    1. Thirteen patients with supratentorial hemangioblastoma were studied at Le Kremlin-Bicêtre University. Other phenotypes included: 6 patients with pancreatic cysts, 1 patient with an endocrine pancreatic tumor, 5 patients with renal cell carcinoma, 3 patients with pheochromocytoma, and 6 patients with retina hemangioblastomas, although specific phenotypes for each patient was not described. Blood samples were isolated from patients and the coding sequence and flanking intronic sequences were directly sequenced. Quantitative Southern blotting and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification studies were performed to detect large genomic rearrangements. Patient 8 (male) had a germline VHL p.Arg161* mutation. The patient had a meckel cave hemangioblastoma at age 28 and a papillary edema and pituitary stalk hemangioblastoma at age 34.

      Thirteen patients from four families (A, B, C and D) with known VHL disease and known mutations in the VHL gene were examined.  MLPA using venous blood showed 4 genetic variants. Family C was found with a p.L198P mutation in the VHL gene, only confirmed in patient II-1 (male), and was identified together with the polymorphism c.74C>T, p.P25L. The asymptomatic father was also a carrier of the same polymorphism (c.74C>T, p.P25L). No further familial information was provided although suggestion of a de novo mutation. Patient II-1 presented with adrenal pheochromocytoma. pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour, and retinal hemangioblastoma.

    1. Case ReportA 57-year-old Caucasian woman with an unremarkable past medical history presented with lumbar pain. Physical examination revealed a mass on the right flank. An FDG-PET scan revealed a renal mass highly suggestive of malignancy, signs of liver spread, and pelvic and lumbar spinal cord bone metastases (Figure 1A). Tumor staging at initial diagnosis was pT1bN0M1 (stage IV). In April 2007, an open right radical nephrectomy was performed. The histopathologic report revealed Fuhrman grade 4 advanced ccRCC. According to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) prognostic model,14 the patient was classified as being in the intermediate-risk group based on 2 risk factors for the prognostic score: Karnofsky performance status of 70% and a serum lactic dehydrogenase level >1.5 times the upper limit of normal. She received palliative radiotherapy View Full Size Figure 1.(A) Initial tumor dissemination detected by PET/CT (arrows).

After 2 cycles, all tumoral lesions had progressed and treatment was switched to sorafenib, 400 mg twice daily. New response assessment after 2 cycles revealed disease progression with new liver and bone lesions and clinical deterioration. In March 2008, the patient started temsirolimus at 25 mg weekly and experienced a remarkable clinical benefit. She had a partial response according to RECIST criteria, with a time to best response after starting temsirolimus of 6 weeks (temsirolimus start: March 3, 2008; response at first reevaluation: April 16, 2008), and experienced overall good tolerance; she continued temsirolimus for >7 years. Main toxicity consisted of 3 different pneumonitis episodes (grade 1–3) that required dose interruptions or reductions. In August 2015, a new solitary bone metastasis arose in the skull, whereas others remained with no change (Figure 1B). A complete resection of the lesion was performed followed by local radiotherapy. At 21 months after the metastasectomy, the patient continues on treatment with biweekly temsirolimus in combination with denosumab, with no tumor progression.We performed WES in 3 different regions of the primary tumor obtained before treatment, in the skull metastasis resected 7 years after temsirolimus treatment initiation, and in the germline DNA obtained from the patient's blood. The mean depth of coverage was >80x for the 3 regions of the primary tumors, 136x for the metastasis, and 94x for the blood (see supplemental eAppendix 1 for details regarding methodology, available online with this article at JNCCN.org). The number of tumor mutations (single nucleotide variants and indels) leading to nonsynonymous coding or loss-of-function (LOF) variants in the primary tumor was 160. Tumor mutations refer to those detected in the tumor but absent in the blood. In total, 116, 76, and 65 mutations were detected in each of the 3 tumor regions and from these, 41 were shared (Figure 2; supplemental eTable 1). Among the shared tumor mutations, 39 were missense variants and 2 were LOF variants caused by frameshifts. The variants affecting genes frequently mutated in ccRCC were detected in all tumor samples analyzed: VHL (c.263G>T; p.W88L), BAP1 (c.1359dup; p.E454Rfs*15), and MTOR (c.5920T>C; p.Y1974H), and were validated by Sanger sequencing. In ccRCC the primary driver event is VHL inactivation, and thus VHL mutations are early alterations present in all tumor cells.15 The MTOR mutation frequencies detected in the different tumor samples sequenced were similar to those found for VHL, indicating that the MTOR mutation was also a truncal event in this patient (average ratio of 1.1; supplemental eTable 1).

Other genes implicated in cancer with mutations included BCL11B, CIC, EML4, KMT2C, NOTCH1, and RANBP2 (see supplemental eTable 1).To assess the effect of the MTOR novel variant p.Y1974H, HEK293 cells were transfected with constructs expressing the wild-type mTOR protein or the Y1974H variant protein. The mTOR-activating mutation S2215Y was used as control for the experiments. The Thr389 phospho-S6K1 (pS6K1) levels, which represent TORC1 activity, were augmented for the Y1974H variant compared with mTOR wild-type, and similar to those obtained for S2215Y (Figure 3A), indicating that mTOR Y1974H activates mTORC1. In addition, we observed that mTOR Y1974H was sensitive to rapamycin (Figure 3B). mTOR Y1974H also led to an increased number of cells in S phase with a concomitant decrease in G0/G1, and an alteration in forward scatter (data related to an alteration in cell size) compared with mTOR wild-type and similar to mTOR S2215Y (supplemental eFigure 1).16 Immunohistologic analysis of the tumor samples revealed activation of the mTOR pathway through a positive immunostaining of phospho-S6, a downstream target of mTOR (Figure 4A–C), with the metastasis staining being more intense than that in the primary tumor. The staining of p-ERK (Figure4 D–F) was weak in the primary tumor, whereas the metastasis exhibited a nuclear and cytoplasmatic intense and extensive staining.WES of the metastasis that arose 7 years after starting temsirolimus treatment revealed 80 tumor nonsynonymous coding or LOF variants (71 missense, 2 in-frame deletions, and 7 LOF) present in the tumor and absent in the blood. Of these, 51 were shared with the primary tumor and 29 were exclusively present in the metastasis (supplemental eTable 1). Among the genes exclusively mutated in the metastasis, only 3 (CRTC3, KAT6B, PBRM1) were in the Cancer Gene Census (CGC) but none were directly related to the MTOR pathway, and the variants have not been previously described in tumors, according to the COSMIC database.The full region of the MTOR FKBP-rapamycin binding domain (FRB), including intronic regions, was sequenced by Sanger. However, no metastasis-specific variants were detected.

