and 80% male (16). VHL phenotypes of the disease is seen in 8 members of a Chinese family. Molecular diagnosis is confirmed in only 3 family members, as 5 died prior to genetic testing. These 5 could be assumed due to pedigree showing future linear relations of this mutation. The mutation p.L116V (c.346C>G) was referred to in the paper by c.559C>G due to a difference in transcript sequence. Manifestations in this family include CNS hemangioblastoma, and renal cysts. The proband (female) had renal cysts and hemangioblastoma, and 2 of her brothers and their 3 children (2 male; 1 female) had hemangioblastomas. The clinical manifestations were characterized by early morbidity, rapid progress, high relapse rate, and high mortality rate. There are two members who are asymptomatic, but they are young (likely before the age of onset). ACMG evidence codes: 'PP1' based on segregation results, 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in gene where missense variants are common mechanism of disease, 'PP4' because the patients phenotypes and family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

    2. Meanwhile, it was also found that the guanine replaced the 559th cytosine on one patient and two carriers from the third family, which made the 116th leucine replaced by valine.

    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). The c.224_226del (p.F76del) in-frame deletion (noted as c.440delTCT (p.F147del) in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used) was found in at least one patient in kindred no.48, and kindred no. 75. The affected patient(s) in both kindreds had VHL type 1 (no pheochromocytoma). Pheochromocytoma was not observed in any members of either kindred. ACMG evidence codes: none.

    1. A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for further evaluation of a left RCC that had been found during a routine checkup. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed multiple, small tumors (≤10 mm in diameter) in the head of the pancreas as well as a left renal mass, measuring 8×7×6 cm in size (Fig. 1a). Selective abdominal angiography (via the celiac and supramesenteric arteries) disclosed numerous small tumor stains in the pancreatic head (Fig. 1b). Multiple pancreatic metastases from the left RCC were first suspected. Pancreatic microadenomatosis of MEN1 syndrome was also suggested, but no other lesions related to this syndrome (such as pituitary adenoma, parathyroid adenoma, or adrenocortical tumor) were observed. This patient had no clinical symptoms of inappropriate pancreatic hormone secretions such as insulin, glucagon, and gastrin.

      A study of 34 Polish families revealed germline mutations in 30 families using DNA isolated from peripheral blood luykocytes to sequence through PCR and Quantitative Southern analysis. Mutations were not detected in 4 probands fulfilling clinical criteria for von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD). This mutation was found in a VHL patient and 2 additional families. The patient had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and retina (family no. 6). In a family with two affected family members, 2 had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and 1 had retinal hemangioblastomas (family no. 7). A VHL family of 3 had 2 with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and 3 with retinal hemangioblastomas (family no. 5). Two members were published in a future publication: PMID: 32179488.

The VHL gene product (pVHL) has two macromolecular sites, α and β domains, which can bind different proteins. pVHL bound to elongin B, C/cullin/Rbx1 acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase and targets proteins for degradation.22 Similarly, hypoxia inducible proteins are regulated by complex pVHL/elongin B and C that requires direct binding of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) to the β domain and targets HIF for ubiquitination catalysed by the α domain.23 The VHL protein also plays a role in extracellular matrix formation and is necessary for cell cycle exit.24,25 Germline VHL mutations cause different protein defects that result in the clinical heterogeneity of VHL disease. VHL type 1 disease (without phaeochromocytoma) is associated with mutations predicted to cause complete unravelling of protein structure (missense mutations mapping to VHL protein hydrophobic core, protein truncating mutations, and partial gene deletions). VHL type 2 (with phaeochromocytoma) is caused by missense mutations which map to protein binding sites of pVHL and are predicted to cause local protein defects.22 Specific phaeochromocytoma associated missense mutations confer different risks of HAB and RCC, being responsible for the occurrence of subcategories VHL type 2A (VHL without RCC), 2B (VHL with RCC), and 2C (phaeochromocytoma only).15 Phenotypic expression of VHL disease is also influenced by genetic modifiers.26

