    1. c.564G>T (W117C) 

      Eleven RCCs and 16 renal cysts from eight patients with VHL were analyzed. All patients had known germline VHL mutations. One male patient had a missense germline mutation (c.351G>T; p.W117C) in VHL gene and presented with bilateral RCC and cysts, CNS and retinal hemangioblastoma, and pancreatic cysts. Family history was not described for the patient.

    1. A study investigated paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma tumors in a retrospective cohort and a prospective cohort. Some of these tumors were found with germline VHL mutations. Tumour ID 40 and ID 41 (both from a 15 years old patient presenting with multiple benign tumors), and ID 42 (from a 40 years old patient presenting with multiple benign tumors) were PCC and found with a germline mutation in the VHL gene p.Leu178Pro. It is not clear if tumour samples 40 and 41 were taken from the same patient at 2 different time points or different patients. Other phenotypic and demographic information was not available.

    1. In a study of 114 unrelated VHL affected families, germline mutations in the VHL gene were identified in 85 of the families. VHL mutations were detected in affected family members, but not in unaffected family members or 96 normal individuals, however it seems unaffected family members were not tested genetically for the mutations. Mutations in the VHL gene were detected by SSCP and DNA sequencing. Haplotypes were determined with four microsatellite polymorphic probes. The missense mutation L184P (c.551T>C) (In the paper noted as nucleotide position 764 and codon position 255 due to old reference transcript), was found in 2 individuals in family 3708. Both individuals were identified with renal cell carcinoma and one also presented with a CNS hemangioblastoma. Additional information regarding the family information, including a pedigree, were not provided. ACMG evidence codes: 'flag for PP4' since the patients phenotype and family history is consistent with VHL, 'flag for PP1' because there is co-segregation of variant with the phenotype in two members of the family.

    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 (S80N (c.239G>A)) was taken from the Munich, university of Freiburg and Institute of Pathology database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 39CE. It was reported in the paper as c.452G>A due to a difference in transcript reference. As reported in Table 3, this mutation is found in VHL families without pheochromocytoma, and with renal cell carcinoma.

    2. CASE REPORT [Image Omitted. Please see PDF] A 19-year-old Saudi male presented to the emergency department with one-week history of polyuria and polydipsia. Physical examination findings were unremarkable. His father had died as a complication of metastatic renal carcinoma. Initial workup demonstrated random blood glucose of 16.3 mmol/L and HbA1C of 9.1%. Urinalysis was positive for ketone bodies, and blood analysis was positive for traces of ketone bodies. Patient was acidotic with pH of 7.3 and bicarbonate levels of 19 mmol/L. A presumptive diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was made; immune markers including glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) autoantibodies and islet cell autoantibodies were sent to exclude type I diabetes mellitus and maturity onset diabetes of the young. Intravenous insulin infusion and other appropriate management were initiated to control blood sugars and to correct the associated DKA. Later, the diagnosis of type I diabetes mellitus was confirmed with the presence of islet cell autoantibodies and that C-peptide level were within normal range. [Image Omitted. Please see PDF] Ultra-sound abdomen was performed as the patient complained of persistent abdominal pain even after correction of DKA. Ultrasound abdomen demonstrated an incidental finding of a well-defined hypo-echoic soft tissue mass measuring 3.7 x 4.7 cm in the left supra-renal region. Computerized tomography (CT) scan was performed for further evaluation. It demonstrated a 3.7 x 4.0 cm rounded lesion in the left adrenal gland with intense enhancement, suggestive of pheochromocytoma. A small hypo-dense lesion was also noted in the left renal upper pole, measuring 2.3 cm, with heterogeneous enhancement suggestive of a solid mass. The CT scan also demonstrated multiple rounded cystic lesions in the head, body, neck and tail of the pancreas representing pancreatic cysts. The above findings collectively were suggestive of phakomatosis disorders, in particular, vHL disease. Chromosomal studies were sent for detection of genetic mutations and confirmation of the diagnosis. MRI abdomen was highly suggestive of a left sided pheochromocytoma (Figure 1). It also demonstrated multiple cystic lesions in the pancreas (Figure 2) and bilateral cortical lesions in the kidneys, which demonstrated internal septal enhancement in the post gadolinium injection phase, highly indicative of renal cell carcinoma. Nuclear medicine scan demonstrated increased tracer uptake in the left suprarenal gland. Meanwhile, laboratory studies demonstrated increased serum normetanephrine level of 11.80 nmol/l, urine metanephrine level of 400nmol/24hrs, and urine normetanephrine level of 1210 nmol/24hrs. Serum cortisol, aldosterone and renin levels were within normal limits. A diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was confirmed and patient was started on anti-hypertensive medications and scheduled for surgical removal of the pheochromocytoma and the suspicious renal masses. Patient underwent robot assisted laparoscopic left adrenalectomy and left renal mass excision. Two renal nodules were removed. The post-operative course was unremarkable and patient was discharged home in stable condition.

He had persistent abdominal pain (later showing left sided pheochromocytoma (3.7 x 4.0 cm rounded lesion in the left adrenal gland) and right sided renal cell carcinoma (measuring 2.3 cm, with heterogeneous enhancement suggestive of a solid mass)). The CT scan also demonstrated multiple rounded cystic lesions in the head, body, neck and tail of the pancreas representing pancreatic cysts. Bilateral cortical lesions in the kidneys also demonstrated internal septal enhancement in the post gadolinium injection phase, highly indicative of renal cell carcinoma.

