    1. Medical records of 26 patients with germline mutations of the VHL gene who had been diagnosed with VHL disease in Severance Hospital (Seoul, Republic of Korea) and Samsung Medical Center (Seoul, Republic of Korea) between 2003 and 2012 were respectively reviewed. Peripheral blood leukocytes were isolated and directly sequenced. One 17Y female patient (Patient 49) presented with multiple and/or bilateral renal cell carcinoma and central nervous system hemangioblastoma. She had a germline missense mutation in the VHL gene (c.586A>T; Lys196Stop). The patient had a positive family history of VHL disease and was diagnosed with VHL Type 1. Phenotypes revised from previous report (PMID 19270817).

    1. Conference object (Published version)

      This study examined the expression of hypoxia related genes in renal cell carcinoma. The authors analyzed the tumor and surrounding healthy tissue in 10 patients who had radical nephrectomy due to RCC. DNA was isolated from blood, tumor and surrounding healthy tissue for sequencing VHL gene. Only 1 patient had a hereditary form of RCC with a substitution of leucine to proline at position 25 (P25L) as a polymorphism of the VHL gene. ACMG: 'PP4' because the patient' phenotype is highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

    1. Medical records of 31 Asian Indian genetically proven VHL patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma were studied. A 42 year old male (Patient 20) presented with unilateral pheochromocytoma (42Y) and central nervous system hemangioblastoma (42Y). Genetic testing (PCR and Sanger sequencing) confirmed a non-familial missense mutation at c.487C>T of the VHL gene. He has a negative family history.

    1. Case 2This 10 year old girl presented with intermittent fever for the past one month. Her birth history was unremarkable. She was the fourth child of nonconsanguineous parents. Her family history was not significant for tumor occurrence. Physical examination revealed a blood pressure level of 160/100 mmHg (95p: 120/79 mmHg) and a heart rate of 110 beats per minute. Laboratory tests showed an elevated 24 h urinary VMA level of 83 mg/day. Abdominal MRI revealed a 44x33 mm, well circumscribed mass with a necrotic core in the left adrenal gland. Subtotal adrenalectomy was performed and histologic examination showed that the tumor was PCC. During two years of follow-up, a 20x19x12 mm mass was detected in the right adrenal gland on abdominal MRI. PET-computed tomography (CT) with 68Ga-DOTA‐DPhe1, Tyr3‐octreotate (68Ga- DOTATATE) showed increased uptake in the right adrenal gland and a 11x10 mm nodular lesion in the corpus of the pancreas (Figure 2). The tumoral masses in the adrenal gland and pancreas were removed. Histologic investigation of adrenal and pancreas specimens confirmed the diagnosis of PCC and PNET (World Health Organisation grade 3) respectively. One year later, an 8x7 mm lesion in the pancreas, compatible with recurrence, was observed on abdominal MRI and confirmed with 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET-CT. Splenectomy and subtotal pancreatectomy were performed for removal of the lesion. Histologic examination of the pancreatic lesion reported a neuroendocrine tumor. Bilateral PCC with PNET suggested the diagnosis of VHL disease. Molecular genetic analysis of the VHL gene revealed a heterozygous missense mutation c. 386 T>G (p.Leu129Pro) which has been previously described. No additional VHL tumor developed during three years follow up.