    1. 2. Presentation of CaseA 17-year-old girl was referred to our department for the investigation of a newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus and a severe arterial hypertension. She was the first child of consanguineous parents. Her past medical history was unremarkable. Her family history was notable for type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia but no history of pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, unexplained sudden death, or condition that may lead to thinking about VHL disease was reported.As symptoms, the patient complained of headaches, palpitations, diaphoresis, and hot flashes since one month. She reported also asthenia and body weight loss of five kilograms in two weeks.On examination, she had a body weight of 50 kg, a body height of 154 cm, a body mass index of 21.1 kg/m2, a blood pressure of 200/100 mmHg without orthostatic hypotension, a regular pulse of 120 bpm, and a large abdominal café-au-lait spot (Figure 1). Thyroid, abdominal, and neurological examinations were normal.Open in a separate windowFigure 1A large abdominal café-au-lait spot.Twenty-four-hour blood pressure monitoring confirmed the diagnosis of hypertension and the presence of peaks of 230/110 mmHg. Electrocardiogram showed a sinus tachycardia. Capillary glucose level was 2.68 g/l without ketosis.Fundoscopy showed grade 3 hypertensive retinopathy without any other abnormalities.The results of biological investigations are shown in Table 1.Table 1Biological parameters before and after surgery. Before surgeryAfter surgeryReference rangesFasting glucose level (mmol/l)16.394.784.12–5.55Glycated hemoglobin (%)10.125.91≤5.6Total cholesterol (mmol/l)11.835.233.1–5.18Triglycerides (mmol/l)2.431.210.57–1.71Natremia (mmol/l)135140135–145Kalemia (mmol/l)3.343.6–5Creatinine (mg/L)664–13Calcium (mg/L)111.29888–105Phosphate (mg/L)443627–45Albumin (g/l)47.22—35–52Intact PTH∗ (μg/L)1825411–62TSH (mUI/L)0.625—0.12–3.4FT4 (ng/dl)1.31—0.71–1.85Calcitonin (ng/L)2.70—<10.0024 h-urine NMN (μg/24)315057030–60024 h-urine MN (μg/24)40.21220–34524 h-urine sodium (mmol/24 h)88.5— 24 h-urine potassium (mmol/24 h)60— 24 h-urine calcium (mg/24 h)200— 24 h-proteinuria (g/24)0.3—<0.3Open in a separate windowPTH: parathormone, TSH: thyroid stimulating hormone, FT4: free-T4, NMN: normetanephrines, MN: metanephrines. ∗The intact PTH dosage was made using 3rd generation chemiluminescence immunoassay.The diagnosis of clinically suspected pheochromocytoma was confirmed by the dosage of urinary methoxylated derivatives at 5 times the upper limit of normal. In addition, the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and primary hyperparathyroidism were made.The abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed two adrenal masses: the first on the right measuring 35 × 55 × 70 mm with a spontaneous density of 30 HU heterogeneously enhanced in the arterial time showing areas of necrosis with an absolute washout of 40%, the second on the left measuring 24 × 27 mm with the same characteristics as the first one (Figure 2). There were neither other localizations nor lymph nodes. Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy exhibited a high accumulation of the tracer in both adrenal tumors with no other localization.

Whole exome sequencing of the proband’s germline DNA was prepared using NimbleGen 44Mb SeqCap EZ Exome Kit v2, sequenced on a HiSeq 2000, and analyzed using filtering parameters previously reported (16), with the exception that synonymous variants of PHEO susceptibility genes were not excluded. Sanger sequencing of VHL from germline and tumor genomic DNA of affected and unaffected relatives was conducted as published (16). RNA was isolated from peripheral leukocytes and fresh frozen PHEO using TRIzol, according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. cDNA was generated as we previously reported (17). Sanger sequencing of leukocyte and tumor VHL cDNA was performed by amplification of VHL transcripts using primers spanning exon 1 and exon 2 (downstream of the c.414 variant) or exon 1 and exon 3 (primer sequences available upon request).