      A 2.75 year old patient (32 month-old girl) presented with a pheochromocytoma. Genetic sequencing (not specified) revealed a c.491A>G (p.Gln164Arg) heterozygous germline mutation in exon 3 of the VHL gene. Sequencing of her mother, father, a sibling, and her paternal grandparents revealed that the mutation was present only in her father, and was de-novo in her father. Upon screening, her father (a 31 year old male) presented with a retinal angioma, an adenoma of right adrenal gland, a right-sided renal cyst, an epidydymal cyst, a contrast-enhancing lesion in the pancreas, and bilateral pheochromocytomas.

    1. 2 France c.583C>T p.Gln195*

      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 (c.583C>T), which was found in 2 individuals from France.


    1. 2 complete deletions

      27 index patients suspected of having VHL disease from unrelated Chinese families and their relatives were studied. The nucleotide were numbered according to the sequence numbering by Latif et al, 1993 and this was converted to NM_000551.3. The paper did not differentiate between a pancreatic cysts and tumor and presented these together as a 'pancreatic lesion'. The paper summarized the phenotypes of the families together. Family 21 and 25 were each one member (proband) each and were found with complete VHL deletions. Proband 21 had only hemangioblastoma and genetic testing of her parents confirmed a de novo mutation. Proband 25 was found with hemangioblastoma, retinal angioma and pancreatic lesion. Proband 25 had no family history of VHL but parents were not available for genetic testing so de novo mutation cannot be assessed. ACMG PVS1

      Two Swedish families with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) were analyzed. Family B consists of 4 members across 2 generations. Patient I:1 (proband) is a female with renal cell carcinoma and cerebellar hemangioblastomas. Genetic analysis of blood samples revealed a frameshift mutation N174fs (c.520insAA, originally written in paper was legacy notation c.732insAA) with a downstream premature stop codon at position 201. Genetic analysis of her two children also confirmed the mutation: her son, patient II:1, had cerebellar hemangioblastoma and her daughter, patient II:2, was asymptomatic. The proband's partner (I:2) had no mutation and no VHL phenotype. ACMG: PP4

    1. Nine patients were diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. Lumbal spinal hemangioblastoma and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor without pheochromocytoma were detected in one patient. In patients with pheochromocytoma, additional tumors, such as retinal angioma, renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic serous cystadenoma, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors were detected. All patients were diagnosed as VHL syndrome type 2B.

    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.

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.

      FamilyInfo: 38 family members had been affected at the date of 1986, and 10 had passed away. Pheochromocytoma, cerebellar, spinal and retinal hemangioblastomas, and various cysts were clinical manifestations of VHL seen throughout the family. This woman (II-1) appears to have inherited this disease from her father, and passed it onto her 6 children, and many kin thereafter. See Fig. 1 for family pedigree.

    1. c.499C > T p.Arg167Trp

      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 renalcell 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 was 1 patient reported with c.499C>T (p.R167W). This member presented with retinal hemangiomas. No family information was provided.

      Among patients prospectively followed by the members of the French VHL Study Group, 35 consecutive patients with well-documented endocrine pancreatic tumour (20 women and 15 men; median age,37 [21Y-57] years) were included. The data from 7 patients with EPT have been partially reported previously in Hammel et al., 1995;2000. All 35 patients had VHL germline mutations and were assessed for the presence of pheochromocytoma and renal cancer in addition to pancreatic tumours. The presence of other phenotypes was not described. The c.500G>A mutation was found in 2 unrelated patients. Patient no 13 from family 354 presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour and pheochromocytoma. Patient no. 29 from family 372 presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour and pheochromocytoma. No family history was mentioned. The patients' phenotypes are highly specific to VHL disease (PP4) and disease-causing missense variants are common in VHL disease (PP2). Further, the mutation is occuring at a VHL hotspot (PM1).

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 reviewed. Peripheral blood leukocytes were isolated and directly sequenced. 1 patient presented with the c.250G>T/p.Val84Leu germline variant of the VHL gene. Patient 16, 60Y female previously published in PMID 16142346, presented with multiple pheochromocytomas and a positive family history for VHL. She was diagnosed with VHL Type 2C.

    3. 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. Three unrelated probands were genetically confirmed with a germline missense mutation at c.499C>T of the VHL gene. Patients 42 and 44, 10Y and 30Y males respectively, both presented with multiple and/or bilateral pheochromocytoma and CNS hemangioblastomas. Patient 43, 30Y male, presented with multiple and/or bilateral pheochromocytoma and retinal hemangioblastoma. Patients 42 and 43 had a family history negative for VHL disease while patient 44 had a positive family history of VHL disease. Patient 43s phenotypes were revised from a previous report (PMID 19949673). Patient 44 was previously reported in PMID 16142346 as well as Kim et al., 2005 (reference 15 in the current paper). All of these patients were diagnosed with VHL Type 2A.

      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. Patient 2 was pre-diagnosed with bilateral pheochromocytoma and sequencing identified a germline R161*(c.481C>T) nonsense variant in the VHL gene. Patient 2 had two affected family members, his father and sister. It does not describe how they were affected nor any diagnosis or variant.