    1. c.340G>A

      Of 31 Brazilian patients, four presented with the c.340G>A (p.Gly114Ser) mutation of the VHL gene. Genomic DNA was extracted and all VHL coding regions were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. MLPA was performed to investigate large deletions using SALSA® MLPA® P016 VHL probe mix. Data analysis was performed with Genescan 3.7. Of these four patients, three were of the same family. Individual 1 of family 1, 38 years old, presented with paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, and pancreatic endocrine tumor. Individual 2 of family 1, age 20, had a history of sudoresis, headaches, and abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with hypertension. At 4 years old, a CT scan revealed a 5cm heterogenous mass in the right adrenal gland and he underwent a right nodulectomy. 3 years later, a bilateral recurrence was found (4cm right and 1.5cm left nodules) and he underwent a right-side adrenalectomy and a left-side nodulectomy. 13 years later he presented with a left-side reoccurance (1.3cm nodule) and elevated plasmatic normetanephrine levels. He underwent left-side adrenalectomy. He also presented with paraganglioma, pancreatic endocrine tumor (at 20Y) and CNS hemangioblastoma. Individual 3 of family 1, 26 years old, presented with paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, pancreatic endocrine tumor, renal cyst, CNS hemangioblastoma and retinal hemangioblastoma. The relation between these familials was not specified. Individual 4 of family 2 presented with left-side pheochromocytoma (6cm) and a right-side pheochromocytoma, (5.5cm) at 8 years. She also presented with pancreatic endocrine tumor (1.5cm) at 14Y.

    1. 41 non-related patients with retinal angiomatosis presenting in the Benjamin Franklin University Eye Clinic between 1988 to 1999 Germany were evaluated for the presence of other VHL lesions. VHL disease was diagnosed clinically in 33 patients based on the presence of other severe VHL lesions (spinal hemangioblastoma 45% prevalence, cerebellar hemangioblastoma 42% prevalence, renal cysts 39% prevalence, pancreatic cyst 39% prevalence, renal carcinoma 18% prevalence, PCC 18% prevalence). VHL germline mutations were identified in 27 out of 29 VHL families screened with molecular genetics. This patient with VHL-related retinal angiomatosis was found to have germline nonsense (c.208G>T) mutaion in the VHL gene. 1 other affected relative was also evaluated. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes and family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

      This study retrospectively reviewed the nephrectomy specimens for 20 patients, for whom histologic slides were available, from the authors respective institutes’ VHL clinics over a 15-year period (1996 to 2011). One patient (case 3) was found to have a history of VHL disease with a confirmed germline missense mutation (p.L128P (c.383T>C)) of the VHL gene. The 38 year old female proband presented with multiple bilateral renal tumors, and underwent multiple partial nephrectomies with tumor enucleations. Six of such tumors were identified and they ranged in size from 0.4-6.5 cm. Of these, 4 tumors were CCRCCs and 2 tumors showed were diagnosed as CCPRCCs confined to the kidney. Further, the tumors were classified as hemangioblastomas. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. 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 R161Q (c.482G>A) germline missense mutation of the VHL gene was found in a 8 year old VHL patient with pheochromocytoma (index case 244).

      Eligible patients were all index cases with clinical diagnosis or clinical suspicion of type 1 VHL referred for genetic testing from 2003 to 2015. Universal primer quantitative fluorescent multiplex polymerase chain reaction (UPQFM-PCR) and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis was completed using peripheral blood leukocytes. This patient (ID #22) was found with this VHL nonsense mutation (c.264G>A) when they were 13Y. They did not fulfil type 1 VHL clinical diagnosis. They presented with CNS hemangioblastoma at 13Y. Family history was unremarkable.

    1. other VHL patients

      An Israeli specialized center identified 32 VHL patients belonging to 16 diferent kindreds. This retorspective collection and analysis of clinical, labratory and imaging data of VHL patients involved one individual belonging to kindred II. Genetic analysis via direct VHL gene sequencing and quantitiative Southern blot identified the W88* (c.263G>A) mutation. This individual (49Y, M) had cerebellar hemangioblatomas, bilateral RCC and nephrectomy, as well as pancreatic surgery for his PNENs. He passed away at 54Y, without any family history reported.

      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.G93Afs* (c.278delG) mutation, stated in the paper as c.490delG due to an older transcript. It was seen in family [pedigree No] 16, with an unknown number of members described as ‘VHL-affected’ with RCC. Other manifestations are possible but not clear.