    3. In a study of 426 unrelated VHL patients, 111 were discovered to have alterations in the VHL gene. 18 novel variants were identified in VHL patients, but none were present in 200 unaffected control individuals. DNA samples from peripheral blood leukocytes underwent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), and direct sequence analysis of the entire coding sequence and intron-exon boundaries. The V66G (c.197T>G) germline mutation of the VHL gene was found in a 38 yr old VHL patient with CNS hemangioblastoma, pheochromocytoma, renal cystic lesion and pancreatic cyst or tumor (index case 379). Transmission of the variant could not be determined (n/d) since both parents and family history were not available.

      A study of 34 Polish families revealed germline mutations in 30 families using DNA isolated from peripheral blood luykocytes to sequence through PCR and Quantitative Southern analysis. Mutations were not detected in 4 probands fulfilling clinical criteria for von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD). This missense mutation was found in a VHLD family of 4 affected patients (family no. 10). All 4 patients had retinal hemangioblastomas, 3 had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, and one had renal cell carcinoma. Moderate evidence of pathogenicity given a novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before (ACMG code: PM5).

    1. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds were analyzed and confirmed that higher risk of pheochromocytoma is associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid or that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL). Age-related risks of retinal hemangoblastomas and renal cell carcinoma were higher in patients with nonsense or frameshift mutations. Southern blot and/or MLPA analysis by whole blood detected this mutation D197FS (c.589del) was found in a VHL type 1 family with 3 individuals. 1 had retinal angiomas diagnosed at 38Y and 1 with renal cell carcinoma diagnosed at 25Y.

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.

      Three patients with mutations in the VHL gene were diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours before the age of 18. Case 2 was a young female who developed bilateral phaeochromocytomas at 12 and underwent staged bilateral adrenalectomies at 14. At the age of 16, she was discovered to have a 2.5 cm tail of pancreas pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour. This enlarged during follow-up and additional smaller pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours in the pancreatic body became visible. A second 1 mm grade 1 pNET was also present and was completely excised. In the 7 years of follow-up since this operation, new pNETs developed within the pancreatic head, body and tail and have continued to enlarge. During a period of follow-up, she was found to have a small asymptomatic spinal haemangioblastoma. Genetic testing was done when the patient was 11-years-old and confirmed an inherited mutation in the VHL gene. She was found to have inherited a mutation in exon 3 of the VHL gene (c.499C>T, p.R167W). This missense mutation is noted in the paper as c.712C>T due to a difference in the VHL reference sequence notation used. The proband's mother died at the age of 45 from a progressive metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour diagnosed at the age of 35. The mother also had a pheochromocytoma, hemangioblastoma, and renal cell carcinoma. The proband's uncle is also described as having VHL disease and presented with pheochromocytoma, hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma. The proband's maternal cousin, 'Case 3' in the paper, was a 3-year-old male who was diagnosed with VHL disease after cascade genetic screening and was found to have the same mutation as 'Case 2' in the VHL gene (c.499C>T, p.R167W). At the age of 11, he underwent resection of an abdominal paraganglioma, followed by staged bilateral adrenalectomies for phaeochromocytomas at the age of 14. Post-operative surveillance imaging detected a 1 cm body of pancreas pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour at the age of 12. Case 3's brother was a 26 year old male with a pheochromocytoma and hemangioblastoma.

    1. Medical records of 26 patients with germline mutations of the VHL gene who had been diagnosed with VHL disease in Severance Hospital (Seoul, Republic of Korea) and Samsung Medical Center (Seoul, Republic of Korea) between 2003 and 2012 were reviewed, in addition to several cases published elsewhere. Peripheral blood leukocytes were isolated and directly sequenced. This revealed a germline nonsense mutation in the VHL gene (c.217C>T; p.Gln73*) in 3 patients. Patient 12, 41Y female, presenting with RCC (no data available for hemangioblastoma) and her daughter, presenting with CNS hemangioblastoma. Data on the mother was originally published by Seo et al. in 2006, J Korean Soc Endocrinol and was translated into English by the current study. Patient 11, 37Y female previously reported in PMID 19270817, presenting with multiple CNS hemangioblastomas, renal cell carcinoma and a family history positive for VHL. All patients were diagnosed with VHL Type 1.

    1. Arg113Stop

      A previous study of 26 Japanese, VHL families was extended to 41 additional families. Germline mutations were detected in 55 of 77 Japanese families, using SSCP, direct sequencing, and Southern Blot analysis of peripheral blood samples. Renal cell carcinoma occurred predominantly in non-missense mutations predicted to lead to gross alteration or complete loss of the VHL protein. This stop-gain mutation, c.337C>T (stated as c.550C>T in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference), was found in VHL type 2 patient, who was previously diagnosed with VHL type 1. The patient had a hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, pancreatic cysts, renal cell carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma (family ID 47).

    1. MethodsStudy subjectsParaffin-embedded normal and tumor tissue samples from RCC patients were provided by the Tumor Tissue Bank of the Koo Foundation Sun Yat-Sen Cancer Center, which is funded by the National Science and Technology Program for Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology (#NSC89-2323-B-368-001). The control group consisted of 616 unrelated individuals and has been described in our previous report [21]. DNA sample collection for the VHL SNP study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Chung Shan Medical University Hospital and informed consent was obtained from each subject.Preparation of Genomic DNAThe tissues were deparaffinized using standard xylene-deparaffin procedure. Genomic DNA was isolated from normal and tumor tissues using QIAamp DNA kit (Qiagen). The concentration of nucleic acids was estimated by GeneQuant II RNA/DNA calculator (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). Each genomic DNA sample was adjusted to 100 ng/ml and served as a template for subsequent analyses.Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)VHL rs779805A > G and rs1642742A > G were detected on polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assays according to the methods described by Gail et al. and Payne et al. [22, 23]. Slight modifications were made in the PCR primers for rs779805 and rs1642742 as follows: rs779805-F, 5′-AGCCTCGCCTCCGTTACCAC-3′; rs779805-R, 5′-GTAGAGGATGGAACGCGCT-3′; rs1642742-F, 5′-CTGCCCATTAGAGAAGTATTT-3′; rs1642742-R, 5′-AATTCCCACTGAATTACGTATA-3′. PCR fragments were amplified in a Perkin-Elmer 2400 DNA thermal cycler in a final volume of 15 to 30 µl that contained one-fold Qiagen PCR buffer [Tris–HCl, KCl, (NH4)2SO4, 15 mM MgCl2; pH 8.7 at 20°C], one-fold Q-solution, 0.015 units/µl Taq DNA polymerase supplied from Taq DNA polymerase kit (Qiagen), 500 nM for each primer, 200 mM dGTP, dATP, dCTP and dTTP (Promega) and 300 ng/µl template. PCR conditions included initial denaturation for 5 min at 95°C, followed by 35 cycles consisting of 1 min at 95°C, 1 min at 60°C for rs779805 or 50°C for rs1642742, and 2 min at 72°C, with final extension for 10 min at 72°C.Digestion of restriction enzymeAn aliquot of 10 µl of PCR product was digested with 2.5 units BsaJ I (New England Biolabs) for rs779805 or 2.5 units Acc I (New England Biolabs) for rs1642742 in a total volume of 20 µl that contained one-fold NEBuffer 2 or NEBuffer 4. The samples were digested at 60°C for rs779805 or 37°C for rs1642742 for 4 hrs followed by heat inactivation of the restriction enzyme at 80°C for 20 min. After digestion, the products were separated onto 3% agarose gels. To avoid genotyping errors, analysis was repeated at least twice for each sample. Portions of the PCR products were sent for direct sequencing and the data were consistent with the genotyping.Direct sequencingThe A/G polymorphisms at nucleotides 19 (rs779805) and 1149 (rs1642742) in the VHL gene were analyzed by PCR amplification using published primers and experimental protocols [8, 20, 24]. The PCR products were purified using QIAquick PCR Purification kits (Qiagen). Then, the purified PCR products were sequenced by the cycle-sequencing method with fluorescently labeled dideoxy chain terminators from ABI Prism kit (Applied Biosystems) in an ABI Model 377 automated DNA sequencer. The sequencing primers were the same as those for the preceding PCRs. The nucleotide sequence was confirmed on both strands.Statistical analysisStandard normal deviate (z) test or chi-square test was used to compare the genotype and allelic frequencies between the control and patient groups. p values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant and p values of less than 0.01 were considered highly significant.Go to:

