    1. c.481C>T p.Arg161Stop

      During the period from 2009 to 2012, 39 families with VHL disease were diagnosed with hereditary VHL disease at Peking University First Hospital Department of Urology were described as part of a broader study examining telomere length and anticipation. In these families, 19 families had two or more than two patients in two or more than two generations, including one family with obscure onset age. Therefore, a total of 57 patients with VHL disease from 18 families were enrolled in this study. Using peripheral blood and southern blotting, DNA sequencing was completed on the following patients. Family 15 involved one individual with a c.481C>T mutation leading to a p.Arg161Stop change. This individual, a male, presented with hemangioblastoma at 29, renal cell carcinoma at 29, pancreatic cysts at 36, papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis at 29, and endolymphatic sac tumor at 33. The patient’s father had died before diagnosis therefore no DNA sample available, however he presented with CNS hemangioblastomas at the age of 42. ACMG Evidence Code: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes and family histories are highly specific for VHL disease. 'PM4' because of the protein length change caused by the heavily premature stop codon.

    1. VHL: c.376G>A, p.Asp126Asn

      A cohort of 64 pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas were screened for a BRAF mutation using direct Sanger sequencing and QRT-PCR. Genomic DNA was extracted from fresh or frozen peripheral blood. Germline mutations of VHL, SDHB, SDHD, and RET genes were also observed. The VHL mutation c.376G>A (p.D126N) was reported in patient #10, a 7Y male with a mediastinum paraganglioma. No family history was reported here.

    1. Patients presenting with juxtapapillary capillary retinal angioma in Germany were queried for the presence of VHL mutations. Peripheral blood samples were obtained, exons of the VHL gene were amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and products were separated by single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) for the detection of intragenic mutations. Aberrant bands were sequenced to identify mutations. Southern blotting was performed to detect large deletions if the SSCP failed to show a band shift. One patient was found to have a c.492G>T VHL mutation (stated as c.705G>T in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). This patient (patient ID 5) was diagnosed at age 14 with juxtapapillary capillary retinal angioma, with no other VHL symptoms or family history.

    3. Patients presenting with juxtapapillary capillary retinal angioma in Germany were queried for the presence of VHL mutations. Peripheral blood samples were obtained, exons of the VHL gene were amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and products were separated by single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) for the detection of intragenic mutations. Aberrant bands were sequenced to identify mutations. Southern blotting was performed to detect large deletions if the SSCP failed to show a band shift. Two out of eleven unrelated patients presented with the missense mutation in the VHL gene c.292T>C (stated as c.505T>C in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). Patient 10 presented with retinal capillary hemangioma at age 34 and was followed up 4 years later during which time he did not develop any new lesions. The patient was indicated to have a family history of VHL but, it was not described. Patient 11, presented with retinal capillary hemangioma at age 17 years and 7 months. This patient had no family history of VHL. The patient developed a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma within 5 years of follow-up.

    1. gene mutation

      A 11-year-old girl with a history of bronchial asthma presented to the hospital with a an acute onset of breathlessness, chest discomfort, pallor and sweatiness and elevated blood pressure secondary to an adrenal tumour, which is consistent with a catecholamine crisis. She was given nebulised salbutamol at the emergency department and then referred to the paediatric team for hypertension. She started prazosin for initial control of her blood pressure. She had unexpectedly normal urinary metanephrine and catecholamine results, which placed doubt in an initial suspicion of pheochromocytoma. She improved spontaneously and underwent surgery later . Post-operatively, praozin was weaned off. Histopathological examination confirmed a pheochromocytoma with large central necrosis. However, while pheochromocytoma should still be suspected, other causes of adrenal mass associated with hypertension should be considered. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous VHL c.467A>G(p.Tyr156Cys) mutation. The sample used was not mentioned, but patient's father has the same gene mutation, suggesting a germline variant. Although, patient had no family history of malignancy. An abdominal ultrasound repeated in 6 weeks showed a reduction in the size of the lesion with no further intervention and remained asymptomatic on follow-up.