    2. 19 members of a large family were found to harbour the deletion of a single adenosine (A) at nucleotide 688 of VHL gene through genetic testing. Converted to NM_000551.3 standards this is a E160Sfs*10 (c.477delA) mutation. 9 members were genetically confirmed, alongside phenotypic presentations. Patient I.1 had 16 kids, 8 of which were known to have VHL. Southern blot analysis and PCR were performed on germline DNA samples. The proband (I.1), female of age 48, was found to have spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 and subsequently died at age 54 of pneumonia. Two of her children (II.1, II.28) and one grandchild (III.24) were noted as having CNS and renal involvement. Another child (II.5), was reported as having renal involvement. Another daughter (II.13) and a grand daughter (III.38) were noted as having CNS involvement. Her son (II.26), age 34, presented with a haemangioblastoma in the cerebellum. One year later an oesophageal abnormality was found. 10 years later, bilateral clear cell renal cancer and a syrinx associated with a spinal cord haemangioblastoma were found. He had baseline tachycardia and cystic lesions in the pancreas. A scrotal ultrasound examination showed he had a multicystic mass above his left testis consistent with epididymal cystadenoma. Haemangioblastomas posterior to the medulla with cysts splaying the medulla were also reported as well as cervical and thoracic spine hemangioblastomas. Finally, the probands grand-daughter (III.9), age 32, had a history of retinal angiomas since teen years and retinal detachment at the age of 23. She had olivopontocerebellar atrophy since her mid-late 20's due to new onset slurred speech and illegible handwriting and cysts of the pancreas and kidney detected at 22 years. She also presented multiple renal cysts without renal tumours, neuroendocrine/islet cell carcinoma (mass in the tail of the pancreas) and liver metastatic foci. Neuroimaging showed diffuse cerebellar and brain stem atrophy with slight atrophy of the cervical cord. A neurological exam revealed ataxia, dysarthria, dysmetria, and bulbar signs. She and various members of this family were also found to have abnormal increase in CAG repeats (41 instead of the normal 15-29) in one allele of her ataxin-2 gene (SCA2). ACMG evidence codes: 'PP1' since we have cosegregation with the disease in multiple affected family members, 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

      Patients with ELSTs were identified and included in the International Endolymphatic Sac Tumor Registry. The registry contained 93 patients as of July 2014, and of those, 25 were sporadic, and 68 associated with VHL. Patients with ELSTs and clinically confirmed diagnoses of VHL were included in this study. Statistics of this VHL subgroup are as follows: mean age 30, 62% female, 91% symptomatic, 54% with retinal angioma, 72% with CNS hemangioblastoma, 46% with renal cell carcinoma, 19% with pheochromocytoma, and 12% with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour. In the data from this study, only endolymphatic sac tumours can be confirmed as a phenotype for this mutation, which was found in 1 individual from France (c.525C>G).

    3. A retrospective cohort study included all the VHL patients diagnosed at Peking University First Hospital (Beijing, China) prior to June 1 2016. A total of 291 patients from 115 different families were included for analysis. One male patient (patient 226) was found with this germline mutation from family #84. He was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 24Y and multiple pancreatic lesions at 26Y. This cohort was also published in a paper by Wang et al., 2018 (PMID: 29330336).

    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 W117C (c.351G>T) germline missense mutation was found in a VHL type 1 patient with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and pancreatic cysts or tumors (unspecified) (family ID 83).

    1. In family 9 in our series, we identified a VHL germline mutation(470 C>T, Pro86Leu) in a 53 years old woman (proband 9) with asynchronous bilateral renal clear cell carcinomas, multiple renal cysts and pancreatic cysts and with no positive family history, in her younger brother with a single phenotype (pancreatic cysts),and in her niece with no detectable VHL lesions. It is of interest that we find the same mutation in another unrelated VHL family (family 10) in which affected patients have severe phenotypes including multiple CNS haemangioblastoma, retinal angiomas, bilateral RCCs and pancreatic cysts. Compared with the family 10, it is very likely that the affected members in the family 9 will develop CNS haemangioblastoma and retinal angiomas in the future.