    1. A 42-year-old female was admitted with complaints of a 15-day history of intermittent headaches and dizziness, without nausea and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a giant mass lesion with mixed density in the right CPA region along with the destroyed petrous bone (Figure 1A), and a low density space-occupying lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere. No abnormal physical and laboratory examination including abdominal CT, were found except for a past history of appendicitis excision and cesarean section and the impairment of right hearing resulting from otitis media in childhood. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) described two tumors that were 4 × 3 × 3 cm in size in the right CPA region with mixed-signal intensity on T1, T2-weighted images and heterogeneous contrast enhancement; and 4.1 × 2.5 × 3.0 cm in size in the left cerebellar hemisphere with being obviously cystic change (Figure 1B-E). The boundary of two lesions were relatively clear from surrounding parenchyma.Open in a separate windowFigure 1Radiologic characterization of endolymphatic sac tumor and hemangioblastoma. A: CT imaging demonstrated a destroyed petrous bone involving the right mastoid and the middle ear. B-E: MR scan showed two giant masses co-existing in the posterior cranial fossa. The right one in the CPA was irregular, heterogeneous on T1/T2-weighted images as well as heterogeneous contrast enhancement, the left lesion was shown with solid and cyst change in cerebellar hemisphere. F: MRI scan after the second operation showed totally resection of both lesions.Operation and pathological findingsBoth tumors were completely removed via right and left retrosigmoid sinus craniotomy respectively within 25 days. During the first operation, lesion with demarcating from normal cerebellar tissue and invading part of petrous bone were found. The origin of the tumor from petrous bone could be apparently observed. In the second operation, the brown cyst fluid associated with old hemorrhage and soft solid nodule were seen. Under a microscope observation after the first surgery, intense vascularization of the tumor and the obviously primarily cystic architecture were observed. The cystic architecture filled with colloid-like material. Most of them were lined by a single layer of flattened epithelial cells, few covered by a single layer of cuboidal to columnar cells (Figure 2A-D). Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated vascular cells positive reactivity for CD31 (Figure 3A) and CD34 (Figure 3C), which were mistaken for the tumor cells at the initial diagnosis. Subsequently, further immunohistochemical staining showed positive reactivity for PAS (Figure 3B), epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) (Figure 3D), NSE and cytokeratin (CK) but negative for D2-40 and S-100. As to another specimen, histological examination shown round-to-oval nuclei and abundant clear cytoplasms in most of cells (Figure 4). Immunohistochemical staining confirmed hemangioblastoma.

    1. Through PCR purification and Sanger sequencing of peripheral blood (using an alcohol precipitation method), 121 consecutive, unrelated, index PCC/PGL patients underwent genetic testing for five PCC/PGL susceptibility genes (RET, VHL, SDHB, SDHD and SDHC) and were evaluated for clinical diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type1. Two unrelated probands were genetically confirmed with a familial mutation at c.482G>A of the VHL gene. The first was an 20 year old female who presented with bilateral pheochromocytoma. The second was a 6 year old female who presented with bilateral metachronous pheochromocytoma. Family histories are unknown.

    1. Germline mutations were identified in 300/469 (63%) of the families tested; 137 distinct intragenic germline mutations were detected.

      Germline mutational data on VHL was gathered from various countries to assess variation in germline mutations that produce disease within different populations. Families were grouped according to three possible outcomes of disease: renal cell carcinoma without pheochromocytoma, renal cell carcinoma with pheochromocytoma, or pheochromocytoma alone. SSCP and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis identified mutations in 300/469 (63%) of families affected with VHL. This germline familial VHL mutation (N78T (c.233A>C)) was taken from the National Cancer Institute database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 3101NCI. It was reported in the paper as c.446A>C due to a difference in transcript reference. As reported in Table 3, this mutation is found in VHL families without pheochromocytoma, and with renal cell carcinoma.

