    1. p.R167Q/W

      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 R167W (c.499C>T) missense VHL mutation was found in two individuals, a white 67Y0M female diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma, as well as a white 19Y0M female diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. No family information was provided.

    1. (R167W)

      A 64 year old female was found to have a germline VHL missense mutation (Arg167Trp). The paper does not provide any information about nucleotide change. The patient presented with a large suprasellar hemangioblastoma, and had a documented past history of severe VHL disease, with bilateral ccRCC, bilateral pheochromocytomas, pancreatic cysts, retinal hemangioblastomas, and multiple CNS hemangioblastomas. No information about patient family history was provided. Neurological exam was significant for Romberg sign and mild dysmetria of bilateral upper extremities. A visual field test of the left eye revealed new onset inferior temporal quadrantanopsia. MRI confirmed a suprasellar hemangioblastoma within the circle of Willis with increased optic tract edema and compression of the optic chiasm. Left eye extraocular movements and pupillary reaction intact. The patient was treated with octoreotide for 9 months, leading to resultant clinical stability and decreased tumor volume.

    2. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations using SSCP analysis of PCR products by peripheral blood. The R161 (c.481C>T) mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by R161 (c.694C>T) due to a difference in transcript sequence. This nonsense mutation was found in 2 unrelated, German families. One VHL type 1 family of 2 affected individuals had one patient with retinal angiomas, 2 with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, one with renal cell carcinoma and renal cysts, one with pancreatic cysts, and one with cystadenomas of the epididymis (family VHL 32). Another VHL type 1 family of 3 affected individuals had 3 patients with retinal angiomas, one with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, 2 with renal cysts and renal cell carcinoma, one with pancreatic cysts, and one with cystadenomas of the epididymis (family VHL 49). ACMG codes as follows: A nonsense mutation in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1). Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease (PP1). HPO terms: papillary cystadenomas of the broad ligament.

    3. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations. The mutation of c.464-1G>A was referred to in the paper by c.677-1G>A due to a difference in transcript sequence. This splice mutation was found in a German, VHL type 1 patient with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system (family VHL 48). This study contains very strong evidence of pathogenicity in the form of a canonical -1 splice site variant in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (ACMG code: PVS1).

    1. C.481C > T, p.Arg161Stop

      Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-direct sequencing and universal primer quantitative fluorescent multiplex–PCR, mutations in VHL gene in 19 VHL disease families recruited from the Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital in the period from 2009 to 2012 were examined. Two probands were found to carry the mutation c.481C>T in exon 3 of the VHL gene leading to an early stop codon. The first proband was from family 14 and presented with hemangioblastoma and renal cell carcinoma at age 29. At age 33, the patient presented with pancreatic cysts or tumours. The patient had positive VHL family history and his father had a hemangioblastoma of the central nervous system at age 42. He was deceased before diagnosis could occur. The other proband was from family 15 and had no VHL family history. The patient presented with hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, and pancreatic cysts or tumours at age 39. Both of these families were previously published in 29330336.

    1. We previously reported a case of VHL with a germline VHL mutation, 233 A > T, who underwent total pancreatectomy for multiple SCNs and right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma [8]. Herein, we report that this case developed multiple metachronous liver metastases of the SCN after the initial operation and underwent surgical resections for the metastases. This patient has been alive without any recurrence more than 6 years after the metastasectomies.

      A 35-year old woman was diagnosed with VHL due to clinical presentation of pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm and renal cell carcinoma at age 35, and cerebellar hemangioblastomas that were surgically removed at age 21. She had no family history. Genetic testing performed for her previous case report (PMID: 21673464) revealed a N78I (c.233A>T) missense mutation in the VHL gene. The patient had previously underwent total pancreatectomy and right nephrectomy for pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm (SCN) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), respectively. Since her surgery, she had follow-up examinations performed every 6 months. At the 4th year follow up, tumors in the liver were detected by CT scan and radiographically diagnosed as metastases of the pancreatic SCN or RCC. 53 months after the initial surgery, partial resections of the liver were performed. Immunohistochemical findings of the resected liver tumour were similar to the primary pancreatic SCN, and not the RCC. Thus, the liver tumors were pathologically diagnosed as liver metastases of the pancreatic SCN. After the second surgery, follow up examinations continued to be performed every 6 months. At the first follow-up, 3 tumors in the liver were detected by CT and MRI. After 6 months, no increase in the number of tumours were detected. Anterior segmentectomy and partial resection of segment III of the liver were done 66 months after 1st surgery and 13 months after second surgery, respectively. Again, morphology and immunohistochemical findings of the resected tumors again were similar to the primary pancreatic SCN, thus diagnosed as multiple metachronous liver metastases of pancreatic SCN. Since then the patient has remained disease-free without any recurrence after the third operation for 6.5 years until the last follow-up.

