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