    1. Relative telomere length assessment Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood by using a blood DNA extraction kit (Tiangene). We followed the method described by Cawthon to quantify relative telomere length by measuring copy number ratio of telomere repeats (T) to the single copy gene 36B4 (S) using qRT-PCR (24). The 10-μL PCR mixture contained 2X SYBR master mix (Takara) 5 μL, genomic DNA 30 ng, 300 nmol/L telomere primer Tel1 (5′-GGTTTTTGAGGGTGAGGGTGAGGGTGAGGGTGAGGGT) and 900 nmol/L Tel2 (5′-TCCCGACTATCCCTATCCCTATCCCTATCCCTATCCCTA), or 200 nmol/L single copy gene primer 36B4u (5′-CAGCAAGTGGGAAGGTGTAATCC), and 500 nmol/L 36B4d (5′-CCCATTCTATCATCAACGGGTACAA; ref. 19). qRT-PCR was run in an ABI 7500 PCR instrument using the profile of 95°C for 30 seconds and 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 seconds, 54°C for 2 minutes, and 72°C for 15 seconds. A standard curve from a control DNA sample (male, 45 years old) by serial 1/4 dilutions from 50 ng to 0.19 ng was constructed to evaluate the amplification efficiency (E), and this sample was measured in every batch of PCRs as the inter-run calibration. Threshold cycle (Ct) values were automatically determined by the 7500 software v2.0.5. The measurements of telomere length and single copy gene 36B4 were triplicate in one batch for each sample, and the mean of the three Ct values (Cm) was used for the calculation. PCR efficiency and the calibration of copy numbers were also enrolled in the telomere length calculation (19, 25). The formula to calculate the copy number ratio of telomere repeats (T) to single copy gene 36B4 (S) is as follows, and T/S represents the value of relative telomere length. <img class="highwire-embed" alt="Embedded Image" src="https://cancerres-aacrjournals-org.uhn.idm.oclc.org/sites/default/files/highwire/canres/74/14/3802/embed/graphic-1.gif"/> The relationship between age and relative telomere length in 325 normal controls can be expressed by the linear regression equation of Y = 1.4503-0.0117*X (see Fig. 2). Normal relative telomere length at the DNA sample-obtained age can then be predicted by this equation. The difference between predicted normal relative telomere length at the DNA-obtained age and the relative telomere length actually measured was the age-adjusted relative telomere length (19), which was used for the comparison among patients with VHL in generations. Telomere length measurement by Southern blot analysis The oligonucleotide (TTAGGG)4 was tailed with DIG-dUTP as the probe by using terminal transferase. Two micrograms of genomic DNA were digested with HinfI/RsaI and separated in 0.8% agarose gel. The DNA fragments in the gel were then transferred onto a Hybond-N membrane by Southern blotting. After UV cross-link and prehybridization, the membrane was hybridized in a solution containing 2 pmol/mL probe, 50% formamide, 2× SSC, 0.1% lauroyl sarcosine, 0.02% SDS, and 1% milk powder at 42°C for 6 hours, washed at room temperature in 2× SSC, 0.1% SDS for two times, and in 0.1× SSC, 0.1% SDS, 15 minutes for two times. Hybridized probe on the membrane was recognized by alkaline phosphatase conjugated anti-DIG antibody and chemiluminescent method. The luminescent image was developed on a phosphoimager. The telomere length was calculated by a telomeric software (version 1.2; ref. 26).

      37 Danish patients diagnosed with VHL before 18 years from a prospective cohort study from Denmark's National vHL Research Database (Binderup et al., 2013) were assessed. Parts of the Danish cohort have been previously assesed in the following papers PMID: 19863552, 25834951, 27966541, 27539272. Two families (Family ID 9 and 13) were found with a germline missense mutation in the VHL gene (S65W; c.194C>G). Family 9 had three patients: Patient I and II were both diagnosed at 0Y and had no manifestations by the end of the study at 5Y and 10Y respectively. Patient III was diagnosed at age 16 and developed two CNS hemangioblastomas and two pancreatic cysts at age 16. Family 13 had one patient who was diagnosed at age 13 and had eight retinal hemangioblastomas at that presented at ages 13, 16, 17, and 18. This patient also had one pancreatic cyst and one CNS hemangioblastoma at age 17. This patient died at age 48.

    1. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations using SSCP analysis of PCR products by peripheral blood. The R161 (c.481C>T) mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by R161 (c.694C>T) due to a difference in transcript sequence. This nonsense mutation was found in 2 unrelated, German families. One VHL type 1 family of 2 affected individuals had one patient with retinal angiomas, 2 with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, one with renal cell carcinoma and renal cysts, one with pancreatic cysts, and one with cystadenomas of the epididymis (family VHL 32). Another VHL type 1 family of 3 affected individuals had 3 patients with retinal angiomas, one with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, 2 with renal cysts and renal cell carcinoma, one with pancreatic cysts, and one with cystadenomas of the epididymis (family VHL 49). ACMG codes as follows: A nonsense mutation in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (PVS1). Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease (PP1). HPO terms: papillary cystadenomas of the broad ligament.

    2. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations. The mutation of c.464-1G>A was referred to in the paper by c.677-1G>A due to a difference in transcript sequence. This splice mutation was found in a German, VHL type 1 patient with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system (family VHL 48). This study contains very strong evidence of pathogenicity in the form of a canonical -1 splice site variant in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (ACMG code: PVS1).

    1. Whole blood samples and PCR and SSCP was used to investigate a family in Kuwait with Arabian and Persian genetic admixture. The germline VHL mutation p.Trp117Cys was found in a second extended von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) family. The mutation c.351G>T was referred to in the paper by c.564G>T due to a difference in transcript sequence. The index patient, III-9, presented with a history of VHL syndrome: CNS hemangioblastoma, spinal hemangioblastoma, retinal hemangioblastoma, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, and renal cell carcinoma. The clinical history of all other patients revealed multiple CNS hemangioblastomas in various organs and renal cell carcinoma without pheochromocytomas. One affected member of the family (III-8) had a bladder tumor and an unspecified brain tumor in addition. Index patient's Persian grandmother had VHL (hemangioblastoma and renal cell carcinoma), 5/6 of her children (2 females, 3 males), and 7/20 of her grandchildren (4 females, 3 males) including the index patient. All affected members of the family, lacked any evidence of pheochromocytoma, leading to the categorization of this family as VHL type 1. This mutation was found in all patients with clinical diagnoses but in none of the healthy members of the family or in the 55 healthy control subjects. ACMG: PP4, PP1

      26 VHL patients from 18 families, who had undergone a partial adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma were retrospectively analyzed. 1 patient from a single family was confirmed to have the mutation (Y112H). Additional manifestations aside from pheochromocytoma are possible, but were not discussed. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in a gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.

    1. An update on the genetic findings pertaining to a previously published (pmids: 8239848, 21713522) large familial pheochromocytoma Pennsylvania kindred. The family is comprised of: 18 living individuals with only pheochromocytoma; 7 living individuals with only retinal angioma; 6 living individuals with both; 51 other first-degree relatives; 5 additional relatives with pheochromocytomas, including a 69Y woman and her 42Y son described previously as non-penetrant individuals (pmid 8239848). Family classified as a VHL Type 2A (pheochromocytoma, retinal angioma, CNS hemangioblastoma, and little to no RCC). All 31 individuals (including 6 archival specimens) with a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, retinal angioma or both had the identical T547C (legacy nomenclature) germline mutation determined through PCR, single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis and direct sequencing.

    2. The authors described the growth kinetics of 96 renal tumours in 64 VHL patients (32 males, 32 females). All patients had VHL disease with renal involvement. 54/64 had undergone renal surgery or a radiofrequency thermal ablation procedure for RCC. In 10/64 patients, at least one or more RCC was diagnosed. However, at the time of diagnosis, an indication for treatment was not yet present. For all patients, several CT/MRI scans existed for retrospective description of tumour growth kinetics. 10-ml EDTA anticoagulated blood samples were available from each patient for mutation screening of all exons of the VHL gene. Genomic DNA from blood samples was extracted using standard methods. Small deletions/insertions or point mutations were identified by DNA sequencing followed by complete mutation screening using PCR/single-strand conformation polymorphism and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography. A germline missense variant p.F136S(c.407T>C) was identified in patient #45. This mutation was noted as c.620T>C in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used (see Table S1). No family information is available for this patient.