      Among patients prospectively followed by the members of the French VHL Study Group, 35 consecutive patients with well-documented endocrine pancreatic tumour(EPT) (20 women and 15 men; median age:37 [21-57 years]) were included. All 35 patients had VHL germline mutations and were assessed for the presence of pheochromocytoma and renal cancer in addition to pancreatic tumours. The presence of other phenotypes was not described. Patient No. 12 from family 240 was found with a germline c.470C>T (p.Thr157Ile) mutation in the VHL gene and presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour and pheochromocytoma. No additional family history information was included. For the genetic analysis direct sequencing of the 3 exons of VHL was performed for all the DNA. If no mutation was detected, Southern blot analysis was performed to detect large rearrangements. ACMG code(s): suggested PP4 since the patient's phenotypes are highly specific to VHL disease.

    1. c.497T > C

      All patients included in the study were VHL mutation carriers of 18 years or older examined between 1972 and 2012 in the VHL expertise centers University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) and University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU). Clinical data of 75 VHL mutation carriers were retrospectively retrieved from electronic and written patient record. Of these patients, one was found to harbour the c.497T>C germline mutation of the VHL gene. They presented with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and pheochromocytoma. Their age at the last follow-up was 27. Previously published in: PMID 24132471.

    1. c.505C>T (Tyr98His)

      A retrospective analysis of 164 patients waiting for surgery for hemangioblastomas at Freiburg University Medical Center, Freiburg, Germany was conducted. Bidirectional direct sequencing by use of an ABI PRISM 3130 DNA Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) was used to identify mutations in abnormal samples. One patient (#19) was found to carry a germline point mutation in the VHL gene c.292T>C, p.Tyr98His (stated as c.505C>T in the paper which uses the Latif sequence as reference). This female 75-year-old patient presented with a brainstem hemangioblastoma and elevated Hb levels indicative of polyglobulia. After the spinal hemangioblastoma was removed, the Hb level normalized. Family history was not described.

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.

    1. Methods: We report here one particular family carring a heterozygous R200W mutation associated, for the first time, with a typical von Hippel-Lindau disease (with pheochromocytoma, hemangioblastoma and renal cell carcinoma) (Olswang et al., 1998). We performed a comprehensive study with genotyping, phenotypic analysis, structural modeling, functional and transcriptomic studies of the R200W mutant in comparison to classical mutants involved in von Hippel-Lindau disease. For the first time, the use of inducible expression vectors encoding untagged VHL in the functional studies allowed the observation of very subtle effects.

    3. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients from 200 kindreds were analyzed. Higher risk of pheochromocytoma was associated with missense mutations that result in substitution of a surface amino acid (p<=0.004) than for patients with missense mutations that disrupt the structural integrity of the VHL gene product (pVHL) or other loss of function mutations (either germline deletions or truncating mutations). This missense mutation (R167Q(c.500G>A)) was found in 7 families with 33 affected members: 17 had retinal angioma, 9 had cerebellar hemangioblastoma, 5 had renal cell carcinoma, 15 had pheochromocytoma.

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. VHL T124fs (c.369del), written in the paper as c.367delG which automaps to c.369delG, results in a frameshift, a premature stop codon. It was found in a VHL patient with retinal hemangioblastomas diagnosed at age 19Y.

      VariantEvidence: Since this family was of German origin and was classified as a VHL Type 2A family, the authors chose to test 5 affected individuals (4612, 4613, 4796, 4799, 4801) and 7 unaffected individuals mutations at nucleotide 292. A novel migration fragment was identified in all 5 affected individuals in exon 1. None of the unaffected individuals showed this variant. DNA from patients 4612 and 4613 was amplified by PCR and subcloned resulting in the detection of the p.T112H (c.334T>C) variant. Sequencing in both directions confirmed this result. The other 3 affected individuals were not sequenced. Authors declare variant as “T547C (Y111H)” (assumed to follow legacy nomenclature) which was mapped to p.T112H (c.334T>C).