      CaseHPOFreeText: Patient presented with right sided neck mass that had been causing discomfort for two months. MRI showed a 9-mm rim-enhancing lesion in the right parotid that prompted consideration of malignancy. A parotidectomy revealed a well-demarcated 0.7-cm cyst filled with thick, white to translucent, mucoid material. Histologic examination demonstrated that the cystic tumor with an invasive but well-circumscribed border. The majority of the neoplasm was cystic, and there was no necrosis, appreciable mitotic activity, or cellular pleomorphism or anaplasia, indicative of a low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma. She previously had surgical excision of hemangioblastomas of the brain and spinal cord as well as resection of a pheochromocytoma of the left adrenal gland. Additionally, she also had been followed for 2 small pancreatic nodules that were subsequently found to be neuroendocrine tumors. The patient ended up requiring a partial pancreatectomy for a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour related to her VHL disease.

    2. glutamine for arginine at codon 167 (R167Q),

      A case report of a 42-year-old woman genetically confirmed with c.500G>A (p.Arg167Gln) in the VHL gene and type 2A VHL disease presented with two CNS hemangioblastomas (brain and spinal cord), left pheochromocytoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and presented with a parotid mucoepidermoid carcinoma at age 42. The R167Q mutation was previously diagnosed using a blood test at age 34. Using the TruSeq Amplicon Cancer Panel to sequence the patient's tumor specimen, it was found that the patient had a second somatic VHL mutation at codon 105 (p.T105M). The patient had a positive family history, with her mother and children having VHL disease; no additional information on phenotype and genotype for family members was provided.

    1. A 34-year-old man with a history of VHL and NF1 was referred to dermatology for evaluation and management of multiple bleeding papules. The papules were tender, and the bleeding caused his pillowcases to be soaked in blood. He reported many similar papules previously in various anatomical locations. Removal of prior lesions was successful and did not cause satellitosis. New papules would appear gradually over years, and at the time of the visit, 6 papules were bothersome because of intermittent bleeding.The patient was given the diagnosis of NF1 based on clinical findings that were first noted in childhood including multiple café au lait macules, axillary freckling, and Lisch nodules. VHL was suspected after magnetic resonance imaging showed hemangioblastoma of the left cerebellum during evaluation of sensorineural hearing loss. VHL was subsequently confirmed by mutation analysis (P81S mutation). Central nervous system hemangioblastoma is the most common tumor in VHL and was present in the patient. He did not have any additional tumors or cysts in the central nervous system or visceral organs that are common in VHL, which include retinal hemangioblastomas, renal cell carcinoma and cysts, pheochromocytomas, and pancreatic tumors and cysts.5 The patient did not have family history of NF1 or VHL. Medications included dextroamphetamine for attention deficit disorder.On physical examination, the lesions of concern were exophytic, red, vascular papules located on the right jawline, front of the right shoulder, left lower aspect of the back, and right lower aspect of the back, consistent with lobular capillary hemangiomas (Fig 1). These were painful with slight pressure. Several other similar, although smaller, papules were noted on the trunk. On the face, trunk, and extremities there were at least 20 scattered well-defined, ovoid, light-brown macules. Involving the chest, abdomen, and back were multiple discrete 4- to 8-mm subcutaneous rubbery-soft nodules (Fig 2). Axillary freckling was noted on both axilla and the groin. The patient returned to the dermatology clinic 4 months later with new growing and bleeding vascular papules in new locations; they were similar to those removed at the initial visit and consistent with lobular capillary hemangiomas.

The patient was given the diagnosis of NF1 based on clinical findings that were first noted in childhood including multiple café au lait macules, axillary freckling, and Lisch nodules. VHL was suspected after magnetic resonance imaging showed hemangioblastoma of the left cerebellum during evaluation of sensorineural hearing loss. On the face, trunk, and extremities there were at least 20 scattered well-defined, ovoid, light-brown macules. Involving the chest, abdomen, and back were multiple discrete 4- to 8-mm subcutaneous rubbery-soft nodules. Axillary freckling was noted on both axilla and the groin.

Of 16 patients presenting with clinical VHL features that underwent genetic testing, one presented with the c.250G>T mutation of the VHL gene (stated as c.463G>T in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). Peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected and products of the polymerase chain reaction performed on this sample were analyzed with single-stranded conformational polymorphism analysis (SSCP), PCR sequencing and Southern analysis. This missense mutation was confirmed using restriction fragment length polymorphism or allele-specific oligonucleotide analysis. This patient has a family history of multiple tumor types indicative of VHL disease. The patient presented with a retinal angiomata, hemangioblastoma and pheochromocytoma.

    2. 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 V166F (c.496G>T) was one of the 15 found in a patient with PPGL. Their family history or further manifestations were not detailed.

      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 2a) with Renal Cell Carcinoma, CNS/Retinal Hemangioblastoma, Pancreatic cysts, and PanNET was found to have a germline missense variant N78S(c.233A>G) in exon 1 of the VHL gene. A relative (Patient 2b) was found to carry the same mutation with the same clinical presentation, except with additional Paraganglioma.

      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.

    2. 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 (R113* (c.337C>T)) was taken from the Munich, university of Freiburg and Institute of Pathology database and the Cambridge, Department of Pathology database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family IDs 55CE, 136CA and 30CA. It was reported in the paper as c.550C>T due to a difference in transcript reference. As reported in Table 3, this mutation is found in VHL families (55CE, 136CA) without pheochromocytoma, and with renal cell carcinoma. Additionally, table 5 lists all ID and mutations associated with individuals without detailed clinical information (including family 30CA). Other phenotypes are possible, however not detailed here.

