    1. 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.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. 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).

    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 mutation was found in 2 family members with VHL disease (family ID 4402), using PCR and SSCP sequencing. The mutation of c.470C>T was referred to in the paper by c.683C>T due to a difference in transcript sequence. One carried pheochromocytoma and both carried retinal hemangioblastoma.

      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 p.W117C (c.351G>T) was found in 5 VHL patients. 4 members were said to have retinal hemangioblastomas, while the other member was said not to have this phenotype. Other manifestations are not clearly stated. No family information or relation was provided. This is possibly previously published in PMID: 15300849

    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. 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). 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.

    2. 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.

    3. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds were analyzed. Higher risk of pheochromocytoma was associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid (p<=0.004) than for patients with missense mutations that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL) or other loss of function mutations (either germline deletions or truncating mutations). This missense mutation (c.395A>C), affecting a residue on surface of pVHL, was found in a VHL family of 2, 1 with retinal angiomas diagnosed at 18Y, 1 with cerebellar hemangioblastomas at 37Y, and 1 with renal cell carcinoma at 49Y.

Another individual belonging to a separate family was written with the same nonsense mutation and retinal angiomas diagnosed at 28Y, cerebellar hemangioblastomas diagnosed at 22Y, and renal cell carcinoma diagnosed at 37Y.

    8. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients were analyzed and confirmed that higher risk of pheochromocytoma is associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid or that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL). Age-related risks of retinal hemangoblastomas and renal cell carcinoma were higher in patients with nonsense or frameshift mutations. Southern blot and/or MLPA analysis by whole blood detected this nonsense mutation (c.375insT: p.Glu55*) in a VHL family with 2 affected members. They both had hemangioblatomas. No other info was given.

      The mutation was written as follows: AFO10238:375_376insT; NM_000551.2:c.162_163insT; p.54MetX. Author Maher was contacted and confirmed "A single nucleotide insertion (T) was detected at position 375 (375insT)” from 2000 lab report - June 1, 2021 - therefore assume p. transcribed incorrectly.

      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.

      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 3 patients with a p.L89P (c.266T>C) mutation, 67% (2/3) of individuals had RH while the other 33% (1/3) did not. No family information was provided.

    2. 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).

    3. 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).

      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.

    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 missense variant p.Q164L(c.491A>T) was identified in patient #48. This mutation was noted as c.704A>T in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used (see Table S1). No family information is available for this patient.

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

      Germline mutational data on VHL was gathered from various countries to assess variation in germline mutations that produce disease within different populations. Families were grouped according to three possible outcomes of disease: renal cell carcinoma without pheochromocytoma, renal cell carcinoma with pheochromocytoma, or pheochromocytoma alone. SSCP and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis identified mutations in 300/469 (63%) of families affected with VHL. This germline familial VHL mutation (G93D (c.278G>A)) was taken from the National Cancer Institute database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 2547NCI. It was reported in the paper as c.491G>A due to a difference in transcript reference. As reported in Table 4, this mutation is found in VHL families with pheochromocytoma. Other phenotypes are likely, including renal cell carcinoma, however not detailed here. Later publications reference this cohort as being reported in PMID: 7728151.

    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.

    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.

      VariantEvidence: Authors state that the c.712C>T germline familial variant of the VHL gene in this patient is “inferred from the family”. No genetic testing was done on this patient to confirm this. Being that this familial variant is out of bound with respect to the NM_000551.3 reference sequence, it was concluded that this variant is noted in the Latif et al. (1993) reference and was translated to c.499C>T (NM_000551.3).

    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.

    2. 41 non-related patients with retinal capillary hemangioma presenting in the Benjamin Franklin University Eye Clinic between 1988 to 1999 Germany were evaluated for the presence of other VHL lesions. VHL disease was diagnosed in 33 patients based on the presence of other severe VHL lesions (spinal hemangioblastoma, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, renal cysts, pancreatic cyst, renal carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma), molecular genetic testing, and/or family history. VHL germline mutations were identified in 27 out of 29 VHL families screened with molecular genetics. Blood samples were genetically tested using PCR-SSCP sequencing. One patient with VHL-related retinal angiomatosis was found to have germline splicing mutation (c.464-1G>C) mutation in the VHL gene. This variant was reported as c.677-1G>C (AF010238.1) and mapped to c.464-1G>C (NM_000551.3).