    1. VHL nt. 406 T-->G

      A 9 year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with generalized seisures and marked hypertension (110 bpm). Skeletal muscle hypertrophy, extraadrenal pheochromocytoma, a spinal cord tumor, and paraganglioma were all present in this patient. Leading to his diagnosis of VHL, the patient was found to have a mutation at c.193T>G, reported in the paper as p.S65A (c.406T>G) due to a difference in transcript sequence. DNA of peripheral blood cells was tested and DNA analysis of the VHL gene was performed. This was also done in the mother who was found to be negative, however the father’s DNA was not available for testing, therefore cannot definitely differentiate between an inherited or a de novo mutation in this patient. Common VHL manifestations of hemangioblastoma or retinal capillary hemangioma were not present. 16 months after his first admission, the patient is in good health. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

      27 index patients suspected of having VHL disease from unrelated Chinese families and their relatives were studied. The nucleotide were numbered according to the sequence numbering by Latif et al, 1993 and this was converted to NM_000551.3. The paper did not differentiate between a pancreatic cysts and tumor and presented these together as a 'pancreatic lesion'. The paper summarized the phenotypes of the families together. Family 6 was found with p.Asn78Ser mutation in the VHL gene: 22 family members were recorded with the given mutation. 18 had VHL manifestations while 4 were asymptomatic carriers. 10/18 members had CNS hemangioblastoma, 5/18 had retinal angioma, 12/18 had RCC, 7/18 members had a pancreatic lesion, and 1/18 had pheochromocytoma.

      Families with VHL disease type 2A were were evaluated for mutations in the VHL gene. In four families, three different coding sequence substitutions causing a 15 amino-acid extension from the original stop codon of the VHL gene were described. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes using standard procedures. Sequence analysis consisted of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and automated fluorescence sequencing of all three VHL exons. Patient 4, a 32Y female, presented with a pheochromocytoma and pancreatic cysts. No age at diagnosis was provided, but she was genetically tested and was found to have a c.642A>G (p.*214Trpext*14) mutation in the VHL gene (noted as p.*214Trpext*15 in the paper due to a difference in nomenclature). Family history is not available for this patient.

    1. After initial evaluation, the family was lost to medical follow-up. However, three years later, patient II-4 was again referred to our service after a pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia. Her urinary metanephrines were repeatedly negative on two collections (0.86 µg/mg creatinine and 0.8 µg/mg creatinine; normal value: < 1.0 µg/mg creatinine). However, computerized tomography of the abdomen showed a right-sided adrenal mass; non-contrast images revealed a density of 36 Hounsfield units, findings that are highly suggestive for a pheochromocytoma (11). Moreover, this mass was also positive on MIBG scintigraphy. Echocardiography showed concentric myocardial remodeling of the left ventricle; fundoscopy and MRI of the brain were normal. She was then treated with an alpha-blocker (prazosin) in preparation for an open adrenalectomy. The histology confirmed the diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma and immunohistochemistry was only weakly positive for COX-2 (data not shown), a finding that is suggestive of a benign tumor (12).

The patient’s sister (II-2) was found to harbor the same germline mutation the patient harbored and had left adrenal pheochromocytoma at 10Y. The same germline missense mutation was found in the patient’s asymptomatic daughter (III-1). The father was not available for genetic testing because he had died, apparently secondary to a hypertensive crisis. The five other family members which underwent genetic testing did not have the mutation.

Her urinary metanephrines were negative on two collections (0.86 µg/mg creatinine and 0.8 µg/mg creatinine). However, computerized tomography of the abdomen showed a right-sided adrenal mass, and adrenal pheochromocytoma was histologically confirmed. Immunohistochemistry was weakly positive for COX-2, so the tumor was likely benign.

    1. Ninety-eight individuals were tested for VHL mutations--23 symptomatic and 75 asymptomatic individuals belonging to 16 families. Seven of the families had definite clinical criteria of VHL disease, five had sporadic hemangioblastoma, and four had CNS hemangioblastoma combined with minor visceral signs. Molecular genetic testing identified five germline mutations in six of the definite VHL families (sensitivity 85%), but none in the possible VHL and sporadic hemangioblastoma cases; four of these mutations had been previously described and one is a novel mutation present in two unrelated families. After patients carrying the mutation were identified, they underwent clinical screening and asymptomatic VHL-related lesions were identified in 43%.

      VariantEvidence: The modified amino acids are located in a domain common to all pVHL isoforms, the highly conserved cctbinding domain of the protein, involved in the formation of the pVHL elongin complex that is crucial for tumor suppression. Furthermore, the mutant protein is prematurely truncated and lacks the C-terminal half of exon 2 and exon 3 completely, which includes the nuclear export signal and the elongin C binding site of pVHL. Thus, this truncated protein would affect the two functional isoforms of pVHL: the major isoform pVHL30 and pVHL19, but not isoform 2, which lacks exon 2 but is not functional

      53 patients with a molecularly confirmed VHL mutation (by PCR through EDTA-anticoagulated blood) and a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (ICT) were collected from the German NET-Registry and the German VHL-registry. An additional 296 patients were stated in this paper with a VHL associated germline mutation, but without pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. 1 patient was found to have the above mutation (c.467A>G). They were a VHL patient with an ICT (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor) taken from the VHL-registry. Other clinical manifestations outside of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor are possible, but were not discussed. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in a gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.

Case 3The patient was a 38-year-old woman with a family history of VHL disease and confirmed to have a missense mutation L128P in the VHL gene, who presented with multiple bilateral renal tumors. Multiple partial nephrectomies with tumor enucleations were performed. A total of 6 tumors were identified, that ranged in size from 0.4 to 6.5 cm. Of these, 4 tumors were CCRCCs, and 2 tumors showed were diagnosed as CCPRCC (tumor sizes 0.4 and 2.5 cm) (Fig. 4). Both CCPRCCs were confined to the kidney (pT1). Immunohistochemical stains were performed, which demonstrated strong expression of CK7 and CD10 in the neoplastic cells (Fig. 5). P504S was negative. In contrast, immunohistochemical stains performed on 2 separate CCRCCs demonstrated the tumor cells to be only focally positive for CK7 and diffusely positive for CD10, vimentin, and PAX-8, whereas P504S was negative.Download : Download high-res image (334KB)Download : Download full-size imageFig. 4.