    1. nt 506 A to C, Tyr to Ser

      Fourty-four of 389 patients with VHL (between 1988-1999) screened positive for PNETs either by pathologic analysis of tissue specimens or by characteristic radiographic appearance on CT and MRI. VHL gene germline mutations were determined by quantitative Southern blotting to detect deletions of the gene and gene rearrangements as well as complete gene sequencing. One patient (21), a 23 year old female, was found to harbour the c.293A>C mutation in the VHL gene (stated as 506 A to C in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference) leading to an amino acid change of Tyr to Ser at protein position 98. She presented with two pathologic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    2. nt 712 C to T, Arg to Trp

      Fourty-four of 389 patients with VHL (between 1988-1999) screened positive for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs) either by pathologic analysis of tissue specimens or by characteristic radiographic appearance on CT and MRI. VHL gene germline mutations were determined by quantitative Southern blotting to detect deletions of the gene and gene rearrangements as well as complete gene sequencing. Eight patients presented with the c.499C>T VHL gene mutation (stated as 712 C to T in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference) causing a change of Arg to Trp at protein position 167. From family 3407, patients 30 (50-year-old male) and 31 (33-year-old male) both presented with a single radiologic PNET. From family 2301, patient 32 (34-year-old female) presented with two pathologic PNETs with metastases, and patient 33 (20-year-old female) presented with a single pathologic PNET with metastases. Unrelated patients 34 (43-year-old female), patient 35 (20-year-old female), and patient 36 (27-year-old female), all presented with three pathologic PNETs. Unrelated patient 37 (46-year-old female) presented with a single pathologic PNET. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP1' since we have co-segregation with the disease in multiple affected family members (family 3407, 5069, and 2301), 'PP4' since the patients' present phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    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 frameshift mutation was found in a VHL type 1 family (lineage 175). The variant was reported as c.393delG (AF010238.1) and was mapped to V62Cfs*5 (c.180del) (NM_000551.3). This family is stated as being previously reported in PMID 7728151 and/or 8956040. Both these reports include a family presenting with this variant and it is unclear if one or both coincide with the current family.

    1. PatientsThe Chinese family study included five-generations comprising of 38 living family members, of whom nine were affected [Figure 1]. All living members were examined clinically. The clinical and radiographic images were published with the consent of the patient. The study was approved by the research Ethics Committees of Xi’an Jiaotong University School of Medicine. Written informed consents were obtained from all participants.Open in a separate windowFigure 1Haplotypes of the Chinese family affected by Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL). The open and filled blackened symbols indicated unaffected and affected individuals, respectively. The squares and circles symbolized the males and females, respectively. The proband, IV-3, was indicated by an arrow. The haplotyping was conducted using three polymorphic microsatellite markers. The marker order was determined from the Marshfield map and the UCSC Human Genome database (February 2009). The dark boxes symbolized haplotypes that cosegregated with the affected individuals and suggested linkage of VHL to disease in this family. The boxes with slash symbolized the dead family members.

    3. c.235C > G p.Arg79Gly

      216 patients with clinically expected VHL disease due to family history or presence of VHL typical tumours were routinely examined in an eye centre in Germany between January 2019 and January 2020, majority of which were of European descent (~95%). Since data on the genotype–phenotype correlation of the onset of Retinal Hemangioblastoma (RH) is scarce in relation to VHL disease, this study wanted to inversitage the relationship between VHL gene variants (truncating vs single amino acid substitutions) and the ocular phenotype of the disease. 42 different rare VHL gene variants in 148 patients were detected - some of whom had RH and some who did not. Although date of onset of RH, as well as data on central nervous system haemangioblastomas (CNSH), pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL), clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PNEN) were collected, it was not reported on a per patient basis and therefore could not be discussed per variant. There were 2 patients reported with the p.R79G (c.235C>G) mutation. One member presented with retinal hemangiomas, while the other did not - however no other clinical manifestations were discussed. Additionally, no family information was provided.

    1. c.233A>G

      Of 31 Brazilian patients, one was found to harbour the c.233A>G (p.Asn78Ser) mutation of the VHL gene. Genomic DNA was extracted and all VHL coding regions were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. MLPA was performed to investigate large deletions using SALSA® MLPA® P016 VHL probe mix. Data analysis was performed with Genescan 3.7. This patient, age 33, presented with a paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, pancreatic endocrine tumor, renal cell carcinoma, renal cyst, pancreatic cyst and a CNS hemangioblastoma. It is not clear if this mutation is familial. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patients present phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    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.

    3. 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.

    1. The possible involvement of mutations in the VHL gene in aneurysm formation was supported by the fact that deregulations of various proteins and mediators occur in VHL disease that are involved in maintaining the structure of the arterial wall,18, 19, 20 including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), collagen type III, fibronectin, elastase, laminin, alpha-1 antitrypsin, fibroblast growth factor, transforming growth factor (TGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), polycystin, fibrillin,18 and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF).19, 20 Figure 2 reviews the effects that potentially facilitate aneurysm formation. Therefore, we investigated 200 patients with intracranial aneurysms and 100 probands of a random sample of the normal population for sequence variations in the VHL tumor suppressor gene using DHPLC.
    2. c.74C > T (exon 1)

      200 patients with intracranial aneurysms were molecularly analyzed for VHL to determine if it is a candidate gene for aneurysm formation using peripheral blood. One patient was analyzed in detail and determined to have the above mutation (74C>T). The patient was only recorded to have an intracranial aneurysm (or dilatation of the cerebral artery).