    1. Genetic screening and management The patient was investigated to determine if there was a genetic cause for her phaeochromocytoma. Neurofibromatosis type 1 was excluded on clinical grounds as she had none of the cutaneous features. Mutational analysis of the RET proto-oncogene was normal, making MEN2 unlikely. Sequencing of exons 1–3 of the VHL gene revealed a novel single base pair substitution (A268C). This replaces asparagine with histidine at codon 90 of VHL (N90H) and was not present in either parent. Another mutation at the same amino acid residue (N90I) has previously been reported in an individual with vHL disease,1 and in vitro studies indicate that this alters vHL function. Therefore, N90H is highly likely to be pathogenic.

      Tissue analysis from 61 VHL patients, 30 sporadic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumor samples, and 6 sporadic RCC cell lines revealed 22 variants within VHL patients, 10 variants in tumor samples and variants in all cell lines. All mutations cluster to the 3’ end of the VHL gene open reading frame, implicating this region as important for the tumor-suppressor function of the VHL protein. Northern blot, SSCP and RT-PCR analysis from normal tissue found a germline p.76delF (c.227_229delTTC) mutation, stated in the paper as c.437_439delF due to an older transcript. It was seen in two families: [pedigree No] 17 and 20, with an unknown number of members described as ‘VHL-affected’ with RCC. Other manifestations are possible but not clear.

    1. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes using DNA isolation kit for mammalian blood (Roche Diagnostics GmbH). Mutation analysis of splice sites and exons 1, 2, and 3 of the VHL gene was performed by using direct sequencing of DNA samples amplified by PCR. PCR amplifications were carried out using modified oligonucleotide primers (24), which covered the exon–intron boundaries. Sequence analysis was performed by direct cycle sequencing using the 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 by direct cycle sequencing using 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.In cases when direct sequencing failed to show VHL gene mutations, DNA samples were analyzed for germline deletion of the VHL gene. A nonsequence-specific real-time detection of PCR products was performed by using the DNA binding dye SYBR Green I, as described by Ponchel et al.

      ArticleReferenceSequence: Not specified- Assumption: Nucleotide change is not specified in the paper, only protein coding change is. cDNA variant was inferred based on protein coding change, and reported based on VHL reference sequence NM_000551.3

      GenotypingMethod: DNA samples amplified by PCR underwent direct sequencing using 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 by direct cycle sequencing using 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. In cases where direct sequencing failed to detect any VHL mutations, patients also underwent nonsequence-specific real-time detection of PCR products using the DNA binding dye SYBR Green I.

      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 (L135* (c.404T>A)) was taken from the National Cancer Institute database, and the Bristol Myers Squibb database. It had an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 3710NCI, reported in Table 3, as being found in VHL families without pheochromocytoma, and with renal cell carcinoma. Additionally, it was reported in table 5, specified as families without detailed clinical information, under family ID 8BMS. It was reported in the paper as c.617T>A due to a difference in transcript reference.

    1. 2. Materials and methods2.1. PatientThe 32-year-old male patient was admitted to Xiangya Hospital in 2006 and presented with progressive back and neck pain, and numbness and weakness of both legs which had continued for 1 month followed by fecal and urinary retention for 5 days. The MRI (1.5 Tesla) of the brain and entire spinal cord showed multiple lesions in the cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord, which were obviously enhanced and highly suggestive of hemangioblastomas (Fig. 1a–e). Subsequent evaluation, by MRI, of the abdomen revealed a solid kidney tumor (Fig. 1f). He underwent surgical resection for hemangioblastomas of T10 and T12 of the spinal cord, which appeared bright red at surgery. The pathological examination of the tissues showed many small blood vessels, most of which were a capillary plexus. Vascular endothelial cells were flat and distributed within a large number of stromal cells. Some of the vascular endothelial cells formed solid masses and cords. Between the capillary plexus, various forms of stromal cells were found, including nest-like or sheet arrangements with hyperchromatic nuclei, rich cytoplasm, rich lipid vacuoles and rare or no mitoses. Some foam cells and adipose-like cells were also found. Immunohistochemistry of the biopsied tissues from the lesions in the spinal cord were negative on immunostaining (–) for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), CD68, cytokinin (CK)-pan and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), but stained positive (+) for factor 8 related antigen (F8RAg). Vascular endothelial cells were F8RAg(+) but stromal cells were F8RAg(–). Vascular endothelial cells and stromal cells were all immunonegative for GFAP, EMA, CK-pan, and CD68 (Fig. 1g, h). The patients’ symptoms resolved after surgery. At 5-year follow-up his condition did not recur or deteriorate, but active surveillance was continued.12Download : Download high-res image (1MB)Download : Download full-size imageFig. 1.