      Of 14 patients with retinal vascular proliferation and known family history of VHL disease, 12 patients were enrolled in an approved study protocol at the National Cancer Institute. 11 of these patients underwent genetic testing and were found to have mutations in the VHL gene. Patient 6, age 34, had retinal vascular proliferation, CNS hemangioblastoma, pancreatic and renal abnormalities, and an epididymal cyst. She was found to carry the N78D (c.232A>G) mutation. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

      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. 1 patient was found to have the above mutation (c.277G>C). Other clinical manifestations outside of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor are possible, but were not discussed. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in a gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.

    3. All registrants provided 10 ml EDTA-anticoagulated blood for molecular genetic analyses. The analyses comprised testing of all exons including the splice sites of the VHL (RefSeq:NM_000551.2) and MEN1 (RefSeq:NM_130803.1) genes for germline mutations. DNA extraction, primers, PCR conditions, and sequencing methods followed published protocols of international standards (Lemmens et al. 1997, Franke et al. 2009). The primers are available on request. Of note, analyses also included screening for large deletions or rearrangements of the VHL and MEN1 genes. For screening for intragenic mutations, we used the PCR-based denaturing HPLC. For detection of large deletions/rearrangements, we used two commercially available kits for multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, the SALSA MLPA KIT P016 VHL, and the SALSA MLPA KIT P017-B1 MEN1 respectively (MLPA, MRC Holland, Amsterdam, The Netherlands). The primers are available on request. All analyses for the VHL gene and the analyses for intragenic mutations in the MEN1 gene have been performed in Freiburg. The analyses for the large deletions and rearrangements of the MEN1 gene have been performed in Madrid.

    1. Analysis of protein structure The same missense substitution may be pathogenic or neutral depending on the location of the amino acid change within the encoded protein. Substitutions at sites that are important for structure or function of the encoded protein are more likely to be pathogenic. In fact, up to three-quarters of the missense variants responsible for human monogenic diseases may destabilize protein structure.20 The VHL protein (pVHL) is the substrate recognition component in a ternary complex with Elongin B and Elongin C, responsible for regulation of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF).21 Studies of the pVHL quaternary structure show that Asp121 is folded into the beta domain hydrophobic core, a relatively buried site that is not directly important for Elongin C binding. However, polar residues in the beta domain core are structurally important and substitutions here have the potential to cause complete unravelling of pVHL.22 Substitutions of Asp121 are not a frequent cause of VHL but there are two that have been demonstrated to be pathogenic: the switch of aspartic acid for asparagine (Asp121Asn) and the switch of aspartic acid for glycine (Asp121Gly).8

    2. c.499C>T p.Arg167Trp

      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 5 involved four members with a c.499C>T change leading to a p.Arg167Trp protein change. The first member, the father, presented with renal cell carcinoma at 63. His 3 daughters also presented. The first daughter presented with hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cyst, and pancreatic cysts at 37, as well as pheochromocytoma at 39. The second daughter presented with pancreatic cysts at 36 and hemangioblastoma at 38. The third presented with retinal capillary hemangioma at 34. The first born son did not present with any symptoms nor the mutation. ACMG Evidence Code: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes and family histories are highly specific for VHL disease.

      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. Patient #89 is a female PPGL patient who was diagnosed with retroperitoneal paraganglioma at age 39. She was also 39 when metastasis was detected. Germline genetic testing revealed a missense p.P154S(c.460C>T) variant in exon 2 of the VHL gene. Patient 89 does not have family history of PPGL.

      DiseaseAssertion: infantile-onset HCM and mitral valve dysplasia

      FamilyInfo: Family with consanguinity in which four children had died before one year of age. The father (37 years old) and mother (27 years old) of the proband are consanguineously related. Two infants (VI:1 and VI:2) died at less than 30 days of age from cardiorespiratory arrest, and two (VI:3 and VI:4, proband) of them displayed abnormal cardiac findings on chest roentgenogram. While all four children displayed hepatomegaly and general hypotonia, VI:3 and VI:4 had a marked increase in heart size and died from refractory cardiogenic shock. The status of the MYL2 allele in siblings is unknown. The proband (fs/fs) was homozygous for the MYL2-fs allele while the parents were found to be heterozygous (fs/wt) carriers. The father (37 years old) and mother (27 years old) of the proband are consanguineously related, were asymptomatic from a cardiac standpoint and had normal cardiac anatomy and function as evaluated by an echocardiogram

      ParentalTesting: Homozygous variant in the proband and that the parents are heterozygous carriers using Sanger DNA sequencing of the genomic region. Father (37 years old) and mother (27 years old) were asymptomatic from a cardiac standpoint and had normal cardiac anatomy and function as evaluated by an echocardiogram

      CaseHPOFreeText: Showed a rapid decline in health and was treated for various periods in neonatal intensive care units. The patient also displayed severe mitral valve regurgitation with abnormal thickening of the mitral valve leaflets and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Post-mortem examination of the proband’s heart confirmed severe biatrial dilatation, significant biventricular hypertrophy with small ventricular cavities and severe mitral valve dysplasia

      CaseNotHPOs: NR

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: no gross developmental defects