    1. Direct sequencing revealed a known mutation of a base pair change at nucleotide 473 in exon 3 (T473T/C) of the VHL gene, resulting in the amino acid change Leu158Pro.

      A 20-year-old male was admitted to the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University in 1998 and was found with a cerebral hemangioblastoma. He went on to develop another hemangioblastoma 3 years later. In 2012, the 34Y old patient was found with RCC, pancreatic cysts, and an assumed pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood leukocytes and PCR determined a germline p.Leu158Pro mutation in the VHL gene. There was a recorded family history of VHL disease, with the patient’s mother, grandmother, two uncles and three aunts also suffering from the disease. Additionally, one uncle had succumbed to RCC and five other individuals in the family had succumbed to cerebral hemangioblastomas. Whether these family members had other VHL phenotypes is unclear.

    1. In a study of 426 unrelated VHL patients, 111 were discovered to have alterations in the VHL gene. 18 novel variants were identified in VHL patients, but none were present in 200 unaffected control individuals. DNA samples from peripheral blood leukocytes underwent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), and direct sequence analysis of the entire coding sequence and intron-exon boundaries. The L178P (c.533T>C) germline missense mutation of the VHL gene was found in a 14 yr old VHL patient with retinal hemangioblastomas, multiple pancreatic cysts or tumors, pheochromocytoma, and multiple renal cysts (index case 160).

    2. 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, in addition to several cases published elsewhere. Peripheral blood leukocytes were isolated and directly sequenced. This revealed a germline nonsense mutation in the VHL gene (c.217C>T; p.Gln73*) in 3 patients. Patient 12, 41Y female, presenting with RCC (no data available for hemangioblastoma) and her daughter, presenting with CNS hemangioblastoma. Data on the mother was originally published by Seo et al. in 2006, J Korean Soc Endocrinol and was translated into English by the current study. Patient 11, 37Y female previously reported in PMID 19270817, presenting with multiple CNS hemangioblastomas, renal cell carcinoma and a family history positive for VHL. All patients were diagnosed with VHL Type 1.

    1. Patient P8 In October 2019, visual impairment was diagnosed in a 14-year-old boy. BCVA was 20/20 and 20/640 in OD and OS, respectively. Four peripheral RCHs were detected in OD. In OS, multiple RCHs were present; the largest was located temporally, and it consisted in the coalescence of many RCHs. The visual impairment of OS was due to the severe exudative process which involved the macula. Moreover, FA revealed numerous microhemangioblastomas that could not be detected using other diagnostic techniques. Laser therapy was performed in OU, but vitreous hemorrhage occurred in OS. Therefore, three anti-VEGF IV (bevacizumab) and simultaneous transscleral cryotherapies were performed under general anesthesia. Many laser sessions were necessary to obtain regression of the RCHs. Further investigations revealed the presence of a cerebellar hemangioblastoma.

Four peripheral RCHs were detected in the right eye. The visual impairment of the left eye was due to the severe exudative process involving the macula. Moreover, numerous microhemangioblastomas were revealed by fluorescein angiography. Laser therapy was performed in both eyes, but vitreous hemorrhage occurred in the left eye. Bevacizumab was given three times, as well simultaneous cryotherapies were performed under general anesthesia. Many laser sessions were performed for regression of the RCHs to occur.

    1. In this study, we analyzed the correlations between frequent mutations in the VHL gene and clinical phenotypes in the largest Chinese VHL cohort to date. In total, we screened 540 patients from 187 unrelated VHL families and identified 126 different VHL mutations. Furthermore, we identified 19 frequent mutations and four mutation hotspots and further investigated the genotype–phenotype correlations. Notably, patients or families with the VHL disease have a range of different phenotypes. A variety of factors may contribute to this diversity of phenotypes, including the type of VHL mutation, the site of the mutation, and ethnic background.

      540 patients from 187 unrelated Chinese VHL families at the Peking University First Hospital were all screened for VHL clinical features and germline mutations. Of these, clinical characteristics were observed in 258 patients from 80 unrelated Chinese families. These were reported in this study, grouped by the 21 mutations found. PCR and MLPA on peripheral blood detected the VHL mutations. Possessing the c.464-1G>C mutation, 11 members total from 2 families were described, and phenotypic information was given for this group. With ages of onset ranging from 10-66Y, hemangioblastomas were observed in 6/11 members, renal cell carcinoma in 4, pancreatic cysts in 4, and a papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis genital system tumor (epididymis or broad ligament) in 1 member. These families have been previously published: see more information in PMID 29330336 (2 families of 11 people total), and PMID 28388566 (as family #52 (9 members), and #53 (2 members)).

