    1. The stop codon mutation c.481C>T, p.Arg161* (known as: c.694C>T, p.Arg232* according to the former nomenclature), also situated in exon 3 of the gene, was detected in a 46-year-old male (patient #4) self-referred and presenting (as reported by himself) two RCC and two cHB. Several family members were affected by the VHL disease: the patient's father has been operated for multiple large cHBs; the patient's brother has been operated for multiple cHBs and died from RCC; his nephew (brother's son) has been operated for large cHB. Unfortunately, the patient did not provide us with more detailed medical data on his own condition.

    3. The novel CME combines a duplication and an indel, rearranging exon 3 of the VHL gene-c. [516_517dupGTCAAGCCT; 532_542delCTGGACATCGTinsATTA], p. (Glu173Serfs*4) (Figure 2). This genetic rearrangement was detected in a 27-year-old female (patient #3) with an infratentorial tumour, initially considered on MRI to be ependymoma or haemangiopericytoma, but having the typical characteristics of cHB (Figure 3). After operation, HB of the cerebellum was histologically proven. Family history revealed that the patient's father has been operated for cHB and rHB, but unfortunately, the family has never been informed that the father's condition is VHL, which is an inheritable disease, and that the offspring should undergo regular screening by MRI of CNS beginning in adolescence [9Maher ER, Neumann HP, Richard S. Von Hippel-Lindau disease: a clinical and scientific review. Eur J Hum Genet. 2011;19(6):617–623. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar],22Shuin T, Yamasaki I, Tamura K, et al.

Jpn J Clin Oncol. 2006;36:337–343. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]]. The index patient might be classified as having the so called ‘type 1 VHL’ (rHB and cHB but at a low risk of RCC), which is related to contiguous deletion of all or part of VHL [9Maher ER, Neumann HP, Richard S. Von Hippel-Lindau disease: a clinical and scientific review. Eur J Hum Genet. 2011;19(6):617–623. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]]. Unfortunately, the father was not available for performing molecular genetic testing.