      Germline sequencing of the VHL gene was performed on patients who presented with VHL syndromic hemangioblastomas, and germline results were compared to sequencing results from matched tumor tissue samples. Patients were only identified by their tumor sample number. Sample 1 (patient 1) had a Gln96_Pro102 deletion (c.287_307del) in the VHL gene. Genetic analysis was conducted as follows: peripheral blood samples were collected from patients, and genomic DNA was extracted, amplified, and purified using ExoSAP IT (ExoSAP IT (Thermo Scientific Inc., MA, USA). Sanger sequencing was performed on samples (Bigdye direct cycle sequencing v3.1, Life Technologies, CS, USA) and capillary electrophoresis was performed on an ABI Genetic Analyzer (ABI 3130xl, Life technologies, CS, USA). Deletion and duplication analysis of the VHL gene spanning the chr3p.25.3 locus was tested by the Multiplex Ligation-dependant Probe Amplification (MLPA) procedure. VHL gene locus-specific probes (P016-C2 VHL) were purchased from MRC Holland (MRC Holland, Amsterdam, Netherlands).

    2. Genetic linkage and haplotype analysesPeripheral blood leukocytes were collected from 33 of the 38 living family members, and human genomic DNA was extracted using the DNA Isolation Kit for Mammalian Blood (Tiangen Biotech Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). We genotyped three polymorphic microsatellite markers that flanked VHL on chromosome 3p25 (D3S3691, D3S1597 and D3S1263). The microsatellite markers were amplified by PCR using fluorescently labeled primers. The products were analyzed with an Applied Biosystems 3730 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA, USA). LOD scores were calculated using the MLINK program of the LINKAGE package 5.1 (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, USA). The parameters used for linkage analysis were autosomal dominant inheritance, complete penetrance, a mutation rate of 0, equal male-female recombination rates, equal allele frequency, and the disease allele frequency of 1 in 10,000.[17]Von Hippel-Lindau sequence analysisMutation screening was performed by directly analyzing the DNA sequence output. The exons of VHL were amplified with primers flanking the exon-intron boundaries [Table 1]. The PCR thermal cycling program was as follows: One cycle of 2 minutes for denaturation at 95°C, 35 cycles for 30 seconds at 95°C, 35 seconds at 57°C, 45 seconds at 72°C, and one 7 minutes extension step at 72°C. The PCR products were sequenced on an Applied Biosystems 3730 Genetic Analyzer.[17,18]

    1. Genomic DNA was extracted from the patient’s peripheral blood leukocytes using a DNA extraction kit, and VHL gene coding sequence analysis was performed by direct sequencing of PCR-amplified products using Sanger sequencing technology with an Applied Biosystems 3500 Dx Series Genetic Analyzer (ThermoFisher Scientific, USA) at Beijing Shengguzhi Medical Laboratory (Beijing, China) following the manufacturer’s instructions. It was found that a deletion mutation (Fig. 4) occurred in the patient’s VHL gene at the c530-536delGACTGGA region in exon 3. This deletion caused a change in the amino acid at position 177 (Arg-177, Fig. 4). Based on the results of genetic tests, the patient was diagnosed with VHL syndrome with renal carcinoma, bilateral lung metastases, multiple nephrotic cysts and multiple cysts of the liver, cerebellar hemangioblastoma and cystadenoma of the head (Fig. 5). The patient’s conditions were informed to his family members, and a family medical census was proposed but was ultimately declined. The application of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors to treat the disease was also refused. Other symptomatic and supportive treatments for anaemia and hypoproteinaemia were also declined. On August 26, 2017, CT examinations showed that the renal tumours and lung metastatic lesions increased compared with previous conditions. The patient discontinued treatments and died in 2018.