    2. In our study, group 5 represented the c.262T > C p.Trp88Arg mutation that included 21 patients from 2 families (Figure 4 and Table 3). Variability was observed in the mean age at onset for CHB and RCC, which were 41.1 ± 9.1 (range = 29–62) and 37.4 ± 12.9 (range = 23–65), respectively.

    1. 454 C>T transition

      Study of a German family of 16 family members with cosegregation of the pheochromocytoma-only phenotype with two concurrent germline mutations in the VHL protein alpha and beta domains. These mutations were c.562 C>T (stated as 775C>G in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference) and c.241C>T (stated as 454C>T in the paper). Patient 1 was unaffected and had the wild-type allele. His spouse, patient 2, presented with pheochromocytoma and had both mutations. They had four children; one had a pheochromocytoma and died, two (patients 5 and 7) had both mutations and presented with pheochromocytomas, and one child (patient 6) was unaffected and carried neither mutation. Patient 7 had a child (patient 9) who also carried both mutations and presented with pheochromocytoma. In the other branch of the family, patient 3 who carried both mutations and presented with pheochromocytoma had a child with patient 4 who was unaffected. Their child (patient 8) carried both mutations and presented with pheochromocytoma. Patient 8 had two children; one who did not carry the mutation and was unaffected (patient 10) and another that carried both mutations but was disease-free (patient 11). DNA was isolated with whole blood and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and dye terminator method on an ABI Prism 310 genetic analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Weiterstadt, Germany) were used for sequencing. Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease (ACMG code: PP1).

      301 were enrolled in a prospective clinical protocol to evaluate the natural history of vHL-associated pancreatic lesions (NCT00062166). Of these, 69 patients with pancreatic manifestations of vHL disease and missense VHL mutations were included in the current study. Individual patient phenotype was not described, but overall of the 60 patients, 57 had RCC, 41 had CNS hemangioblastomas, 28 had retinal hemangioblastoma, 23 had pheochromocytoma. 36/69 patients were female and the mean age was 50.5 years old. All patients underwent genetic testing using Sanger sequencing and Southern Blotting. One patient was listed with this missense mutation, c.278G>T.

    3. 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.F136S(c.407T>C) was identified in patient #45. This mutation was noted as c.620T>C in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used (see Table S1). No family information is available for this patient.

      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 patients was found to have the above mutation (c.593T>A). They had a VHL patient with an ICT (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor) taken from the VHL-registry. 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.

    2. Whole blood samples and PCR and SSCP was used to investigate a family in Kuwait with Arabian and Persian genetic admixture. The germline VHL mutation p.Trp117Cys was found in a second extended von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) family. The mutation c.351G>T was referred to in the paper by c.564G>T due to a difference in transcript sequence. The index patient, III-9, presented with a history of VHL syndrome: CNS hemangioblastoma, spinal hemangioblastoma, retinal hemangioblastoma, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, and renal cell carcinoma. The clinical history of all other patients revealed multiple CNS hemangioblastomas in various organs and renal cell carcinoma without pheochromocytomas. One affected member of the family (III-8) had a bladder tumor and an unspecified brain tumor in addition. Index patient's Persian grandmother had VHL (hemangioblastoma and renal cell carcinoma), 5/6 of her children (2 females, 3 males), and 7/20 of her grandchildren (4 females, 3 males) including the index patient. All affected members of the family, lacked any evidence of pheochromocytoma, leading to the categorization of this family as VHL type 1. This mutation was found in all patients with clinical diagnoses but in none of the healthy members of the family or in the 55 healthy control subjects. ACMG: PP4, PP1

    1. 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 missense (c.388G>T) mutation in the VHL gene. 2 other relatives were also evaluated and found to have the same mutation but no phenotypes were described. This variant was reported as c.601G>T (AF010238.1) and mapped to p.V130F (c.388G>T) (NM_000551.3).

    1. Thirteen patients with supratentorial hemangioblastoma were studied at Le Kremlin-Bicêtre University. Other phenotypes included: 6 patients with pancreatic cysts, 1 patient with an endocrine pancreatic tumor, 5 patients with renal cell carcinoma, 3 patients with pheochromocytoma, and 6 patients with retina hemangioblastomas, although specific phenotypes for each patient was not described. Blood samples were isolated from patients and the coding sequence and flanking intronic sequences were directly sequenced. Quantitative Southern blotting and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification studies were performed to detect large genomic rearrangements. Patient 8 (male) had a germline VHL p.Arg161* mutation. The patient had a meckel cave hemangioblastoma at age 28 and a papillary edema and pituitary stalk hemangioblastoma at age 34.

      A study of 34 Polish families revealed germline mutations in 30 families using DNA isolated from peripheral blood luykocytes to sequence through PCR and Quantitative Southern analysis. Mutations were not detected in 4 probands fulfilling clinical criteria for von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD). This missense mutation was found in a VHLD family of 4 affected patients (family no. 10). All 4 patients had retinal hemangioblastomas, 3 had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, and one had renal cell carcinoma. Moderate evidence of pathogenicity given a novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before (ACMG code: PM5).

