      The medical records of 78 Korean patients with pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paragangliomas (PGL) were examined, 61 patients were diagnosed with PCC and the other 17 patients with PGL. 57 patients were included in the study. After excluding patients, 57 patients underwent sequencing. 14 patients received Sanger sequencing in pre-NGS period, while the other 43 patients underwent genetic testing by either direct sequencing (n=2) or targeted NGS (n=41) in the post-NGS period. 28 patients were found to have germline mutations in 7 PPGL-related genes (SDHB, RET, VHL, NF1, MAX, SDHA, and SDHD). Out of the 28 patients, 6 patients had germline mutations in VHL (5 presented with Pheochromocytoma and 1 with Paraganglioma). This patient had a PGL located in the pancreas and was found to have a E70K(c.208G>A) missense variant in the VHL gene, which was detected by targeted NGS.