    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. This familial mutation was confirmed in family #42. A male proband (patient 114) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 36Y, retinal angioma at 44Y, RCC at 44Y, and multiple pancreatic lesions at 44Y. His son (patient 115) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 12Y and retinal angioma at 11Y. His first sister (patient 116) was diagnosed with multiple pancreatic lesions at 53Y. His second sister (patient 117), who was not genetically confirmed for the mutation, was diagnosed with multiple pancreatic lesions at 46Y. His niece (daughter of second sister) (patient 118) was asymptomatic. His first brother (patient 119), who was not genetically confirmed for the mutation, was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 47Y, RCC at 59Y, and multiple pancreatic lesions at 59Y. His second brother (patient 120), who was not genetically confirmed for the mutation, was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 44Y, retinal angioma at 43Y, RCC at 44Y, and multiple pancreatic lesions at 44Y. His nephew (son of second brother) (patient 121) was diagnosed with CNS haemangioblastoma at 12Y, multiple pancreatic lesions at 18Y, pheochromocytoma at 18Y. This cohort was also published in a paper by Wang et al., 2018 (PMID: 24581539) and Wang et al., 2014 (PMID: 29330336). Wang et al., 2018 reported 8 patients from 1 family who were genetically confirmed with this germline mutation. Wang et al., 2014 reported 4 patients from 1 family who were genetically confirmed with the mutation. It is likely that all three papers published the same family.

    4. 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. This frameshift mutation was found in the VHL gene of family #15. The proband (patient 42) has four family members confirmed with the mutation, and two family members who passed away before diagnosis/ genetic confirmation of the mutation. Family members confirmed with the mutation include: the proband's daughter (patient 43) who had retinal angioma (age 17), renal cell carcinoma (21), multiple pancreatic cysts/tumors (18), and a pheochromocytoma (19). His son (patient 44) who was asymptomatic at the time of assessment. His niece 1 (patient 47) who had a retinal angioma and renal cell carcinoma (22). And his niece 2 (patient 28) who had a CNS hemangioblastoma (19) and a retinal angioma (18). Family members who passed away before diagnosis and were not genetically confirmed include: his sister (patient 45) who had a CNS hemangioblastoma (22), and his brother (patient 46) who had a retinal angioma and renal cell carcinoma at 52. This cohort was also published in a paper by Wang et al., 2018 (PMID: 29330336). It is likely that the same family was published in both papers, with two additional members added in the 2018 paper.

      75 individuals pre-diagnosed with pheochromocytoma and/or paraganglioma were referred for molecular genetic testing. Genomic DNA of each participant was isolated from peripheral blood samples to look for germline mutations in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma targeted susceptibility genes. 6 targeted genes (IF1B, RET, SDHB, SDHD, TMEM127, and VHL) were sequenced and identified variants were confirmed by sanger sequencing. Sequencing identified a germline S68P(c.202T>C) missense variant in the VHL gene of 3 patients: 4, 5 and 6. Patient 4 (29, M) was pre-diagnosed with pheochromocytoma (bilateral renal and eyes, pancreatic cysts) and had two affected family members, his mother (without any described phenotype or genotype) and his brother (patient 5). Patient 5 (32Y, M) was pre-diagnosed with pheochromocytoma (right kidney-clear cell carcinoma). Lastly, patient 6 was a 33Y male pre-diagnosed with paraganglioma and liver cysts. This patient's cousin was an affected family member described (without genotype or phenotypes details).

    2. A study investigated paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma tumors in a retrospective cohort and a prospective cohort. Tumour tissue samples were sequenced by next-generation sequencing using a custom gene panel. In some cases, Sanger sequencing was used to detect germline mutations. Some of these tumors were found with germline VHL mutations. Patient ID 100, from the prospective cohort, presented with multiple paragangliomas and a germline mutation in the VHL gene c.191G>C. Other phenotypic and demographic information was not available. The paper performed carbonic anhydrase IX immunohistochemistry and immunostaining with CA9 was observed in patient 100.