      CasePreviousTesting: No prior genetic testing reported before exome sequencing

      Genotyping Method: Performed exome sequencing on the proband. Exome libraries were constructed using the Agilent SureSelectQXT Target Enrichment System for Illumina Multiplexed Sequencing Protocol (Agilent Technologies, CA). DNA libraries were captured with the Agilent Clinical Research Exome Kit. Paired-end 150 base pair reads were generated for exome-enriched libraries sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 to a targeted depth of 100× coverage

      FunctionalAnalysis: Functional analysis performed. Immunohistochemical analysis of MYL2 expression in the proband’s ventricular myocardium shows a remarkable reduction in the expression of MYL2 as compared to control. Also, MYL2 mRNA was detected in the ventricle of the proband by RT-PCR. This suggests that the frameshift variant adversely affects the levels of MYL2 protein in the proband. Using immunoblot analysis, we observed that overexpression of the MYL2-fs variant was significantly reduced compared to stop-gain variants and the missense variant. When the H9c2 cells were treated with MG-132 after transfection with the MYL2-fs construct, the GFP signal corresponding to MYL2-fs was recovered. The in vitro experiments indicate that the MYL2-fs variant is not stable and that proteasome-mediated degradation of the translated product plays a key role in the instability of the protein. The overexpression of the fs variant identified in our proband or the MYL2-G162R missense variant failed to rescue the phenotype. Results reported in Figures 2, 3, and 4.

    1. Case IV.2 is an 8-year-old male from family B (Fig. 1b), who was diagnosed with DCM at the age of 6. He underwent heart transplantation soon after diagnosis. The only other clinical feature noted was horseshoe kidney. The affected brother (IV.1) died at the age of 2 of SCD and renal failure.

      Case#: Family B, Case IV.2; 8-year-old male; diagnosed at age 6

      DiseaseAssertion: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)

      FamilyInfo: Positive family history of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The proband's brother (IV.1) died at age 2 of SCD and renal failure. Both parents (III.1 and III.2) were asymptomatic heterozygous carriers of MYL3 c.106G>T. Two unaffected siblings were tested: IV.3 was wild-type and IV.4 was heterozygous (Fig. 1b; Supplementary Fig. S2b).

      ParentalTesting: Both parents (III.1 and III.2) were confirmed heterozygous carriers of MYL3 c.106G>T by PCR and bidirectional Sanger sequencing, supporting autosomal recessive inheritance (Supplementary Genetic Findings; Fig. S2b).

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0001644 (Dilated cardiomyopathy); HP:0000085 (Horseshoe kidney); HP:0005162 (Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction).

      CaseHPOFreeText: DCM diagnosed at age 6; heart transplantation performed shortly after diagnosis. Clinical evaluation revealed horseshoe kidney, severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF 15–20%), moderate right ventricular dysfunction (TAPSE 9 mm), chamber cardiomegaly on coronary CT angiography, and rapid ventricular tachycardia on ECG (Main text, Family B; Supplementary Results, p. 6).

      CaseNotHPOs: NR

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: NR

      CasePreviousTesting: NR (no prior diagnostic genetic testing reported before the study's exome sequencing)

      Genotyping Method: Exome sequencing identified the homozygous MYL3 c.106G>T (p.Glu36Ter) variant in the proband (IV.2). PCR and bidirectional Sanger sequencing validated the variant and confirmed segregation in the parents and two unaffected siblings (Supplementary Methods; Supplementary Genetic Findings; Fig. S2b).

      FunctionalAnalysis: Zebrafish cmlc1 knockdown and rescue experiments were performed using human MYL3 RNA containing c.106G>T (p.Glu36Ter). Unlike wild-type MYL3 RNA, the mutant RNA failed to rescue the cardiac phenotype, with persistent cardiac edema, ventricular dysfunction, and atrial dilation (Fig. 2; Supplementary Methods; Supplementary Movie S7).

      Variant: MYL3 NM_000258.2:c.106G>T (p. Glu36Ter); homozygous nonsense variant

      ClinVar: NR

      CAID: CA352499542

      gnomAD: NR

      AdditionalInfo: The authors classified the homozygous MYL3 c.106G>T (p.Glu36Ter) nonsense variant as pathogenic. The variant introduces a premature termination codon at amino acid 36. The proband was born to asymptomatic, consanguineous (first-cousin) parents of Bakhtiyari ancestry. Family segregation and zebrafish functional studies provide supporting evidence (Supplementary Results; Supplementary Genetic Findings; Supplementary Table S2).

    2. Case VI.1, from family C, was a female of apparently healthy second cousin parents. She was diagnosed with unclassified cardiomyopathy at the age of 2.5 years and died at the age of 8 years of SCD. Family history was positive for cardiac disease and occurrence of SCD in three family members (V.5, V.6, and V.8), who had been diagnosed with unclassified cardiomyopathy between the ages of 2 and 3 and had died between 5 and 9 years of age (Fig. 1c). There was no record of cardiac evaluation available for these individuals. The 40-year-old mother (V.2) was offered genetic testing following the death of her daughter (VI.1). Unfortunately, there was no tissue available from the deceased individual VI.1.