    1. c.C712T, p.R167W

      Three patients with mutations in the VHL gene were diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours before the age of 18. Case 2 was a young female who developed bilateral phaeochromocytomas at 12 and underwent staged bilateral adrenalectomies at 14. At the age of 16, she was discovered to have a 2.5 cm tail of pancreas pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour. This enlarged during follow-up and additional smaller pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours in the pancreatic body became visible. A second 1 mm grade 1 pNET was also present and was completely excised. In the 7 years of follow-up since this operation, new pNETs developed within the pancreatic head, body and tail and have continued to enlarge. During a period of follow-up, she was found to have a small asymptomatic spinal haemangioblastoma. Genetic testing was done when the patient was 11-years-old and confirmed an inherited mutation in the VHL gene. She was found to have inherited a mutation in exon 3 of the VHL gene (c.499C>T, p.R167W). This missense mutation is noted in the paper as c.712C>T due to a difference in the VHL reference sequence notation used. The proband's mother died at the age of 45 from a progressive metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour diagnosed at the age of 35. The mother also had a pheochromocytoma, hemangioblastoma, and renal cell carcinoma. The proband's uncle is also described as having VHL disease and presented with pheochromocytoma, hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma. The proband's maternal cousin, 'Case 3' in the paper, was a 3-year-old male who was diagnosed with VHL disease after cascade genetic screening and was found to have the same mutation as 'Case 2' in the VHL gene (c.499C>T, p.R167W). At the age of 11, he underwent resection of an abdominal paraganglioma, followed by staged bilateral adrenalectomies for phaeochromocytomas at the age of 14. Post-operative surveillance imaging detected a 1 cm body of pancreas pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour at the age of 12. Case 3's brother was a 26 year old male with a pheochromocytoma and hemangioblastoma.

The second was a 6 year old female who presented with bilateral metachronous pheochromocytoma. Family histories are unknown.

    1. Relative telomere length assessment Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood by using a blood DNA extraction kit (Tiangene). We followed the method described by Cawthon to quantify relative telomere length by measuring copy number ratio of telomere repeats (T) to the single copy gene 36B4 (S) using qRT-PCR (24). The 10-μL PCR mixture contained 2X SYBR master mix (Takara) 5 μL, genomic DNA 30 ng, 300 nmol/L telomere primer Tel1 (5′-GGTTTTTGAGGGTGAGGGTGAGGGTGAGGGTGAGGGT) and 900 nmol/L Tel2 (5′-TCCCGACTATCCCTATCCCTATCCCTATCCCTATCCCTA), or 200 nmol/L single copy gene primer 36B4u (5′-CAGCAAGTGGGAAGGTGTAATCC), and 500 nmol/L 36B4d (5′-CCCATTCTATCATCAACGGGTACAA; ref. 19). qRT-PCR was run in an ABI 7500 PCR instrument using the profile of 95°C for 30 seconds and 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 seconds, 54°C for 2 minutes, and 72°C for 15 seconds. A standard curve from a control DNA sample (male, 45 years old) by serial 1/4 dilutions from 50 ng to 0.19 ng was constructed to evaluate the amplification efficiency (E), and this sample was measured in every batch of PCRs as the inter-run calibration. Threshold cycle (Ct) values were automatically determined by the 7500 software v2.0.5. The measurements of telomere length and single copy gene 36B4 were triplicate in one batch for each sample, and the mean of the three Ct values (Cm) was used for the calculation. PCR efficiency and the calibration of copy numbers were also enrolled in the telomere length calculation (19, 25). The formula to calculate the copy number ratio of telomere repeats (T) to single copy gene 36B4 (S) is as follows, and T/S represents the value of relative telomere length. <img class="highwire-embed" alt="Embedded Image" src="https://cancerres-aacrjournals-org.uhn.idm.oclc.org/sites/default/files/highwire/canres/74/14/3802/embed/graphic-1.gif"/> The relationship between age and relative telomere length in 325 normal controls can be expressed by the linear regression equation of Y = 1.4503-0.0117*X (see Fig. 2). Normal relative telomere length at the DNA sample-obtained age can then be predicted by this equation. The difference between predicted normal relative telomere length at the DNA-obtained age and the relative telomere length actually measured was the age-adjusted relative telomere length (19), which was used for the comparison among patients with VHL in generations. Telomere length measurement by Southern blot analysis The oligonucleotide (TTAGGG)4 was tailed with DIG-dUTP as the probe by using terminal transferase. Two micrograms of genomic DNA were digested with HinfI/RsaI and separated in 0.8% agarose gel. The DNA fragments in the gel were then transferred onto a Hybond-N membrane by Southern blotting. After UV cross-link and prehybridization, the membrane was hybridized in a solution containing 2 pmol/mL probe, 50% formamide, 2× SSC, 0.1% lauroyl sarcosine, 0.02% SDS, and 1% milk powder at 42°C for 6 hours, washed at room temperature in 2× SSC, 0.1% SDS for two times, and in 0.1× SSC, 0.1% SDS, 15 minutes for two times. Hybridized probe on the membrane was recognized by alkaline phosphatase conjugated anti-DIG antibody and chemiluminescent method. The luminescent image was developed on a phosphoimager. The telomere length was calculated by a telomeric software (version 1.2; ref. 26).