    1. 3-year-old white male child presented with hematuria of two days and a CT scan showed a right renal mass determined to be renal cell carcinoma. A nephrectomy was done and the tumour tissue was sent for karyotyping. Peripheral blood samples were also taken and sent for sequence analysis of the VHL gene. Genetic testing confirmed 2 mutations: a translocation between chromosome X and 1 t(X;1)(p11.2; p34.3) and a germline missense mutation, c.562C>G (p.Leu188Val) in the VHL gene. Family history was remarkable for a renal tumour in the paternal grandmother at age 65, treated by nephrectomy in 1998. Furthermore, a maternal uncle had a history of thyroid cancer, and a maternal cousin had a history of breast cancer. The patient’s parents and a 13-year-old half-brother were healthy.

      A case report reveals a 3Y girl with right adrenal malignant pheochromocytoma, with the mother diagnosed with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. The mother was 38Y when diagnosed with bilateral pheochromocytoma that was resected when she was 18Y. She presented several relapses, the most recent one at 32Y when she was also diagnosed with cerebral angioma. Genetic tests revealed the presence of the VHL c 244 C>G (p. Arg 82 Gly) heterozygote mutation in the mother, as well as in the child. Genetic tests for mutations in RET, SDHB, SDHC and SDHD in the mother were negative. After 6 months from the complete resection of the tumor, the daughter is without any clinical symptoms, with normal blood pressure, normal ophthalmoscopy, no tumor markers and no evidence of tumor on cerebral or abdominal MRI.

      Eighteen VHL patients who underwent pancreatectomy for one or several endocrine tumors at Beaujon hospital from 1997 to 2008 were retrieved from the file of VHL patients. All patients had VHL germline mutations. Age is at the time of surgery. Patients #15 (male) was found with this germline VHL mutation (p.R82P (c.245G>C)) and pancreatic endocrine tumours. The last known age of the patient was 48Y. Other phenotypes and demographics were unknown. ACMG PP4

    1. 15 Dutch VHL patients from 5 families were taken to measure the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Nine patients were found to harbour the VHL germline mutation V170D, referred to in the paper by V241D due to a difference in transcript sequence. Patient 1, a 57 year old female, presented with pancreatic cysts. Patient 4, a 31 year old male, presented with a kidney cyst and a brain hemangioblastoma and no signs of eye lesions. Patient 5, a 28 year old female, presented with a kidney cyst, brain hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma and a left eye angioma. Patient 7, a 28 year old female, presented with a kidney cyst and a right eye angioma. Patient 8, a 28 year old female, presented with pancreatic cysts and a right eye angioma. Patient 9, a 61 year old male, presented with pancreatic and liver cysts, a brain hemangioblastoma and a left eye angioma. Patient 11, a 38 year old male, presented with pancreatic, liver and kidney cysts, brain and spinal cord hemangioblastomas and a right eye angioma. Patient 12, a 50 year old male, presented with kidney & pancreatic cysts, a pheochromocytoma and a brain hemangioblastoma as well as no sign of eye lesions. Patient 13, a 34 year old male, presented with pancreatic cysts, brain and spinal cord hemangioblastomas and right and left eye angiomas. ACMG: '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.

    1. c.208 G>Tap.E70X

      53 patients with a molecularly confirmed VHL mutation (by PCR through EDTA-anticoagulated blood) and a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (ICT) were collected from the German NET-Registry and the German VHL-registry. An additional 296 patients were stated in this paper with a VHL associated germline mutation, but without pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. 2 patients were found to have the above mutation (c.208G>T). 1 was a VHL patient with an ICT (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor) taken from the VHL-registry. The other patient was stated to be in this study with the given mutation, however no ICT. Other clinical manifestations outside of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor are possible, but were not discussed. ACMG evidence codes: 'PVS1' because they observe a nonsense variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease.

    1. The index case was a 14 year-old boy who presented to us in 1971 with severe hypertension. On evaluation he was found to have a right adrenal mass with elevated urinary VMA (normal <7 mg/24 hr), confirming the diagnosis of a right adrenal pheochromocytoma. He underwent right adrenalectomy and the post-operative period was uneventful. He was subsequently lost to follow. In 1979, he presented to us again with severe headache and recurrent seizures. On examination his pulse rate was 100/min, blood pressure was 160/130 mm of Hg. Cardiac auscultation revealed a loud 2nd heart sound and a 3rd heart sound. There were no murmurs. Examination of the abdomen revealed a palpable mass in the left hypochondrium. This mass was confirmed as a pheochromocytoma. After adequately controlling his blood pressure he underwent left cortical sparing adrenalectomy. The post-operative period was uneventful. He was on steroid replacement that was subsequently withdrawn after his serum cortisol levels had normalized. His 8 AM cortisol after withdrawal of steroids was 12 µg/dl.He subsequently got married and had two children as shown in Figure 1, who also eventually developed similar tumors.