His 66-year-old father and 63-year-old mother were both in good health without clinical symptoms of VHL. They did not undergo a whole-body examination, but all other family members underwent clinical examination, including ophthalmoscopy, MRI of the CNS, and ultrasonography of the abdomen, to exclude the disease. Informed consent was obtained from all individuals before their participation in the study.

    2. 2.2. DNA sequencingGenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes by standard extraction methods.2 Genomic DNA (50–100 ng) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in a standard PCR buffer containing 200 mM of each deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate (dNTP), 1.5 mM MgCl2, 0.25 units of Ex Taq™ DNA polymerase (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) and 0.2 mM of each primer. The PCR conditions were as follows: 95 °C for 5 min; 35 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s, 62 °C for 45 s and 72 °C for 1 min; and 72 °C for 10 min. PCR products were purified and sequenced with an automated DNA sequencer (ABI PRISM®3100, Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Exon 1 was amplified using two primer sets. Exons 2 and 3 were each amplified using one primer set. The primer pairs used for the amplification of the three exons and their flanking introns of the VHL gene are shown (Table 1).

    1. p.*214G

      17 patients with genetic variants in SDHB, VHL, EPAS1, or RET with pheochromocytoma were identified retroactively for this study. 5 pathogenic germline variants were confirmed in patients with clinical criteria of von Hippel Lindau syndrome. Next generation sequencing (NGS) re-confirmed these germline mutations. One of which was a p.*214G (c.640T>G) mutation in patient 6, a 46Y male with pheochromocytoma. No further manifestation details were provided, nor family information.

    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. 571insAC) which coincides with legacy variant nomenclature (AF010238.1) and was mapped to c.358_359insAC (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 14 had p.Arg120fs ( c.358insAC) mutation. 2 members were affected with renal cell carcinoma. Other demographics of the members were not described.

      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. There were 2 patients reported with the p.V74Sfs*85 (c.220del) mutation. Both members presented with retinal hemangiomas, while no other clinical manifestations were discussed. Additionally, no family information was provided.

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%.

      VariantEvidence: The modified amino acids are located in a domain common to all pVHL isoforms, the highly conserved cctbinding domain of the protein, involved in the formation of the pVHL elongin complex that is crucial for tumor suppression. Furthermore, the mutant protein is prematurely truncated and lacks the C-terminal half of exon 2 and exon 3 completely, which includes the nuclear export signal and the elongin C binding site of pVHL. Thus, this truncated protein would affect the two functional isoforms of pVHL: the major isoform pVHL30 and pVHL19, but not isoform 2, which lacks exon 2 but is not functional

    2. 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%.

      The 10 year old female patient presented with sustained hypertension, headaches, and vomiting for several weeks. She had no signs of hypertensive retinopathy or papilledema. However, in the right eye, a small, white-yellowish nodular lesion in the retinal periphery was found. Luoresceinangiography showed early and late leakage and marked hyperfluorescence compatible with retinal hemangioblastoma. A heterozygous mutation 488T>A (Leu163His) in exon 3 of the VHL gene was identified (methods unspecified). Subsequently, bilateral pheochromocytomas were found. After surgical resection of the pheochromocytomas the patient was asymptomatic. No family history was mentioned.