      37 Danish patients diagnosed with VHL before 18 years from a prospective cohort study from Denmark's National vHL Research Database (Binderup et al., 2013) were assessed. Parts of the Danish cohort have been previously assesed in the following papers PMID: 19863552, 25834951, 27966541, 27539272. Two families (Family ID 9 and 13) were found with a germline missense mutation in the VHL gene (S65W; c.194C>G). Family 9 had three patients: Patient I and II were both diagnosed at 0Y and had no manifestations by the end of the study at 5Y and 10Y respectively. Patient III was diagnosed at age 16 and developed two CNS hemangioblastomas and two pancreatic cysts at age 16. Family 13 had one patient who was diagnosed at age 13 and had eight retinal hemangioblastomas at that presented at ages 13, 16, 17, and 18. This patient also had one pancreatic cyst and one CNS hemangioblastoma at age 17. This patient died at age 48.

      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 missense mutation (p.G114R, c.340G>C) was found in a VHL patient with retinal hemangioblastomas. Other manifestations are not clearly stated. No family information was provided. This is possibly previously published in PMID: 15300849

      A 9 year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with generalized seisures and marked hypertension (110 bpm). Skeletal muscle hypertrophy, extraadrenal pheochromocytoma, a spinal cord tumor, and paraganglioma were all present in this patient. Leading to his diagnosis of VHL, the patient was found to have a mutation at c.193T>G, reported in the paper as p.S65A (c.406T>G) due to a difference in transcript sequence. DNA of peripheral blood cells was tested and DNA analysis of the VHL gene was performed. This was also done in the mother who was found to be negative, however the father’s DNA was not available for testing, therefore cannot definitely differentiate between an inherited or a de novo mutation in this patient. Common VHL manifestations of hemangioblastoma or retinal capillary hemangioma were not present. 16 months after his first admission, the patient is in good health. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. X214T

      Families with VHL disease type 2A were were evaluated for mutations in the VHL gene. In four families, three different coding sequence substitutions causing a 15 amino-acid extension from the original stop codon of the VHL gene were described. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes using standard procedures. Sequence analysis consisted of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and automated fluorescence sequencing of all three VHL exons. Patient 4, a 32Y female, presented with a pheochromocytoma and pancreatic cysts. No age at diagnosis was provided, but she was genetically tested and was found to have a c.642A>G (p.*214Trpext*14) mutation in the VHL gene (noted as p.*214Trpext*15 in the paper due to a difference in nomenclature). Family history is not available for this patient.

    1. After initial evaluation, the family was lost to medical follow-up. However, three years later, patient II-4 was again referred to our service after a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia. Her urinary metanephrines were repeatedly negative on two collections (0.86 µg/mg creatinine and 0.8 µg/mg creatinine; normal value: < 1.0 µg/mg creatinine). However, computerized tomography of the abdomen showed a right-sided adrenal mass; non-contrast images revealed a density of 36 Hounsfield units, findings that are highly suggestive for a pheochromocytoma (11). Moreover, this mass was also positive on MIBG scintigraphy. Echocardiography showed concentric myocardial remodeling of the left ventricle; fundoscopy and MRI of the brain were normal. She was then treated with an alpha-blocker (prazosin) in preparation for an open adrenalectomy. The histology confirmed the diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma and immunohistochemistry was only weakly positive for COX-2 (data not shown), a finding that is suggestive of a benign tumor (12).

    1. 3.1.3. Case 3The patient was a 38-year-old woman with a family history of VHL disease and confirmed to have a missense mutation L128P in the VHL gene, who presented with multiple bilateral renal tumors. Multiple partial nephrectomies with tumor enucleations were performed. A total of 6 tumors were identified, that ranged in size from 0.4 to 6.5 cm. Of these, 4 tumors were CCRCCs, and 2 tumors showed were diagnosed as CCPRCC (tumor sizes 0.4 and 2.5 cm) (Fig. 4). Both CCPRCCs were confined to the kidney (pT1). Immunohistochemical stains were performed, which demonstrated strong expression of CK7 and CD10 in the neoplastic cells (Fig. 5). P504S was negative. In contrast, immunohistochemical stains performed on 2 separate CCRCCs demonstrated the tumor cells to be only focally positive for CK7 and diffusely positive for CD10, vimentin, and PAX-8, whereas P504S was negative.Download : Download high-res image (334KB)Download : Download full-size imageFig. 4. Patient 3: Gross appearance of the radical nephrectomy specimen showing an extensively cystic kidney. There were multiple tumors identified. The largest tumor was a 6.5 cm CCRCC located in the interpolar areas of the kidney, which showed a characteristic gross appearance for CCRCC. There were multiple additional smaller tumors including 2 separate CCPRCCs (2.5 and 0.4 cm each).

    1. VHL Y156C

      100 patients (age: 13–95 years) who had either one or two non-syndromic pheochromocytoma without a positive familial history, without any other endocrine tumours, without any clinical signs for von Hippel–Lindau disease, MEN type 2 or neurofibromatosis type 1, were analyzed. Two patients in the study (Patient number 1 and 5) were found to both have a germ line mutation in the VHL gene, p.Tyr156Cys. The specific nucleotide change was not specified. Genetic analysis was conducted in search of a germ-line mutation in VHL by PCR-sequencing on both strands of DNA. Patient 1 was a 13-year old male who had a bilateral pheochromocytoma and Patient 5 was a 43-year old female who had a unilateral pheochromocytoma.