      Case#: Family C, Case VI.1; female; diagnosed at age 2.5 years; died at age 8

      DiseaseAssertion: Unclassified cardiomyopathy

      FamilyInfo: Family C has a positive family history of childhood-onset cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death. The affected individual (VI.1) was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy at age 2.5 years and died at age 8. Three maternal relatives (V.5, V.6, and V.8) are depicted as affected and deceased in the pedigree (Fig. 1C). Both parents (V.1 and V.2) were clinically unaffected heterozygous carriers of the MYL3 c.482-1G>A splice-acceptor variant. The genotype of VI.1 could not be confirmed because DNA was unavailable.

      ParentalTesting: PCR and bidirectional Sanger sequencing confirmed that both parents (V.1 and V.2) were heterozygous carriers of MYL3 c.482-1G>A. Direct testing of the affected daughter (VI.1) was not possible because DNA was unavailable. Her homozygous genotype was therefore suspected but not confirmed (Fig. 1C; Supplementary Genetic Findings).

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0001638 (Cardiomyopathy); HP:0001645 (Sudden cardiac death).

      CaseHPOFreeText: Female diagnosed with unclassified cardiomyopathy at age 2.5 years; died of sudden cardiac death at age 8 (Family C, Fig. 1C).

      CaseNotHPOs: NR (no patient-specific negative HPO findings confirmed for VI.1).

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: The authors reported no evidence of muscle weakness by neurological examination or history among affected individuals from the three families; however, it is unclear whether this assessment specifically included VI.1.

      CasePreviousTesting: NR (no prior genetic testing reported for VI.1).

      Genotyping Method: Genetic analysis of the affected individual's mother (V.2) identified MYL3 c.482-1G>A. PCR and bidirectional Sanger sequencing validated the variant and confirmed both parents (V.1 and V.2) as heterozygous carriers. VI.1 was not directly genotyped because DNA was unavailable (Supplementary Genetic Findings; Fig. 1C and S2C).

      FunctionalAnalysis: A minigene splicing assay in human HEK293FT cells demonstrated that MYL3 c.482-1G>A causes abnormal RNA splicing. The predominant outcome (~75%) was skipping of the 78-bp exon 5, producing an in-frame deletion (p.Gly161_Glu186del). A less frequent outcome (~25%) was deletion of the first nucleotide of exon 5, causing a frameshift (p.Gly161Valfs*4). Both outcomes are predicted to disrupt EF-hand domains. The authors note that the minigene assay may not fully reflect in vivo splicing frequencies (Supplementary Results, pp. 7–8; Fig. 2E–I).

      Variant: MYL3 c.482-1G>A (rs727503300)

      ClinVar: 164486

      CAID: CA013932

      gnomAD: NR MYL3 c.482-1G>A was not found in the gnomAD v4 (GRCh38) region results at chr3:46,860,813. Allele frequency not reported for this variant in the searched dataset.

      AdditionalInfo: The affected individual (VI.1) died at age 8, and DNA was unavailable for direct genetic testing. Both clinically unaffected parents (V.1 and V.2) were confirmed heterozygous carriers of MYL3 c.482-1G>A, suggesting that VI.1 may have inherited the variant from both parents; however, her genotype remains unconfirmed. A minigene assay demonstrated that the variant disrupts RNA splicing, predominantly causing exon 5 skipping, with a less frequent frameshift-producing splicing event. These functional findings support a damaging effect of the variant but do not establish VI.1's genotype (Fig. 1C; Fig. 2E–I; Supplementary Genetic Findings and Minigene Assay Results).

    3. Case III.7, a 38-year-old female from family A, was diagnosed with HCM at the age of 26 following dyspnea. Family history was positive for HCM and occurrence of SCD in four family members (Fig. 1a).

      Case#: Family A, Case III.7; 38-year-old female; diagnosed at age 26

      DiseaseAssertion: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)

      FamilyInfo: Positive family history of HCM and SCD. Mother (II.4), brother (III.8), uncle (II.7), and cousin (III.11) died of SCD at ages 55, 26, 57, and 24, respectively. The proband's three children (IV.3, IV.4, IV.5) were homozygous for the MYL3 variant but had normal echocardiograms at ages 18, 13, and 6.

      ParentalTesting: Supplementary Table S2 reports parental testing supportive of PM3 (variants in trans). However, DNA was unavailable for the proband's deceased mother (II.4), and individual parental genotypes were not specified in the supplementary genetic findings.

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0001639 (Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy); HP:0002094 (Dyspnea); HP:0001653 (Mitral regurgitation); HP:0001712 (Left ventricular hypertrophy)

      CaseHPOFreeText: HCM diagnosed at age 26 following dyspnea. At age 38, echocardiography showed reverse-curvature HCM with asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy involving anterior, anterolateral, and lateral segments; maximum wall thickness 22 mm; severe mitral regurgitation; LVEF 55%; E/e' ratio 16.4; resting LVOT gradient 9 and post-maneuver gradient 30. Holter monitoring showed no arrhythmias (Supplementary Results, pp. 5–6; Table S1; Fig. S1).

      CaseNotHPOs: HP:0001324 (Muscle weakness)

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: Neurological evaluation revealed normal muscle tone, strength 5/5 in upper and lower limbs, no distal or proximal muscle atrophy or fasciculations, and normal creatine phosphokinase levels.

      CasePreviousTesting: Exome sequencing was performed; no rare, likely pathogenic variants in other cardiomyopathy-associated genes identified after filtering.

