PatientID: III-16 (proband)

KindredID: 1

Case: M, 52Y0M, Iranian

DiseaseAssertion: VHL

FamilyInfo: Familial history was positive for BL-PCC in his son and his daughters, and for retinal hemangioblastoma and bilateral pheochromocytoma in his siblings. A total of 43 members of the kindred, 24 males and 19 females, aged 2-77 years were reached for evaluation. It is stated in the paper that all affected subjects (13) were positive for the same mutation (c.500G>A). Additionally, gene sequencing revealed that 4 asymptomatic members of the kindred also harbored the pathogenic mutation.

CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0002666; HP:0006880 (Pheochromocytoma; cerebellar hemangioblastoma)

CaseHPOFreeText: Patient had bilateral pheochromocytoma diagnosed at 30Y which had been operated on surgically at 50Y. He was hospitalized at age 50Y also for headache, vertigo, and gait problems for the past 2 months. Brain MRI then showed a huge lobulated hyper-intense lesion measuring 48 by 38 by 28 mm in the right cerebellar hemisphere with significant projection into the fourth ventricle, consistent with hemangioblastoma of reticular pattern.

CaseNotHPOs: HP:0000077 (abnormality of the kidney)

CaseNotHPOFreeText: There was no case of kidney tumors among the kindred.

Case: M, 51Y0M, Arab

DiseaseAssertion: VHL

FamilyInfo: Patient 2 (the patient’s brother) presented with the same mutation and was diagnosed with VHL at age 45. The two brothers had very similar VHL clinical manifestations including cerebellar hemangioblastomas, renal cell carcinoma, and cysts in the pancreas. However, patient 1 had testicular and epididymal cysts, as well as lesions in the spine, which were absent in Patient 2. No other family history was noted. Immediate family members were recommended to genetically test for the relevant variant or monitor for VHL-related symptoms.

CaseHPOFreeText: At 44Y, Patient 1 exhibited cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastomas, as well as retinal detachment. He also had renal cell carcinoma in both kidneys and multiple cysts in one kidney, testis, and pancreas. He also reported a history of headaches and vertigo, leading to a diagnosis of VHL disease type 1. At 49Y, multiple nodules were found in his lungs and a year later, a nodule in the testis and scrotal lithiasis were detected. At 51Y, renal cell carcinoma was identified in the left kidney and his left epididymis was enlarged. Patient continued to present with left testicular and scrotal lithiasis, right retinal detachment, and multiple nodules in both lungs. However, tMutation:Germlinehe lung phenotype was asymptomatic (see table 1).

CaseNotHPOs: HP:0001392; HP:0005264; HP:0001743 (abnormality of the liver; abnormality of the gallbladder; abnormality of the spleen)

CaseNotHPOFreeText: No lesions were observed in the liver, gallbladder, and spleen.