MRI of the CNS was normal, but ophthalmological examination showed a right retinal hemangioblastoma that was treated by laser. In 2002, he had right nephrectomy and left nephron-sparing surgery for renal cell carcinoma. At age 27, a palpable mass on the left side of the neck was diagnosed during dental care. CT and MRI revealed a 4-cm carotid body tumor that was removed after selective embolization. Histology revealed a paraganglioma. The patient also has pancreatic cysts. Molecular genetics identified the deletion of exons 2 and 3 of the VHL gene.

      A 17-year-old girl was referred to the Department of Endocrinology at La Rabta University Hospital for the investigation of a newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus and a severe arterial hypertension. The patient is the first child of consanguineous parents and has a family history of type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia, but no conditions that may suspect VHL disease. Blood tests disclosed hypercalcemia and abdominal computed tomography showed bilateral adrenal tumors. A clinical diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2a (MEN2A) was originally suspected but genetic analysis (not further detailed) revealed the missense mutation c.191G > C (p.Arg64Pro) in exon 1 of the VHL gene. The authors concluded that the presence of pheochromocytomas and the missense mutation in VHL gene suggests type 2 VHL disease. She was further diagnosed with dyslipidemia and primary hyperparathyroidism. The patient underwent a bilateral adrenalectomy marked by normalization of blood pressure, blood glucose, calcium, and PTH levels.

Of 246 patients affected with von Hippel-Lindau disease, 64 patients (26%) from 38 families had pheochromocytoma, including 33 newly diagnosed during screening studies and 31 treated before screening at NIH. Germline mutations in the VHL gene was determined from peripheral blood. Family 4339 were found with p.Arg176fs mutation (legacy notation c.739delA converted to NM_000551.3) in the VHL gene. Family 4339: 1/4 had pheochromocytoma, 4/4 had renal cell carcinoma, 1/4 had CNS hemangioblastoma, 1/4 had retinal angiomas, 1/4 had cysts. Individual patient phenotype-genotype was not described in the paper.

    1. The aim was to assess the frequency of von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) and the long-term prognosis of VHL and non-VHL patients among 110 consecutive patients with haemangioblastoma (HB) of the CNS treated between 1953 and 1993 at one neurosurgical unit.

      The study assessed the long-term prognosis of VHL and non-VHL patients among 110 consecutive patients with haemangioblastoma (HB) of the CNS treated between 1953 and 1993 at one neurosurgical unit. 14 patients had VHL disease, but only the genotype of the patients was only described for case 8 (NM_000551.3:c.278G>C) and 11 (NM_000551.3:c.293A>G). One of these two patients had pheochromocytoma in a family member, but it is unclear which patient. Case 8 had a germline p.Gly93Ala mutation. Genotyping methods included PCR and direct sequencing. Additional phenotypes and family history were not provided on an individual level for VHL patients.

    1. VHL Variants

      This report studied the prevalence of germline variants in Japanese PPGL patients. Of the 370 PPGL original Japanese probands, this cohort consisted of 15 patients with pheochromocytoma and/or paragangliomas with germline VHL varaints. Blood samples were used to examine 7 genes: MAX, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127, VHL, and RET, using Sanger sequencing. Of these 15 VHL patients: 10 had bilateral PCC, 4 had PCC with abdominal/thoracic PGL, and one had metastatic PPGL. The variant R167W (c.499C>T) was one of the 15 found in a patient with PPGL. Their family history or further manifestations were not detailed.