      A study of 103 patients with VHL retinal manifestations and 108 patients without VHL retinal manifestations extracted from the French VHL database revealed that the number of hemangioblastomas appeared higher in patients who had a substitution when compared with patients with a truncated protein. Detected by PCR and SSCP, this mutation was found in a 1 patient, without retinal hemangioblastomas, but other manifestations are not clearly stated. No family information or relation was provided.

    2. 2 small deletions leading to a frameshift

      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 carcinoma in addition to pancreatic tumours. The presence of other phenotypes was not described. Patient no. 20 from family 900 had a frameshift mutation in the VHL gene (c.284delC) and presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour. The patients' phenotypes are highly specific to VHL disease (PP4) and frameshift mutation supports PM4.

    1. Germline genotype analysisGenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using the QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germany). Three coding exons and their flanking intronic regions were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers as described previously [12]. Direct sequencing was used to detect missense and splicing mutations. Large exon deletions were detected using a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification kit (MLPA, P016-C2, MRC-Holland, Amsterdam) and confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR using the primers described by Ebenazer et al. [13]. All patients were divided into the following five groups: missense group, partial deletion group, large deletion group, frameshift group and splicing site mutation group.

      ArticleReferenceSequence: Not specified – Assumption: variants assumed to have been documented by the author under reference sequence NM_000551.3

      GenotypingMethod: realtime quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) was used to detect large deletions in the VHL gene. RQ-PCR assay was done using SYBR green master mix for detecting large deletions in the VHL gene.

      SamplingMethod: peripheral venous blood

    1. Of 16 patients presenting with clinical VHL features that underwent genetic testing, patient 1 presented with the c.203C>G mutation of the VHL gene (stated in the paper as c.416C>G which used the Latif sequence as reference). Peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected and products of the polymerase chain reaction performed on this sample were analyzed with single-stranded conformational polymorphism analysis (SSCP), PCR sequencing and Southern analysis. This missense mutation was confirmed using restriction fragment length polymorphism or allele-specific oligonucleotide analysis. This patient has a family history of multiple tumor types indicative of VHL disease but the family did not undergo genetic testing. This patient presented with a pheochromocytoma.

    2. Genomic DNA was extracted from 10 ml of peripheral blood using phenol-chloroform by standard procedures after separation of mononuclear cells and stored at 4°C. The three exons of the VHL gene were amplified by PCR in a total volume of 25 μl containing 50 ng of template DNA, 1 × PCR buffer (20 mmol/l Tris-HCl, 50 mmol/l KCl), 200 μmol/l each dNTP (Promega, USA), 1.5 mmol/l MgCl2, 0.25 units of Taq DNA polymerase (Gibco-BRL Life Technologies, USA), and 0.5 μmol/l each primer set. Primers used for the amplification of the coding region of the VHL gene were: 1F 5‘ CCATCCTCTACCGAGCGCGCG 3‘ and 1R 5‘ GGGCTTCAGACCGTGCTATCG 3‘ for exon 1, yielding a fragment of 522 bp; 2F 5‘ TGCCCAGCCACCGGTGTG 3‘ and 2R 5‘ GTCTATCCTGTACTTACCACAACA 3‘ for exon 2, 232 bp; and 3F 5‘ CACACTGCCACATACATGCACTC 3‘ and 3R 5‘ ACTCATCAGTACCATCAAAAGCTG 3‘ for exon 3, 383 bp. Reactions were incubated at 95°C for five minutes and amplified for 35 cycles of 95°C for one minute, 58°C for one minute (exons 2 and 3), or 68°C (exon 1) for one minute, and 72°C for one minute, with a final extension cycle of 72°C for five minutes. PCR products were sequenced in both strands with Big Dye terminators (Applied Biosystems) and sequences were collected and analysed on an ABI Prism 377 (Applied Biosystems). The same PCR primers were used in the sequencing reactions, with the exception of exon 3, which was sequenced in the sense direction with an internal primer 3I 5‘ CGTTCCTTGTACTGAGACCCT 3‘.