      Genotyping Method: Exome sequencing identified the MYL3 variant; bidirectional Sanger sequencing validated the variant. Familial genotyping supported recessive inheritance (Fig. 1a).

      FunctionalAnalysis: Zebrafish cmlc1 knockdown and rescue experiments were performed using human MYL3 RNA carrying c.170C>A (p.Ala57Asp). Mutant RNA showed partial phenotypic rescue but no statistically significant improvement in ventricular contractility compared with knockdown alone (Fig. 2a-d).

      Variant: MYL3 NM_000258.2:c.170C>A (p.Ala57Asp); homozygous missense variant; rs139794067

    1. 6

      Case#: Family #6; 36-year-old male

      DiseaseAssertion: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC); diagnosed according to the 2010 revised Task Force Criteria

      FamilyInfo: Family #6. No informative segregation evidence specifically linking the MYL3 variant to ARVC was reported. The authors noted that family screening was incomplete or normal in other families, but did not specify which circumstance applied to Family #6.

      ParentalTesting: NR

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0006682 (PVCs)

      CaseHPOFreeText: Symptomatic presentation; major right ventricular structural abnormality; minor ECG repolarization criterion; 1,181 ventricular ectopic beats on Holter monitoring; sustained ventricular arrhythmia (specific rhythm not reported).

      CaseNotHPOs: HP:0001279 (Syncope); HP:0005162 (Abnormal left ventricular function)

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: No cardiac syncope or left ventricular dysfunction reported. Absence of cardiac syncope does not necessarily exclude every form of syncope.

      CasePreviousTesting: No pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants identified in established ARVC-associated genes (PKP2, DSG2, DSP, DSC2, JUP, TMEM43, PLN, SCN5A). Subsequent screening included nine sarcomere genes: ACTC1, MYBPC3, MYH7, MYL2, MYL3, TNNC1, TNNI3, TNNT2, and TPM1. The study used broad genetic testing, including whole-exome sequencing in a subset of probands; whether Family #6 underwent whole-exome sequencing was not specified.

      Genotyping Method: Sarcomere-gene sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis through clinical cardiomyopathy panels, research-based next-generation sequencing panels, or whole-exome sequencing. The exact initial platform for Family #6 was not specified. Identified variants were confirmed by PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing.

      FunctionalAnalysis: NR

      Variant: MYL3 NM_000258.2:c.461G>A (p.Arg154His); missense variant; exon 4

      AdditionalInfo: Murray et al. (2018), Tables 1 and 2, Family #6. The MYL3 variant was classified as likely pathogenic (LP) according to ACMG criteria, with a PolyPhen-2 score of 0.861. The proband met criteria for definite ARVC, with no reported left ventricular dysfunction. Although the variant was rare and computationally predicted to be damaging, the authors emphasized that evidence demonstrating a causal relationship between sarcomere variants and ARVC remained insufficient. No direct functional analysis of this variant was performed in the study.

      Case1: Male, 37 years old, Colombian

      DiseaseAssertion: asymmetric septal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

      FamilyInfo: During genetic assessment, a family history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was detected. The patient’s mother had HCM and died at the age of 66; two living brothers have HCM (51 and 60 years of age). In addition, two of his brothers under the age of 35 died suddenly, two more brothers died from an unknown cause before the age of 5, and yet another brother is being examined for possible heart disease. Findings indicated a dominant inheritance pattern for HCM in this family. Pedigree shown in Figure 2.

      CaseHPOFreeText: At the age of 25, his symptomatology started, including intense fatigue and mild thoracic pain due to physical activity. At the age of 32, an echocardiogram revealed asymmetric septal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The thickness of the interventricular septum was 19.5 mm in the basal third, 22 mm in the middle third, and 23 mm in the apical third, and ventricular tachycardia was also present. Alcohol septal ablation was performed. However, ventricular tachycardia and disabling symptoms persisted, so he required an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator at the age of 35. A routine echocardiogram at the age of 36 yielded the following findings: an LV of normal size, mild hypertrophy of the septum, normal systolic function, and diastolic dysfunction with slow LV relaxation. The patient still suffers dyspnea during physical effort and occasionally thoracic pain with palpitations

    1. The proband was a 63-year-old woman who presented to the outpatient department in July 2025 with a 7-day history of palpitations. She had been admitted to a local hospital seven days earlier due to sudden-onset palpitations.

      Case#: Single proband ; 63-year-old female; palpitations at presentation July 2025; HCM diagnosis established at age 63

      DiseaseAssertion: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) complicated by apical left ventricular aneurysm and mid-ventricular obstruction⁠

      FamilyInfo: No family history of cardiac disease or sudden cardiac death at a young age reported. Both parents deceased (one of cancer, one of natural causes at age 92), neither with reported cardiovascular disease; proband has no siblings. Only first-degree relative is her son, who carries the KCNJ5 c.464G>A variant but not the MYBPC3 c.278delA variant, and has a normal echocardiogram with no myocardial hypertrophy. No pedigree beyond the son (Fig. 3B).⁠

      ParentalTesting: Not performed; both parents deceased, no DNA available; authors state a valid familial segregation analysis could not be performed. Only one family member (son) was available for cascade Sanger screening.⁠

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0001639 (Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy); HP:0001649 (Tachycardia), palpitations; HP:0001712 (Left ventricular hypertrophy).