    1. glutamine for arginine at codon 167 (R167Q),

      A case report of a 42-year-old woman genetically confirmed with c.500G>A (p.Arg167Gln) in the VHL gene and type 2A VHL disease presented with two CNS hemangioblastomas (brain and spinal cord), left pheochromocytoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and presented with a parotid mucoepidermoid carcinoma at age 42. The R167Q mutation was previously diagnosed using a blood test at age 34. Using the TruSeq Amplicon Cancer Panel to sequence the patient's tumor specimen, it was found that the patient had a second somatic VHL mutation at codon 105 (p.T105M). The patient had a positive family history, with her mother and children having VHL disease; no additional information on phenotype and genotype for family members was provided.

    1. To elucidate possible effects of the mutation D197N on the structure of VHL and its interaction with co-ligands, we considered the high-resolution (1·85 A) structure of VHL in complex with HIF-1α and elongin B and C, deposited in the Protein Data Bank with identity code 1LM8 and performed a multiple alignment utilizing two different software. Residue D197 participates in a salt bridges network with R120, E134 and R200 (Fig. 4a) that anchors the C-terminal helix to the rest of the protein. The crystallographic structure shows that the bridge networks are in close contact with the first NH2-terminal fluctuating residues. As shown in Fig. 4b, the mutation is located in the COOH-terminal helix and that there are no direct interactions between the C-terminal helix and elongin B, elongin C and HIF-1a, suggesting that D197N probably does not alter directly the complex formation and activity. However, it is likely that the D197N mutation modifies the salt bridges network established by residues 120, 134, 197 and 200. Actually, the important role of the network of salt bridges in the physiological function of the VHL protein is indicated by the multiple alignment of VHL sequences from Swiss-Prot and RefSeq that shows that aminoacid 197 and the other involved in the network are evolutionarily conserved (Fig. 5).

    1. VHL Y156C

      100 patients (age: 13–95 years) who had either one or two non-syndromic pheochromocytoma without a positive familial history, without any other endocrine tumours, without any clinical signs for von Hippel–Lindau disease, MEN type 2 or neurofibromatosis type 1, were analyzed. Two patients in the study (Patient number 1 and 5) were found to both have a germ line mutation in the VHL gene, p.Tyr156Cys. The specific nucleotide change was not specified. Genetic analysis was conducted in search of a germ-line mutation in VHL by PCR-sequencing on both strands of DNA. Patient 1 was a 13-year old male who had a bilateral pheochromocytoma and Patient 5 was a 43-year old female who had a unilateral pheochromocytoma.

    1. A germline mutation of the VHL gene

      At 46Y, the male proband underwent surgery for pheochromocytoma associated with malignant hypertension. 20Y later at 66Y old, the proband experienced gait disturbance due to cerebellar dysfunction for 2 years and was found with meningioma and cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Later he also developed RCC and died from multiple cerebral infarctions and RCC. Genetic analysis included SSCP analysis of peripheral blood and revealed a germline VHL mutation NM_000551.3:c.472C>G. Please note that the paper describes it as c.685C>G because it uses a legacy reference system. His older sister passed away at 30Y old due to a cerebellar tumour. The proband's son was also confirmed with the same VHL mutation and had cerebellar hemangioblastoma.

      A 35 year old woman was admitted with long-standing dyspepsia and pancreatic cysts. There were no other symptoms. The past medical and family histories were not of significance. Imaging studies showed the presence of multiple cysts in the head and tail of the pancreas suggesting pancreatic serous cystadenomas. Cysts were also found within the left kidney and spleen. MRI of the brain and entire spine found no hemangioblastomas and abdominal MRI scan excluded renal carcinoma. Pheochromocytoma, angiomas of the retina and endolymphatic sac tumors were also excluded. Genetic testing revealed a germline missense mutation N90I (c.269A>T) in the VHL gene. This variant was also found in her 7 year old daughter. Phenotypic information for the daughter was not described. Authors state this variant as being likely de novo in the proband.

    1. nt 712 C to T, Arg to Trp

      Fourty-four of 389 patients with VHL (between 1988-1999) screened positive for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs) either by pathologic analysis of tissue specimens or by characteristic radiographic appearance on CT and MRI. VHL gene germline mutations were determined by quantitative Southern blotting to detect deletions of the gene and gene rearrangements as well as complete gene sequencing. Eight patients presented with the c.499C>T VHL gene mutation (stated as 712 C to T in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference) causing a change of Arg to Trp at protein position 167. From family 3407, patients 30 (50-year-old male) and 31 (33-year-old male) both presented with a single radiologic PNET. From family 2301, patient 32 (34-year-old female) presented with two pathologic PNETs with metastases, and patient 33 (20-year-old female) presented with a single pathologic PNET with metastases. Unrelated patients 34 (43-year-old female), patient 35 (20-year-old female), and patient 36 (27-year-old female), all presented with three pathologic PNETs. Unrelated patient 37 (46-year-old female) presented with a single pathologic PNET. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP1' since we have co-segregation with the disease in multiple affected family members (family 3407, 5069, and 2301), 'PP4' since the patients' present phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. VHL kindreds for germline mutations and calculated the age related tumour risks for different classes of VHL gene mutations.

      In a study of 138 unrelated VHL families, 109 germline mutations were found. Missense mutations were more frequently found in families with pheochromocytoma (PC). Deletions, nonsense, and frameshift mutations were more frequently found in families without PC. Large deletions and mutations predicted to cause truncated protein were associated with lower risk of PC. The mutation W117* (c.351G>A) was referred to in the paper by c.564G>A due to a difference in transcript sequence.  This nonsense mutation found in a VHL family without PC (family ID 97). Only moderate evidence for pathogenicity because protein length changes as a result of stop-loss variant (ACMG code: PM4).

    1. (Gly144Arg)

      A case report of a woman with VHL presenting with a malignant pheochromocytoma at the age of 22 was described. 34 years later, she presented to the emergency department in 2008 with a hypertensive crisis characterized by 3 days of severe headache, malignant hypertension and seizures complicated by bilateral humeral fractures. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans showed large bilateral renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs), a right renal artery aneurysm, a bulky left adrenal gland with no discrete mass lesion, and a 15 mm calcified lesion within the left anterior mediastinum (not related to the sympathetic chain). Histological examination confirmed a pheochromocytoma metastasis within a lymph node. After the operation, blood pressure improved significantly. Further investigations of the patient have revealed mild sensorineural hearing loss. No evidence of hemangioblastomas via fundoscopy or on MRI scanning of the brain and spinal cord. Recent imaging has shown no change in the patient's presumed bilateral AMLs indicating the absence of renal cell carcinoma. The patient was found to carry the germline mutation Gly144Arg of the VHL gene. Two of her three children have inherited the mutation, they have had no disease manifestations.