      Germline mutations were found in 20 Brazilian, VHL probands and their families. Peripheral blood samples were taken and genomic DNA was sequenced using PCR and Southern Blotting. The three exons of the VHL gene were amplified by PCR, sequenced in both strands with Big Dye terminators (Applied Biosystems), and collected and analysed on an ABI Prism 377 (Applied Biosystems). Germline rearrangements involving part or the entire VHL gene were detected by quantitative Southern blotting using g7 cDNA11 and a β globin probe. This mutation, H115Pfs*44 (c.344delA) , was found in a VHL type 1 family of 3 affected individuals (VHL family 9). This mutation caused a frameshift to occur leading to the protein terminating at residue 157. One had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, one with retinal angiomas, and one with renal carcinoma. Within this family a second mutation was also discovered in the VHL gene, P61= (183C>G), which was assumed to not be deleterious. ACMG codes as follows: A frameshift mutation in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1). Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease (PP1).

    1. Over time, DNA sequencing from blood of consenting family members condirmed the presence of a VHL variant in seven family members (three generations, all from maternal side) (Fig. 1).

    1. Case 3 (intradural tumor of T7 spinal nerve roots), which was first thought to be sporadic (non-familial) in 2001, was then re-classified as “HB-only VHLD” (form fruste of VHLD) after the patient’s sister, aged 53, was diagnosed with cerebellar HB (in the sister a germline point mutation and 2 somatic point mutations were found in the DNA of the cerebellar HB, and the case was included as case HB-25 in another study [28]). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a patient with “HB-only VHLD” having clinical expression outside CNS.

    1. Mutation screening by direct sequencing Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using Gentra Pure Gene DNA Isolation Kits (Gentra Systems, Inc. Minneapolis, MN). All exons of succinate dehydrogenase complex B (SDHB), SDHD, and VHL, and exons 10, 11, and 13–16 of the RET gene were examined by direct sequencing. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were performed using primers designed to flank the splice junctions of target exons. Amplified products were sequenced on an ABI 3730 analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA), using Bigdye Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kits. Sequences were analyzed using seqscape software (Applied Biosystems) and Mutation Surveyor (Softgenetics, State College, PA). Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification To screen for potentially large deletions or duplications, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was carried out using the SALSA P016-C2 VHL Kit (MRC Holland, Amsterdam, Holland) for VHL, SALSA P169-C1 HIRSCHSPRUNG-1 Kit for RET, and P226-C1 SDH Kit (MRC Holland) for SDHB and SDHD. PCR products were analyzed on an ABI 3100 analyzer using Genemarker v1.51 (Softgenetics). Peak heights were normalized, and a deletion or duplication was suspected when a normalized peak ratio was under 0.75 or above 1.30.

      Recently, Lenglet et al., 2018 identified a new VHL cryptic exon termed E1' deep in intron 1 that is naturally expressed in many tissues, and found E1' mutations in eight families with either erythrocytosis or VHL disease. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of E1' germline mutations from two cohorts, 221 patients with a single or multiple tumours, suggestive of VHL disease, and 946 patients with a Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) but without an identified mutation in the three VHL exons or in the main PPGL susceptibility genes. They identified a rare germline genetic variant (maf <1%) in the E1’ VHL cryptic exon in 1% of patients (12/1167). Patient 12 was diagnosed at the age of 34 due to Pheochromocytoma, and was found to have a rare germline c.340+866C>A E1' variant.

    1. In 1994, a 34-yr-old woman without personal and familial history for VHL was referred to the hospital because of persistent pharyngeal discomfort. MRI demonstrated a 4-cm tumor in the parapharyngeal space suggestive of a schwannoma or a carotid paraganglioma. The tumor was removed, and histology revealed a paraganglioma. Postoperatively, she had Horner’s syndrome and a transitory hypoglossal paresis. At age 46, bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma and a paraaortic paraganglioma were removed. Later, her niece was diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma, and her brother suffered from pheochromocytoma, renal cell carcinoma, and retinal hemangioblastomas. The proband’s mother was then found to have pheochromocytoma. Molecular analysis identified the VHL mutation p.Tyr98His.