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: No history of hypertension, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia. Phenocopies excluded: no extra-cardiac manifestations of Fabry disease and GLA testing negative; cardiac amyloidosis excluded (no apical sparing, normal serum free light chains, negative serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation); no significant coronary stenosis on coronary CT angiography. No QT prolongation or features of Andersen–Tawil syndrome on ECG.

      CasePreviousTesting: Whole exome sequencing identified both variants; all rare and known variants validated by Sanger sequencing, with cascade Sanger screening in available one family member. No prior genetic testing reported before this episode.

      Genotyping Method: Targeted region capture with next-generation high-throughput sequencing (whole exome, exonic plus flanking regions); variants confirmed by bidirectional Sanger sequencing. Cascade screening by Sanger in the son. MYBPC3 variant absent from 1000 Genomes, ESP6500, ExAC, and the Besuper local database. KCNJ5 variant absent from 1000 Genomes and ESP6500, ExAC frequency, absent from local Basenhall controls.⁠

      FunctionalAnalysis: None performed; authors list absence of functional studies and lack of mRNA-level validation as limitations. MYBPC3 frameshift predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated decay.⁠

      Variant: MYBPC3 NM_000256.3:c.278delA (p.Lys93ArgfsTer3); heterozygous; exon 2; novel, not in ClinVar or HGMD; classified Likely Pathogenic by ACMG (PVS1, PM2). Second variant: KCNJ5 NM_000256.3:c.464G>A (p.Arg155Gln); heterozygous; exon 2; novel, not in ClinVar or HGMD; classified VUS (PM2, PP3). Note the paper's KCNJ5 accession is written as NM_000256.3, which is the MYBPC3 transcript, most likely a typo in the article Pepper please conform for me the correct KCNJ5 accession

      ClinVar: No ClinVar record for either variant; nearby KCNJ5 missense variants c.451G>A, c.452G>A, c.470T>G, and c.473C>G are documented as pathogenic/likely pathogenic for long QT syndrome or aldosteronism, and downstream frameshift/nonsense variants at the MYBPC3 locus are classified pathogenic or likely pathogenic.

    1. Figure 6. Functional study of synonymous mutations in VHL E2. (A) Functional hypoxia response element (HRE)–dependent reporter assays were performed in 786-O cells to evaluate the impact of VHL mutations in E2 (P138L and G144R) on VHL protein activity. The VHL protein lacking E2 (pVHL172/VHLΔE2) was used as a negative control. The results are expressed as firefly luciferase activity relative to Renilla luciferase as an internal control; 1.0 unit denotes the basal activity of endogenous HIF-2α using the HRE luciferase reporter plasmid. Immunoblots using an antibody specific for the hemagglutinin tag (HA) were used to detect HA-VHL. (B) Characterization of VHL E2 skipping by minigene analyses. Minigene experiments were performed in a variety of cell lines relevant to the studied diseases: renal (293T, 786-O, and HK2), pheochromocytoma (pheo; PC12), erythroid cell line (UT7 cultured with erythropoietin), and LCL. RT-PCR was performed on mRNA obtained from cell lines transfected with a minigene construct containing VHL E2 flanked by intronic sequences cloned between the SERPING1 exons (exons A and B; targeted by the RT-PCR primers). Bands corresponding to EA and EB spliced together or with VHL E2 are indicated on the right. (C) Sashimi plots from RNA-seq data.

    3. c.429C>T/c.429C>T

      The authors identify a new VHL cryptic exon (termed E1') deep in intron 1 that is naturally expressed in many tissues. Mutations in E1' are identified in 7 families with erythrocytosis and in 1 large family with typical VHL disease but without any alteration in the other VHL exons. In this study, the authors show that the mutations in E1' induced a dysregulation of VHL splicing with excessive retention of E1' and were associated with a downregulation of VHL protein expression. Patient II.1 (family F9) was found to have the germline variant D143= (c.429C>T). The patient was diagnosed with erythrocytosis at 5 months old (DOB: 1997). This variant is homozygous in the patient. This patient was also found to have the HB Sitia germline variant. Both asymptomatic parents were genetically sequenced and found to be carriers of the variant. Patient II.1 (family F10) was also found to have this variant. This patient was diagnosed with erythrocytosis (Polycythemia) and splenomegaly at 4.5 years old (DOB: 2002). This patient was also found to have the Beta Thalassemia germline variant. This patient’s asymptomatic patients were both found to be carriers of the same variant in VHL. Their other child (II.2) also carried the gene. Patient II.1 was the only one who was homozygous for the variant.

      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 3 (patient 3) had a Glu94Lys missense mutation (c.280G>A) 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).

    1. VHL germline variants

      Pathogenic variants from 10,389 individuals across 33 cancer types were examined from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort. 12 of these individuals had a germline mutation in the VHL gene. The Y98H (c.292T>C) missense VHL mutation was found in three white males aged 65Y0M, 31Y0M, and 23Y0M, who were all diagnosed with either pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. No family information was provided for any of the patients.