    2. Sanger sequencingExons and exon-intron junctions of the VHL gene were sequenced from DNA extracted from whole blood, as previously described.21WGSWhole-genome sequencing (WGS; for families F2, F3, and F7) was performed at the clinically accredited Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory at the John Radcliffe Hospital using the Hi-Sequation 4000 platform (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) in high-throughput mode.22,23 Analysis of single-nucleotide variants, short insertions/deletions, and copy number variants was conducted and is explained in detail in the supplemental Methods.Transcript detection and quantificationAfter reverse-transcription reactions (ThermoScientific), exon-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed using primers localized to flanking E1 and E3 exons. TaqMan real-time PCR were performed on 20 ng of complementary DNA (cDNA) with the quantitative PCR Mastermix (Eurogentec). Quantification of RPLP0 transcripts was used as internal control. The thresholds were determined using dilutions of plasmids containing coding sequences of each gene.RNA sequencingLibrary construction was performed with SureSelect Strand-Specific RNA Library Prep for the Illumina Multiplexed kit (Agilent Technologies). After purification (Macherey-Nagel), the fragment size of libraries was controlled using the 2200 TapeStation system (Agilent Technologies). Ten pM of each library was pooled and prepared according to the denaturing and diluting library protocol for Hiseq and GAIIx (Illumina) for cluster generation on the cBot system. Paired-end sequencing was carried out in a single lane on the HiSeq 2500 system (Illumina). Processing of reads is detailed in the supplemental Methods.Reporter assaysThe plasmid encoding the WT hemagglutinin-tagged VHL was kindly provided by William G. Kaelin Jr. An expression plasmid for the hypothetical X1 protein was constructed by subcloning the coding sequence after its synthesis (Life Technologies). Mutations of interest were introduced by site-directed mutagenesis (New England Biolabs); 786-O cells were transfected (Ozyme) with constructs encoding WT or mutant proteins, firefly luciferase under the control of hypoxia response elements, and Renilla luciferase for normalization.24 After 24 hours, luciferase assays were performed using the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega).Western blottingCell lysates from the luciferase reporter assay were loaded into a Bis-Tris Mini Gel (4% to 12%; Invitrogen). After transfer, the membrane (GE Healthcare) was subsequently incubated with a mouse anti-hemagglutinin antibody (BioLegend) and then a goat anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase–conjugated antibody (Jackson Immuno Research). Western blot using the mouse monoclonal antibody JD-1956 (patent #14305925.1-1402-2014; Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Etablissement Français du Sang) raised against human VHL was performed as described.8

    3. c.340+816A>C/c.340+816A>C

      The authors identify a new VHL cryptic exon (termed E1') deep in intron 1 that is naturally expressed in many tissues. Mutations in E1' are identified in 7 families with erythrocytosis and in 1 large family with typical VHL disease but without any alteration in the other VHL exons. In this study, the authors show that the mutations in E1' induced a dysregulation of VHL splicing with excessive retention of E1' and were associated with a downregulation of VHL protein expression. A patient of family F7, was found to have a germline mutation in the VHL gene, c.340+816A>C in a homozygous state. This patient was diagnosed with erythrocytosis at 7 years old. This patient's asymptomatic parents were also genetically tested and both were found to have the same germline variant.

      Genetic and clinical data from 63 patients with hereditary Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GpNET) and 145 with sporadic PNET (SpNET) were collected from two Polish endocrine departments from January 2004 to February 2020. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and the VHL and MEN1 genes were analyzed. The VHL gene was analyzed by Sanger sequencing and targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS), while the MEN1 gene was analyzed by by High-Resolution Melting, Sanger sequencing, Multiplex-ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and targeted NGS. Only patients with confirmed germline mutations were included in the the GpNET cohort. Out of 53 patients with VHL, only five were diagnosed with GpNET. Patient 3 had this hereditary PNET with the confirmed germline mutation: R167Q (c.500G>A). Comparison of the two cohorts revealed that patients with GpNET are diagnosed earlier, have longer overall survival, less frequent metastases, and their tumors are smaller and often multifocal compared to the SpNET group.