    1. 3.4. Tubulogenesis and Angiogenesis Assays of VHL versus Control BOECsUpon isolation and expansion of BOECs, it was visually clear that BOECs derived from VHL patients appeared morphologically different from healthy controls (Figure 5A). While controls appear as elongated and in closer contact, VHL BOECs are less elongated, rather rounded, and sparsely distributed. Angiogenesis can be measured in vitro by two functional assays for ECs: tubulogenesis and wound healing. VHL patient-derived BOECs showed differences compared to the control group. In the tubulogenesis assay, VHL cells displayed a significantly reduced number of closed tubules (Figure 5B). On the other hand, they were slower on average when migrating to cover the discontinuity inflicted in the confluent monolayers or wound (Figure 5C).Open in a separate windowFigure 5Morphological and functional differences between ECs derived from either healthy subjects or VHL patients.

Student’s t-test: ** p < 0.01; and *** p < 0.001.3.5. VEGF Signaling PathwayThe VEGF signaling pathway appeared upregulated in VHL BOECs, according to the GSEA analysis (Figure 6A). Western blotting was used to check the phosphorylation of regulatory kinases belonging to the VEGFA-VEGFR2 pathway (AKT and ERK1/2) (Figure 6B).Open in a separate windowFigure 6(A) VEGF signaling pathway appeared upregulated, according to the GSEA analysis.

VHL ECs Have Higher Expression of ROSFigure 7A shows a table collecting genes involved in the ROS metabolism, which are downregulated in VHL ECs. Accordingly, a measure of ROS was made from in vitro cultures of control and VHL-derived ECs. In Figure 7B, a representative histogram of the results is depicted. As expected, and supporting the RNAseq results, we found that VHL ECs have on average almost double the amount of ROS than their non-VHL counterpart.Open in a separate windowFigure 7(A) ROS metabolism modulation in RNAseq analysis in VHL ECs. (B) ROS levels in control and VHL cells, showing a significant increase in VHL samples. Error bars denote ± SEM. Student’s t-test: ** p < 0.01.3.7. VHL Gene Expression in VHL Patients’ ECsNo differences in VHL gene expression were found between the patients and the control group, despite the heterozygosis of the patients in the VHL gene. This result could be explained by the type of mutation these patients present: four out of five present missense mutations (Table 1, Figure 3). Only in sample 4, where the mutation affects the splicing site of the DNA, the RNA levels show a lower tendency, although not significant (Table S1). In order to visualize the translational effect of the patients’ mutations, we mapped them on the 3D structure of pVHL, highlighting the changes in amino acids (Figure 8A,B). The altered amino acids fall within areas of close contact between the different subunits, which could affect its proteolytic activity and the assembly of a functional proteasomal complex. Proper folding of the protein, an altered interaction with the substrates, or assembly of the E3 ligase complex, which most likely lead to its loss of function. Further computational analysis should be performed to elucidate the definite cause of how those mutations impair protein function.Open in a separate windowFigure 8(A) 3D complex structure (PDB ID: 4AJY) of the von Hippel–Lindau protein (yellow), Elongin B (green), and Elongin C (purple), bound to Hif1- alpha peptide (depicted in dark blue), highlighting the heterodimerization interface of this complex in a gray box and the position of the R64P mutation. (B) Inset of the VHL-ELOb/c interface with their respective involved amino acids are represented as sticks, while the relevant mutation positions are represented with spheres and labelled in bold. (C) Confocal staining of sample V1 (p.R167Q) shows the distribution of pVHL in the cell cytoplasm, distributed in the perinuclear region in VHL cells and throughout the cell in control ones.A misfolding of the protein could explain the differential distribution of pVHL in sample V1 (p.R167Q). Confocal staining of ECs shows that pVHL accumulates in the perinuclear region. This result suggests a likely aggregation of pVHL in endoplasmic reticulum cysts. Conversely, control ECs show a more heterogeneous distribution of pVHL throughout the cytoplasm (Figure 8C). We believe that these differences in cellular pVHL distribution are caused by the mutations in pVHL present in this patient.

    1. The VHL mutation pattern includes point mutations, small deletions and large deletions.

      This paper analyzed the VHL gene of 21 patients who had clinical a clinical diagnosis of VHL, familial pheochromocytoma, or sporadic pheochromocytoma. 7 patients were from 3 families, while the remaining 14 were unrelated. Mutations were detected by realtime quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) assays using peripheral venous blood. The mutation (c.499C>T) was found in 1 individual (33Y, M), without family history, who presented with pheochromocytoma, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. This case was also later presented in PMID: 24735130 (Pai et al, 2014).