    1. In a family with VHL, we identified a novel missense mutation (N78D), which affects a fully conserved residue in the VHL protein. Interestingly, several other missense mutations reported at same codon in the VHL protein that might be associated with a low risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) but not pheochromocytoma appear to be associated with a VHL type 1 phenotype. At the moment, RCC is present in none of the affected mutation carriers in the family described here. In contrast to other missense changes at codon 78, the change in our VHL family is predicted to have a mild effect on VHL function, which apparently is insufficient to cause predisposition to RCC.

    2. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients were analyzed and confirmed that higher risk of pheochromocytoma is associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid or that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL). This mutation (c.472C>G) was found in a VHL type 1 patient pf 21Y old, with retinal hemangioblastomas and cerebellar hemangioblastomas. ACMG codes as follows: Supporting evidence of pathogenicity because Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2).

    1. 56 male patients age 12 to 76 years, from 40 families with VHL were examined as part of a larger screening program for VHL. VHL mutations were identified in 16 families. Individual patient phenotype-genotype data was not available, but the mutations found and whether the corresponding patient had epididymal cystadenoma (EC) was reported. A c.526delA VHL mutation was found in a VHL patient without EC. This mutation was referred to in the paper as c.739delA due to a difference in transcript sequence.

    1. 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. 2 families were discussed with the same mutation, a c.529A>T stop mutation in the VHL gene (stated as c.742A>T in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). Patient 10, belonging to family VI presented with CNS hemangioblastomas and retinal capillary hemangioma. No family information was discussed. Patient 11, belonging to family VII presented with CNS hemangioblastomas and died at 28 from a pancreatic tumor. No family information was discussed for this patient either.

    1. missense mutation at codon 194 (V194G) in exon 3

      A 17-year-old female was referred for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and anemia. SHe had a 2-year history of episodic sweating and palpitations. She was diagnosed with a left adrenal pheochromocytoma. A left adrenalectomy was performed. One month after the left adrenalectomy, CT and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy showed a mass in the para-aortic region located superior to the left adrenal gland; later, histology confirmed this to be an extraadrenal pheochromocytoma. A second laparoscopic surgery was performed to remove a para-aortic mass. Six months after surgery, metastatic lesions were suspected in the lung, enlarged iliac lymph nodes, bilateral iliac masses, and a lumbar spinal mass. The histopathologic findings of thoracoscopic lung biopsy specimens confirmed metastasis of the malignant pheochromocytoma. Genetic testing confirmed a novel missense mutation at codon 194 (V194G) in exon 3 of the VHL gene, which was inherited from the paternal allele, and a loss of heterozygosity was noted in 3 of the patient's distinct tumors. Two independent in silico analyses suggested that this amino acid substitution was pathogenic.

    1. A 1 0-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with complaints of headache and diplopia. On physical examination, he weighed 40 kg (7590p), with a height of 142 cm (50-75p). His brachial blood pressure was 150/120 mmHg (95th percentile 123/81 mmHg). His mother had been operated for bilateral pheochromocytoma at the age of 23 and had not been under medical follow-up since then. Laboratory tests showed elevated 24-hour (h) urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) (40 mg/day; normal value 1-11) and normetanephrine (>2000 µg/day), but normal metanephrine levels (143 µg/day). Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated the presence of multiple lesions in perivascular areas neighboring both adrenal glands. An iodine 123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan revealed multiple focal areas of increased uptake near the adrenal glands. After the preparation for operation, bilateral subtotal adrenalectomy including removal of the masses was performed. The diagnosis of bilateral pheochromocytoma was confirmed histologically and immunohistochemically. The patient remained asymptomatic with no laboratory or radiologic abnormalities for six years of follow-up. At the age of 16, the patient was referred to our clinic with visual defect in the left eye. Ophthalmologic examination led to the diagnosis of bilateral retinal hemangiomas, and he underwent laser photocoagulation. Positive family history with bilateral pheochromocytoma and retinal hemangioma revealed the diagnosis of VHL disease. Cerebral, spinal MRI and abdominal computed tomography (CT) were normal.

