Patients: Two generations of a family consisting of 15 individuals were studied.
PatientID: III:2
KindredID: 1
Case: F, 18Y, Spanish
DiseaseAssertion: pheochromocytoma
FamilyInfo: Spanish family of 15 members studied, over 2 generations. 6 members had VHL presentations, 1 was a carrier, and 4 others had the mutation, while 2 were not sequenced. This patient’s sister, brother, father, aunt and two cousins all showed positive for the familial mutation.
CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0002666 (adrenal pheochromocytoma)
CaseHPOFreeText: born in 1969, passed in 1987 at 18Y and had left (12cm) and right (14cm) adrenal pheochromocytoma tumors.

VariantEvidence: This mutation was assumed due to the patient’s young age of pheochromocytoma, and family history. Originally, this patient had a suggested clinical diagnosis of MEN2A due to the presence of incidental thyroid C-cell hyperplasia found. However, family screening for medullary thyroid carcinoma (with CEA) failed to detect any abnormalities.
