    1. A mutation-carrier nephew (IV-2) aged 4 years presented only atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.

      PatientID: IV-2

      KindredID: 1

      Case: M, 4Y0M, Mexican

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: Family composed of six affected individuals and three diseased subjects (III-2, III-3, III-4) were studied. III-4 (proband) presented with a CNS hemangioblastoma and a retinal hemangioblastoma. The mother (II-1) developed cerebellar, medullar and bilateral retinal HBs; two maternal aunts (II-2 and II-3) were affected by retinal and CNS HBs and unspecified renal tumors, whereas his grandfather (I-2) had unspecified abdominal tumors. All these relatives died in their early 30s. A 35-year-old sister (III-2) demonstrated cerebellar HB, right eye retinal HB and renal cell carcinoma, whereas a 32-year-old brother (III-3) presented with cerebellar HB, right eye retinal HB, renal cell carcinoma and pheochromocytoma. A mutation-carrier nephew (IV-2) presented only atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. All of these family members were found to have the R82P (c.245G>C) germline VHL variant. Eighteen additional healthy relatives were analyzed and tested negative for the mutation.

      CohortInfo: Two families and one apparently non-familial case were studied at the Institute of Ophthalmology ‘Conde de Valenciana’ (Mexico City, Mexico).