      Tissue analysis from 61 VHL patients, 30 sporadic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tumor samples, and 6 sporadic RCC cell lines revealed 22 variants within VHL patients, 10 variants in tumor samples and variants in all cell lines. All mutations cluster to the 3’ end of the VHL gene open reading frame, implicating this region as important for the tumor-suppressor function of the VHL protein. Northern blot, SSCP and RT-PCR analysis from normal tissue found a germline p.L198R (c.593T>G) mutation, stated in the paper as c.806T>G due to an older transcript. It was seen in family [pedigree No] 7, with an unknown number of members described as ‘VHL-affected’ with RCC. Other manifestations are possible but not clear.

    1. c191G>C: pR64P

      A study retrospectively reviewed medical records of 710 patients diagnosed with PC/PGL for associated renal neoplasia and primary renal PGLs, at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Three patients that met inclusion criteria were found with VHL mutations, only 2 of which had documented pathogenic mutations in the VHL gene. One patient (Patient 13) was a 33 year old male with a germline c.191G>C transversion resulting in a p.Arg64Pro protein change presenting with bilateral pheochromocytoma, and ccRCC.

    1. Clinical case reportA 32-year-old male presented with hematuria. Ultrasound demonstrated multiple renal cysts and the initial diagnosis was polycystic kidney disease. However, the cysts enlarged during a surveillance period of one year, leading to computed tomography imaging demonstrating a locally advanced right renal tumor, and two tumors in the left kidney (Figure 1). Further investigation revealed capillary retinal angiomas and hemangiomas of the brain and spine typical of VHL disease, and he was diagnosed with a de novo, germline nonsense mutation in exon 3 of the VHL gene. At the age of 33, the patient underwent a radical right nephrectomy; histopathological examination confirmed a single stage 3, Fuhrman grade 3 ccRCC (pT3aN0M0). Six months later, there was progression in the left kidney and he was treated with partial left nephrectomy to remove both tumors. Both were stage 1 ccRCCs with a maximum Fuhrman grade of 2 (pT1aN0M0). At the time of this report, the patient remains in complete remission.

    1. Case 1. A 29-year-old male patient was referred to the retina department. About 1 month previously, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation treatment was performed on the patient due to RCC in his left kidney (Figure 1). Central nervous system involvement was not detected in the patient.Open in a separate windowFigure 1Abdominal computerized tomography image of case 1. Renal cell carcinoma in the left kidney (preoperatively).On ophthalmological examination, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was counting fingers from 2 meters in the right eye and 1.0 in the left eye on the Snellen acuity visual chart. Vitritis was detected in the right eye on slit-lamp biomicroscopy. The fundus examination revealed an extensive lipid exudation on the fovea and macula, and a 3-4 optic disc diameter-sized RH at the equator in the right eye; it was normal in the lefteye. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) showed that the RH in the right eye was responsible for fluorescein staining on the feeding artery and drainage vein and fluorescein leakage. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed that there was a foveal detachment in the right eye (Figure 2).Open in a separate windowFigure 2Optical coherence tomography and fundus fluorescein angiography images of Case 1.The patient’s blood sample was collected in vacutainers containing EDTA as anticoagulant.

      A 68Y male patient presented with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, retinal hemangioblastoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, and serous cystadenoma. At 73Y he developed adrenal pheochromocytoma and at 74 he developed a clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasis in the thyroid. Genetic testing confirmed a mutation NM_000551.3:c.245G>C (p.Arg82Pro) in the VHL gene which was confirmed in 3 other family members. Please note that no specific method of genetic testing was described in the paper. One was his 10Y grandson which was asymptomatic, his 46Y son that had renal cell carcinoma and pancreatic cysts or serous cystadenoma, a 47Y male distant relative had CNS hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, symptomatic pheochromocytoma, and pancreatic cysts/serous cystadenoma, and a deceased 37Y female distant relative had retinal hemangioblastoma. The paper also asserted that 7 other relatives were carriers of the mutation; 4 other relatives had CNS hemangioblastoma. It should be noted that genetic testing was not conducted on these seven relatives.

    1. VHL Variants

      This report studied the prevalence of germline variants in Japanese PPGL patients. Of the 370 PPGL original Japanese probands, this cohort consisted of 15 patients with pheochromocytoma and/or paragangliomas with germline VHL varaints. Blood samples were used to examine 7 genes: MAX, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127, VHL, and RET, using Sanger sequencing. Of these 15 VHL patients: 10 had bilateral PCC, 4 had PCC with abdominal/thoracic PGL, and one had metastatic PPGL. The variant V166F (c.496G>T) was one of the 15 found in a patient with PPGL. Their family history or further manifestations were not detailed.

      FamilyInfo: This family included three affected individuals and two of them were studied. The proband (IV-6) was a 23-year-old woman who was previously diagnosed with VHL disease and had a tumor in the cerebellum; VA and IOP were normal and no ocular manifestations of the disorder were recorded at examination. Her 36-year-old sister (IV-7) had a spinal cord HB. None of them presented ocular symptoms. Remarkably, her 55-year-old mother (III-8) did not exhibit any clinical manifestation of the disease. Three of her maternal uncles (III-1, III-2 and III-3) presented with cerebellar HB and one of them also had a renal cell carcinoma; In addition, her maternal grandmother (II-2) and her maternal grandmother's sister (II-3) had unspecified CNS tumors.

    1. Molecular and clinical analysis of 126 French VHL families tested for renal involvement revealed 92 different mutations. 90 of these families had renal involvement. The p.V166F (c.496G>T) germline variant of the VHL gene was detected in a family (ID 49).Member 2046 had no renal involvement. Member 1258 presented with mild renal disease. The paper states that this family is previously reported in PMID 12202531 and/or 9829912.

    1. pathogenic VHL mutation c. 232A>T; p. Asn78Tyr

      A retrospective series of case reports were analyzed to detect and compare changes in VHL disease-associated tumors before and after sunitinib treatment. Sanger sequencing of blood identified the mutations discussed. One case includes a 56 year old female with a c.232A>T mutation in the VHL gene, leading to a p.Asn78Tyr protein change. Her presentations included pancreatic endocrine tumour, renal cysts (identified at bilateral RCC), and unidentified back tumor. Her sister was identifies with the same point mutation of VHL and found with pancreatic NET. She died of the hemorrhagic stroke at age of 40 years. Other family members include a brother and nephew who each were identified with the same point mutation of VHL, but refused for further examinations for VHL-related lesions. The mother died of stroke at early of 50 years.