      540 patients from 187 unrelated Chinese VHL families at the Peking University First Hospital were all screened for VHL clinical features and germline mutations. Of these, clinical characteristics were observed in 258 patients from 80 unrelated Chinese families. These were reported in this study, grouped by the 21 mutations found. PCR and MLPA on peripheral blood detected the VHL mutations. Possessing the p.W88* (c.263G>A) mutation, 4 members belonging to 1 or 2 families [unclear] were described, and phenotypic information was given for this group. With ages ranging from 33.8Y +/- 17.6Y, hemangioblastoma was observed in 3/4 members, renal cell carcinoma in 2, pancreatic cysts in 2, pheochromocytoma in 1 member, and a genital system tumor (epididymis or broad ligament) in 2 members. See more information as this cohort has been previously published in PMID 29330336 and 28388566.

    2. In our study, group 5 represented the c.262T > C p.Trp88Arg mutation that included 21 patients from 2 families (Figure 4 and Table 3). Variability was observed in the mean age at onset for CHB and RCC, which were 41.1 ± 9.1 (range = 29–62) and 37.4 ± 12.9 (range = 23–65), respectively.

    1. c.414A > G translates to p.Pro138Pro

      A 41-year-old asymptomatic caucasian male presented to his family doctor for VHL genetic testing due to family history of pheochromocytoma (PHEO). His sister was diagnosed with VHL disease after experiencing multiple tumors including paraganglioma of left carotid, spinal neuroma, bilateral adrenal PHEO and a skull based tumor with intracranial extension. His father, paternal grandmother and paternal great grandfather all had clinical history of PHEO. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous synonymous mutation P138P(c.414A>G) in the VHL gene, the same one as his sister. 6 years later, he remained asymptomatic but decided to take an MRI, revealing a PHEO in the left adrenal gland and hemangioblastomas in the spine and brain. An adrenalectomy was performed, as well as radiotherapy with a craniotomy and resection. The family received VHL testing, where the wife was found to have wildtype VHL. Out of their 3 children, the 2 fraternal twin daughters inherited the mutation and were diagnosed at age 4. They both presented with retinal hemangioblastomas without PHEO at age 7, where one twin needed four laser treatments. To examine the mechanism of how the synonymous mutation causes VHL, primary skin fibroblasts carrying the heterozygous mutation or wild type VHL were established from skin biopsies of the 5 individuals of the proband's family. To examine whether this mutation affects splicing and gene expression, RT-PCR was performed with Sanger sequencing. Mutant fibroblasts downregulated full length VHL mRNA and protein, and upregulated the short VHL mRNA isoform at the mRNA level, but not at the protein level. Despite being synonymous, the mutation is not functionally silent because it causes aberrant splicing by skipping exon 2. This highlights the need to include splicing-altering synonymous mutations into the screening for VHL disease. This is the first report on detecting and validating a synonymous VHL mutation using patient-derived fibroblasts.

    1. 33 patients diagnosed with VHL disease, according to (Maher et al. 1990), were tested for germline VHL mutations. Genetic testing was performed on high-molecular-weight DNA from peripheral blood using Southern analysis and PCR. One patient was found to harbour the c.464-1G>T (Splice) VHL gene mutation, documented in the paper as 677-1G>T due to an older transcript used. They presented with 7 instances of renal cell carcinoma. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    2. Germline mutations were found in twenty VHL probands and their families, of whom 17 presented with a family history (15 from Brazil, one from Portugal, and one from Ecuador). The germline P146Lfs*13 (c.436del) variant of the VHL gene was found in a VHL type 1 patient with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, retinal angiomas, renal carcinoma and a renal tumor <3cm in size (VHL family 13). The patient's mother was originally thought to be an asymptomatic carrier but was later discovered to have two occult hemangioblastomas (spinal and cerebellar) as well as multiple pancreatic cysts. This variant was not found in 120 alleles from normal subjects in the Brazilian population.

    1. Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder due to a mutation in a tumor-suppressor gene (VHLgene), localized in the 3th chromosome. It is characterized by the presence of more than 2 different tumors, including hemangioblastomas of the brain, spinal cord and retina; pancreatic cysts or pancreatic islet cell tumors; renal cysts and renal cell carcinoma; benign epididymal cystadenomas. Frequency of the described tumors varies widely in different families. About 10-20 % of all patients with VHL disease develop pheochromocytomas, characterized by significantly earlier occurrence, more frequently with multifocal localization and associated with a relatively lower frequency of malignancy compared to sporadic forms. There is a marked genotype–phenotype correlation – four phenotypic subclasses of VHL disease have been distinguished. The most problematic in clinical practice is subclass 2С, which is characterized by a phaeochromocytoma-only phenotype and is often misdiagnosed as a sporadic pheochromocytoma. We present a clinical case of a familial bilateral pheochromocytoma as the sole feature of the von Hippel-Lindau disease. This is the first family with this disorder described in our country. Performing a genetic analysis, a missence mutation – c.499 C>T(p.Arg167Trp) in exon 3 of the VHL-gene was identified.