      314 Chinese patients with Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, China, were included in this study for germline profiling. The majority of patients underwent surgery and were histopathologically diagnosed with PPGL. For patients who had an unresectable or metastatic tumor, PPGL diagnosis was determined based on clinical features (headache, palpitations, sweating, etc). Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of all 314 PPGL patients, and detect potential variants in 12 known genes associated with hereditary PPGL (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2, FH, VHL, RET, NF1, MAX, TMEM127, and KIF1B) using next-generation and Sanger sequencing. Germline variants were detected in 29% of the 314 PPGL patients. Germline genetic testing revealed a missense R161Q(c.482G>A) variant in exon 3 of the VHL gene in 2 patients. Patient #90 is a 23Y male PPGL patient who first presented with bilateral pheochromocytoma and retroperitoneal paraganglioma at age 19 and was also diagnosed at age 19. Patient 90 has a family history of PPGL, not further detailed. Patient #91 is a female PPGL patient who first presented with bilateral pheochromocytoma and retroperitoneal paraganglioma at age 10 and was also diagnosed at age 10. She was 28-years-old when metastasis was detected. She does not have a family history of PPGL.

    1. 20 vHL families were retrospectively identified in SickKids Genetics and Cancer Genetics Program SHIRE genetics database, with data entered between 30 August 1984 and 8 August 2016. Family 19 had 5 members confirmed with the stop gained mutation c,263G>A (stated as c.476G>A in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). The proband (male), cousin (female), and first cousin once removed (male) did not have any manifestations and their last known age was 12Y, 8Y and 27Y respectively. The uncle was found with hemangioblastoma at 28Y and died at 29Y. The mother was found with hemangioblastoma; renal cell carcinoma; pancreatic cysts/tumors; renal cysts/tumors and had an age of onset of 17Y and was 33Y at the time of the study. This family was later published in 31368132.

    1. Case 1: Clinical historyA 25-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of slowly progressive and gradual decrease in hearing. Two years previously, the patient had undergone brain surgery because of hemangioblastoma of the cerebellum. Gene analysis performed at that time showed mutation in VHL gene in exon 1 TCG(Ser65)→TTG(Leu). On physical examination, she was found to have a middle ear mass that protruded into the external auditory canal. Bone destruction was found radiographically. At surgery, vascular tumor tissue and cysts were seen permeating and destroying the adjacent petrous portion of the temporal bone with invasion of the mastoid and the semicircular canal. The patient underwent a complete removal of the tumor from the middle ear, mastoid, and petrous bone. However, recurrent destructive tumor of the middle ear appeared after 26 months.Family historyThe family medical history disclosed the presence of symptoms of VHLD in the patient's grandfather, uncle, and father. In particular, the patient's father presented with multi-tumor syndrome and evidence of genetic VHLD due to causal mutation in VHL gene in exon 1 TCG(Ser65)→TTG(Leu). At the age of 30, he was operated on for cerebellar hemangioblastoma, and died of disseminated bilateral renal cell carcinoma of kidneys with multi-organ distant metastases 13 years later at the age of 43.

    1. In a report of 3 novel VHL mutations in VHL Italian families, blood samples were obtained from 22 individuals of 5 families (13 affected individuals, 5 at-risk individuals, and 4 healthy parents); and PCR and SSCP analysis was performed. A missense mutation (p.N78S) was found in a family of 2 twin patients whose parents appeared to be clinically normal. Paternity and monozygosity of the 2 twins was ascertained and direct sequencing was completed resulting in a de novo missense mutation in these twins. The twins belong to family V5PG, both found with hemangioblastomas and 1 also with retinal hemangioblastomas. The mutation was referred to in the paper by c.446A>G due to a difference in transcript sequence.