    1. von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome predisposing to the development of retinal and central nervous system haemangioblastomas, pheochromocytomas, renal and pancreatic cancer. In the course of a molecular analysis conducted to detect germline mutations of this gene in von Hippel-Lindau patients and individuals affected by sporadic tumors, we have identified a case of somatic mosaicism in the asymptomatic mother of a VHL patient who was subsequently diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. This is the first report providing molecular evidence of somatic mosaicism in von Hippel-Lindau disease. Mosaicism could provide some genetic explanation for the clinical heterogeneity and variable severity of the VHL phenotype, and should be considered, as a possible event when evaluating sporadic cases of VHL or patients with isolated VHL-related tumors.

To test this hypothesis the molecular analysis was repeated on tissues of different embryonic origin. DNA extracted from the mother's buccal mucosa showed higher levels of intensity of the same altered bands (Fig. 1b). The amplification products of exon 3 of the two mutated individuals were subjected to Fok I digestions that further confirmed the presence of mosaicism in the mother, as evidenced by the lower intensity of the fragments generated by the newly created restriction site (Fig.2).

    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 R161P (c.482G>C) was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by c.695G>C due to a difference in transcript sequence. This missense mutation was found in the VHL gene and one patient with pheochromocytoma.

    1. Mutation analysis revealed positive mutation in exon 3 of VHL gene at 167th position of amino acid Arg (arginine) is replaced by Gln (glutamine) happens due to CGG-CAG a single nucleotide change.

      The case report details a 26-year-old male (case 4) presenting with cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Four years later, he was diagnosed with pancreatic endocrine tumour, pheochromocytoma, and pancreatic cysts. Mutation analysis reveals a c.500G>A change. The patient had family history of VHL. ACMG code "PS1", as this is the same mutation as a previously described pathogenic variant.

    1. c.482G>A (p.Arg161Gln)

      The medical records of 78 Korean patients with pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paragangliomas (PGL) were examined, 61 patients were diagnosed with PCC and the other 17 patients with PGL. 57 patients were included in the study. After excluding patients, 57 patients underwent sequencing. 14 patients received Sanger sequencing in pre-NGS period, while the other 43 patients underwent genetic testing by either direct sequencing (n=2) or targeted NGS (n=41) in the post-NGS period. 28 patients were found to have germline mutations in 7 PPGL-related genes (SDHB, RET, VHL, NF1, MAX, SDHA, and SDHD). Out of the 28 patients, 6 patients had germline mutations in VHL (5 presented with Pheochromocytoma and 1 with Paraganglioma). This patient was diagnosed with PCC due to bilateral adrenal mass and was found to have a R161Q(c.482G>A) missense variant in the VHL gene, which was detected by targeted NGS.

    1. c.337C > Tp.Arg113X

      43 Italian patients were molecularly analyzed for Von Hippel-Lindau disease based on clinical suspicion. Peripheral blood samples were directly sequenced on an automatic sequencer (ABI 3100, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) was used to detect partial or complete VHL gene deletions. One of the 43 patients (Patient ID 1) was found to have the mutation c.337C>T leading to an early stop codon. The patient had multiple hemangioblastomas and renal cell carcinoma. This patient had family history of the disease and was classified as A1 by the authors (families meeting current VHL diagnostic criteria with involvement of at least three VHL tumors in two distinct organs).

    1. The data of 18 patients with solid renal tumours associated with VHL disease were analyzed. All patients except for Patient 12 came from families with a definite VHL family history (the paper does not provide further details on this.) The patients came from 12 Chinese families and 5 were from the same family. Extrarenal manifestations of VHL disease were detected in 17 patients. Of 18 patients, 15 (including 6 asymptomatic) volunteered for DNA testing as previously described. Patients 6 and 7 had genetic testing and were found to have the same germline frameshift mutation c.447del (p.Asn150Ilefs*)(noted as c.661delA in the paper due to a difference in the VHL reference sequence notation used.).
