    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.

      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.

    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.

Pheochromocytoma, cerebellar, spinal and retinal hemangioblastomas, and various cysts were clinical manifestations of VHL seen throughout the family. This patient (IV-1) appears to have inherited this disease from his father, along with many of his siblings. See Fig. 1 for family pedigree.

    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.

The male proband (patient 60) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 25Y, retinal angioma at 25Y, renal cell carcinoma at 30Y, multiple pancreatic cysts or tumours at 30Y (mutation confirmed); son of unknown age (patient 61) with no manifestations (mutation confirmed); daughter of unknown age (patient 62) with no manifestations (mutation confirmed); father (patient 63) diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 35Y and retinal angioma at 35Y (passed away before diagnosis/ before mutation confirmed); Sister (patient 64) diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 24Y, and multiple pancreatic cysts or tumours at 31Y (passed away before diagnosis/ before mutation confirmed); aunt 1 (patient 65) diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 35Y; aunt 2 (patient 66) diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 20Y (passed away before diagnosis/ before mutation confirmed); aunt 3 diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 44Y (passed away before diagnosis/ before mutation confirmed); son of aunt 3 (patient 67) diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 26Y (mutation confirmed).This cohort 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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 337

      540 patients from 187 unrelated Chinese VHL families at the Peking University First Hospital were all screened for VHL clinical features and germline mutations. Of these, clinical characteristics were observed in 258 patients from 80 unrelated Chinese families. These were reported in this study, grouped by the 21 mutations found. PCR and MLPA on peripheral blood detected the VHL mutations. Possessing the p.R113* (c.337C>T) mutation, 6 members total from 2 families were described, and phenotypic information was given for this group. With ages ranging from 17-66Y, hemangioblastomas were observed in 3/6 members, retinal capillary hemangioma in 3, renal cell carcinoma in 3, pancreatic cysts in 2, and in a papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis genital system tumor (epididymis or broad ligament) 1 member.

    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.