    1. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from 10 mL of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-treated peripheral blood samples using the Nucleosopin Blood Mini Kit (MACHEREY–NAGEL GmbH & Co. KG, Düren, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The following seven genes were analysed: MAX ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_002382.5","term_id":"1653960896","term_text":"NM_002382.5"}}NM_002382.5), SDHB ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_003000.3","term_id":"1732746310","term_text":"NM_003000.3"}}NM_003000.3), SDHC ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_003001.5","term_id":"1779948875","term_text":"NM_003001.5"}}NM_003001.5), SDHD ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_003002.4","term_id":"1519245278","term_text":"NM_003002.4"}}NM_003002.4), TMEM127 ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_017849.4","term_id":"1777425445","term_text":"NM_017849.4"}}NM_017849.4), VHL ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_000551.3","term_id":"319655736","term_text":"NM_000551.3"}}NM_000551.3), and exons 10, 11 and 13–16 of the RET ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_020630.4","term_id":"126273513","term_text":"NM_020630.4"}}NM_020630.4) proto-oncogene. A priority order was used for genetic analysis according to previous recommendations [5,6]. For instance, VHL and RET genes were analysed with priority for bilateral PCC, SDHB gene for retroperitoneum PGL or metastatic PCC/PGL, and SDHD gene for head and neck PGL. When a pathogenic variant was found in one of these genes, no further testing was performed in the remaining genes. After performing PCR using gel electrophoresis for each primer pair, Sanger sequencing was outsourced to a commercial service provider (Eurofins Genomics, Ota-ku, Tokyo, Japan) to detect variants, and the results were analysed at our department. The primers used for the PCR amplification are listed in Table S5. When no P/LP variant was found by the Sanger sequencing, all exons of the SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD gene were reanalysed using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) to examine copy number variation. The MLPA assay was carried out by a commercial service provider (FALCO Biosystems Ltd., Kumiyama, Kyoto, Japan). The sequence results were analysed using Sequence Scanner Software v2.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and CLC Sequence Viewer 8.0 software (QIAGEN, Aarhus C, Denmark).

    1. Genetic testingThe proband’s maternal aunt, who lived a significant distance away had genetic testing; no pathogenic mutation was detected in either BRCA 1 or BRCA2 genes. A variant identified in the VHL gene c.74C>T(p.Pro25Leu) was thought to be pathogenic at the time, and the extended family was advised that family testing was available. On this basis, our proband was offered testing for the family-specific variant. The DNA sample obtained from the patient was independently amplified and sequenced in opposite directions from exon 1 of the VHL gene. Analysis of this exon has not detected the c.74C>T variant. Soon thereafter, this variant was revised as unlikely to be pathogenic.Subsequently, his aunt had next-generation sequencing (NGS) for MAX, RET, SDHAF2, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127 and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) for VHL, SDHA, MAX, SDHB, SDHC and SDHC. No pathogenic mutation was detected.Our proband was offered MLPA and NGS for VHL and TP53. Complete sequence screening of all coding exons and intron–exon boundaries of the TP53 gene did not reveal the presence of a pathogenic variant. In MLPA, none of the tested exons showed a significant deviation from the normal range of the tested population, and duplicate tests were concordantly indicating a normal copy number.Following his disease progression and with the recent diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer as well as papillary urothelial cancer and the availability of broader panel testing, testing of72 cancer predisposition genes was offered for him. The heterozygous pathogenic variant, CHEK21100delC was found.

    1. Case studies of three families affected by VHL and their children were described. The legacy mutation C712T in VHL was found in three members of family 1. The father was 48Y when he was found to have renal cell carcinoma and bilateral pheochromocytoma after initially presenting with loin pain, pyrexia and haematuria. He died one year after diagnosis despite chemotherapy treatments. His son was diagnosed with and treated for bilateral pheochromocytoma at 13Y and endolymphatic sac tumors at 19Y after noting tinnitus, increasing hearing difficulties in his left ear since the age of 16. The son had a sister who tested positive for the mutation and appears to be asymptomatic. It is unclear whether the mother and the second son were negative for the mutation or were not tested.

      Case: F, Age Unknown, Ethnicity Unknown

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: This patient's fourth oldest sister had bilateral retinal angiomas, metastatic islet cell cancer, liver lesions, pancreatic endocrine tumours, and cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Her third oldest sister had a pancreatic head tumour and bilateral renal cysts. Her youngest sister had bilateral angiomas, liver lesions, and metastatic islet cell cancer. The oldest sister did not carry the mutation or have any abnormal presentations. The patient's mother was found to harbor the mutation and had retinal angiomas, bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma, and pancreatic cysts. The patient's maternal grandmother was suspected to have VHL as she developed progressive blindness at age 32 and was completely blind by age 36. She died at age 68 due to an acute hemorrhage into and around a vascular tumour. The patient's maternal aunt died suddenly at age 51 due to a cerebellar hemangioblastoma. One of the aunt's children died at age 25 due to a cerebellar hemangioblastoma and another had bilateral retinal angiomas and multiple pancreatic cysts. Refer to Figure 1 for pedigree.

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0030405, HP:0000107, HP:0000138 (pancreatic endocrine tumour, Renal cyst, Ovarian cyst)

      CaseHPOFreeText: The patient initially only presented with bilateral small ovarian cysts. On follow up four years later, it was found that she had two hypervascular pancreatic head tumours <1cm in diameter, a complex left renal cyst, and enlarged ovarian cysts. A pancreaticoduodenectomy and left heminephrectomy was performed, revealing two <1-cm islet cell tumours and a complex renal cyst with severe cellular atypia but no invasive maligancy.