    1. c.500G > A

      43 Italian patients were molecularly analyzed for Von Hippel-Lindau disease based on clinical suspicion. Peripheral blood samples were directly sequenced on an automatic sequencer (ABI 3100, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) was used to detect partial or complete VHL gene deletions. Two of the 43 patients (patients 19 and 13) were found to have the missense mutation, c.500G>A in the VHL gene. Patient 19 had multiple hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and spinal cord as well as bilateral renal cell carcinoma. Patient 13 had hemangioblastoma (either of CNS or spinal cord-not indicated), ovarian cysts, pancreatic cysts, and renal cell carcinoma. Both patients had no family history and were classified as A2 (sporadic patients with involvement of at least two distinct organs).

    1. except for one proband with multiple CNS hemangioblastomas and pancreatic cysts and his mother with multiple retinal angiomas.

      27 index patients suspected of having VHL disease from unrelated Chinese families and their relatives were studied. The nucleotide were numbered according to the sequence numbering by Latif et al, 1993 and this was converted to NM_000551.3. The paper did not differentiate between a pancreatic cysts and tumor and presented these together as a 'pancreatic lesion'. The paper summarized the phenotypes of the families together. Family 27 was not recorded with a documented VHL mutation. In the paper it is recorded as “?”. The proband is a Chinese male with multiple CNS hemangioblastomas and pancreatic cysts. His mother had multiple retinal angiomas, but also no recorded VHL mutation. No further information was given.

    1. Functional studies of the pVHL mutants show a gradual loss of function correlated to the phenotype severityTo evaluate the impact of these different mutations on HIF regulation, we performed a functional in vitro analysis by measuring the ability of the mutants to bind to a proline-hydroxylated HIF-1α peptide (HIF-OH). The R200W mutation had no effect on the ability of pVHL to bind to HIF-OH compared to the wild type protein (Fig. 3A). In contrast, R161Q moderately affected this binding and R200W+R161Q completely prevented it. Therefore, the addition of the two mutations appeared to have an additional impact on the pVHL loss of function. We then performed a comprehensive in cellulo study. Each VHL mutant construct harboring missense mutation was then reintroduced into the VHL-defective renal cancer cell line 786.O, which over-expresses HIF-2α. Many attempts were unsuccessful to reintroduce classical VHL constructions in the cells, stably or transiently, toxicity (22) and non reproducible results being observed, especially for the wild type and the VHL-R200W vectors. We therefore used a lentiviral inducible system. The pVHL proteins were not tagged in order to provide protein products that fully mimicked the endogenous protein. Clones were selected based on equivalent mRNA level expression (Supplementary Fig. S3). Immunoblotting of clones expressing the wild-type or various mutated pVHL showed that the HIF-2α protein was differentially stabilized by the different mutants in the same order of severity (Fig. 3B) as was observed with the molecular dynamics simulations: wild type ≥ R200W > R161Q > R200W+R161Q. The inducible system showed weak variable leaks (Fig 3B, overexposed pVHL blot), we therefore compared mutants only after full induction for the following experiments. To pursue this further, transcriptomic profiles from cells expressing the main representative mutants of each type of VHL disease (C162F [Type-1], R167Q [Type-2B], Y98H [Type-2A], L188V [Type-2C]) were obtained by microarray analysis. A hierarchical unsupervised clustering analysis showed a close correlation between the importance of the pVHL loss of function and the severity of the developed phenotype (Fig. 3C).
    1. Val84Leu mutation in the Von Hippel-Lindau gene

      At age 9, a male caucasian patient was admitted with hypertension and tachicardia. His history included café-au-lait spots since birth, four months of night sweats and three weeks of fevers, bifrontal headaches and fatigue. An MRI scan showed a 3cm left adrenal mass and an MIBG showed increased activity in the left adrenal gland. One month later the patient underwent a successfull adrenalectomy. Four years post-surgery, the patient presented with bitemporal headaches, fatigue and low-grade fevers but both MRI and MIGB are inconclusive. One year later, symptoms worsened, MRI results were negative. At 18Y he later relapsed with another adrenal pheochromocytoma which was resected. DNA analysis showed a germline mutation Val84Leu in VHL. This mutation could correspond to either c.250G>C or c.250G>T. Neither of the parents carried mutations of the VHL gene. ACMG evidence codes: 'PS2' since both parents are tested and do not present with the variant (de novo), 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. Result: 30 year old female presented with headache, palpitation, epistaxsis for 2 months. On examination: Bp 210/110 mmHg, physical examination unremarkable. On Investigation: Ultrasound revealed a Rt adrenal mass and a pancreatic mass, which was confirmed on a CECT abdomen pelvis. A CECT brain revealed a cerebellar haemangioblastoma. With these findings diagnosis of probable VHL made. Patient then underwent molecular genetic testing and was found to have heterozygous mutation in C293A. C in the VHL gene. Metabolic workup and Bp control was done by endocrinology After adequate BP control patient posted for adrenalectomy. Patient underwent an uneventful adrenalectomy. On HPE the diagnosis of adrenal pheochromocytoma was confirmed. Department of neurosurgery performed surgery for cebellar haemangioblastoma and in the GI surgery department were she underwent a distal pancreaticospleenectoy. Patient was then desirous of pregnancy. Department of OBG counselled her and she had a planned conception. She was managed for severe pre eclempsia, pregnancy in a fibroid uterus by OBG and endocrinology, and she delivered a healthy chid. Patient is presently a controlled hypertensive and is on regular follow up.

    1. c. 499 C > T (p.Arg167Trp)

      37 Danish patients diagnosed with VHL before 18 years from a prospective cohort study from Denmark's National vHL Research Database (Binderup et al., 2013) were assessed. One family with 2 patients (Family ID7) was found with a germline missense mutation in the VHL gene (R167W; c.499C>T). Patient 1 was diagnosed at 4Y and had 3 retinal hemangioblastomas at 8Y and 16Y. Patient 1 was 40 by the end of the study. Patient 2 was diagnosed at age 13Y and had no manifestations by the end of the study when they were 36Y.

    1. Genetic testing of the VHL-gene Sample collection and preparation – Blood samples were collected and constitutional DNA was extracted from 200 μl using the Qiagen blood DNA mini kit™ according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA, USA). Primer sequences for amplification of the individual exons of the VHL gene (accession no. NM_000551.2) were established (Table 2). PCR conditions were as follows: 25 pmol of each primer, 150 μm of each dNTP and 20–70 ng of DNA template as substrate were amplified in a total volume of 25 μl using 1.25 units optimase and corresponding buffer (Transgenomic Inc., Omaha, NE, USA). Amplification consisted of two rounds of cycling initiated by a denaturation step of 95°C for 5 min followed by 16 cycles for 30 s, touchdown annealing decreasing 0.5°C/30 s cycle from 65 to 58°C linked to a 30-s 72°C extension. This profile was directly followed by 22 cycles at 95°C, 58°C, 72°C, each step 30 s and a final extension for 5 min.