    1. A germline mutation of the VHL gene

      At 46Y, the male proband underwent surgery for pheochromocytoma associated with malignant hypertension. 20Y later at 66Y old, the proband experienced gait disturbance due to cerebellar dysfunction for 2 years and was found with meningioma and cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Later he also developed RCC and died from multiple cerebral infarctions and RCC. Genetic analysis included SSCP analysis of peripheral blood and revealed a germline VHL mutation NM_000551.3:c.472C>G. Please note that the paper describes it as c.685C>G because it uses a legacy reference system. His older sister passed away at 30Y old due to a cerebellar tumour. The proband's son was also confirmed with the same VHL mutation and had cerebellar hemangioblastoma.

Further clinical examination revealed cerebellar hemangioblastoma and a pituitary adenoma. Genetic testing revealed the presence of the c.340G>C (p.Gly114Arg) germline mutation of the VHL gene. Family history revealed 3 additional family members with a clinical diagnosis of VHL. Clinical manifestations present in these members included: cerebellar hemangioblastoma, retinal hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, and pancreatic cysts.

    1. (c.269A > T)

      A 35 year old woman was admitted with long-standing dyspepsia and pancreatic cysts. There were no other symptoms. The past medical and family histories were not of significance. Imaging studies showed the presence of multiple cysts in the head and tail of the pancreas suggesting pancreatic serous cystadenomas. Cysts were also found within the left kidney and spleen. MRI of the brain and entire spine found no hemangioblastomas and abdominal MRI scan excluded renal carcinoma. Pheochromocytoma, angiomas of the retina and endolymphatic sac tumors were also excluded. Genetic testing revealed a germline missense mutation N90I (c.269A>T) in the VHL gene. This variant was also found in her 7 year old daughter. Phenotypic information for the daughter was not described. Authors state this variant as being likely de novo in the proband.

      A case report of a woman with VHL presenting with a malignant pheochromocytoma at the age of 22 was described. 34 years later, she presented to the emergency department in 2008 with a hypertensive crisis characterized by 3 days of severe headache, malignant hypertension and seizures complicated by bilateral humeral fractures. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans showed large bilateral renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs), a right renal artery aneurysm, a bulky left adrenal gland with no discrete mass lesion, and a 15 mm calcified lesion within the left anterior mediastinum (not related to the sympathetic chain). Histological examination confirmed a pheochromocytoma metastasis within a lymph node. After the operation, blood pressure improved significantly. Further investigations of the patient have revealed mild sensorineural hearing loss. No evidence of hemangioblastomas via fundoscopy or on MRI scanning of the brain and spinal cord. Recent imaging has shown no change in the patient's presumed bilateral AMLs indicating the absence of renal cell carcinoma. The patient was found to carry the germline mutation Gly144Arg of the VHL gene. Two of her three children have inherited the mutation, they have had no disease manifestations.

    1. c191G>C: pR64P

      A study retrospectively reviewed medical records of 710 patients diagnosed with PC/PGL for associated renal neoplasia and primary renal PGLs, at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Three patients that met inclusion criteria were found with VHL mutations, only 2 of which had documented pathogenic mutations in the VHL gene. One patient (Patient 13) was a 33 year old male with a germline c.191G>C transversion resulting in a p.Arg64Pro protein change presenting with bilateral pheochromocytoma, and ccRCC.

      A 68Y male patient presented with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, retinal hemangioblastoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, and serous cystadenoma. At 73Y he developed adrenal pheochromocytoma and at 74 he developed a clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasis in the thyroid. Genetic testing confirmed a mutation NM_000551.3:c.245G>C (p.Arg82Pro) in the VHL gene which was confirmed in 3 other family members. Please note that no specific method of genetic testing was described in the paper. One was his 10Y grandson which was asymptomatic, his 46Y son that had renal cell carcinoma and pancreatic cysts or serous cystadenoma, a 47Y male distant relative had CNS hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, symptomatic pheochromocytoma, and pancreatic cysts/serous cystadenoma, and a deceased 37Y female distant relative had retinal hemangioblastoma. The paper also asserted that 7 other relatives were carriers of the mutation; 4 other relatives had CNS hemangioblastoma. It should be noted that genetic testing was not conducted on these seven relatives.

    1. pathogenic VHL mutation c. 232A>T; p. Asn78Tyr

      A retrospective series of case reports were analyzed to detect and compare changes in VHL disease-associated tumors before and after sunitinib treatment. Sanger sequencing of blood identified the mutations discussed. One case includes a 56 year old female with a c.232A>T mutation in the VHL gene, leading to a p.Asn78Tyr protein change. Her presentations included pancreatic endocrine tumour, renal cysts (identified at bilateral RCC), and unidentified back tumor. Her sister was identifies with the same point mutation of VHL and found with pancreatic NET. She died of the hemorrhagic stroke at age of 40 years. Other family members include a brother and nephew who each were identified with the same point mutation of VHL, but refused for further examinations for VHL-related lesions. The mother died of stroke at early of 50 years.