    1. In this case report, the authors describe an unusual case of initial collapse, seizures, and hypertensive crisis in a child who later was found to have multiple extraadrenal pheochromocytomas. Molecular diagnostics revealed a novel point mutation in the VHL gene (VHL nt. 406 T-->G). Only 7 months after the first lesions had been removed, a new paraganglioma developed in the contralateral periadrenal region.

      FamilyInfo: No specific presentations were given for family history, however it was stated that the mutation was not found in the mother, yet the father’s DNA was not available for testing. The patient has 10 siblings, but all from a different father, none of which presented with a tumor or other severe disease known, and none was willing to be analyzed for the given mutation. It therefore cannot definitely differentiate between an inherited or a de novo mutation in this patient.

      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. One of the 43 patients (patient ID 8) was found to have a splice site mutation c.464-1G>A. This patient presented with CNS hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, and epididymal cysts. The patient had no family history and were classified as A2 (sporadic patients with involvement of at least two distinct organs).

    1. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations using SSCP analysis of PCR products by peripheral blood. The N78S (c.233A>G) mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by N78S (c.446A>G) due to a difference in transcript sequence. This missense mutation was found in a German, VHL type 1 family of 6. Each patient had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and 4 had cystadenomas of the epididymis (family VHL 51). This study contains supporting evidence of pathogenicity due to cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease (ACMG code: PP1).

    2. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations. The mutation of p.Q195* (c.583C>T) was referred to in the paper by c.796C>T due to a difference in transcript sequence. This nonsense mutation was found in 1 German family with 2 VHL type 1 family members both with retinal angiomas and hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system (family VHL 56). This study contains very strong evidence of pathogenicity in the form of a nonsense variant in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (ACMG code: PVS1).

    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 (p.Q132* (c.394C>T)) was taken from the Munich, university of Freiburg and Institute of Pathology database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 30CE. It was reported in the paper as c.607C>T 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. We observed 10 different intragenic mutations in 10/15 (66.7%) patients: five missense mutations, three nonsense mutations

      Germline VHL mutations were found in all patients who fulfilled clinical criteria for VHL disease. PCR and MLPA was done to detect each VHL mutation. No mutation of VHL was detected in other patients who did not meet clinical criteria. In all cases, samples from both parents were not available and evidence of de novo mutations could not further be evaluated. Nonsense mutation (Q73*) detected in a 47 year old Korean female with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system and renal cell carcinomas. Patient had confirmed family history of VHL disease and VHL type 1 phenotype. Only moderate evidence for pathogenicity because protein length changes as a result of stop-loss variant (ACMG code: PM4).

    1. VHL gene (nucleotide 695 G to A transversion)

      A case report presented a 8Y boy with an isolated benign phaeochromocytoma of the left adrenal. Three years later a second adrenal phaeochromocytoma was diagnosed on the right side and removed. Genetic analysis found a de novo (c.482G>A) germline missense mutation in the VHL gene (reported by the authors as nucleotide 695 G to A (legacy notation)). His family history was negative and both parents had wildtype VHL copies. At 18 years, the patient did not reveal any other manifestations of VHL disease. ACMG PP4: phenotypes consistent with VHL disease, PM6: de novo mutation with no paternity described.

    1. All registrants provided 10 ml EDTA-anticoagulated blood for molecular genetic analyses. The analyses comprised testing of the VHL (RefSeq:{"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_000551.2","term_id":"38045904","term_text":"NM_000551.2"}}NM_000551.2) and RET (RefSeq:{"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_020975.4","term_id":"126273511","term_text":"NM_020975.4"}}NM_020975.4) genes for germline mutations.

DNA was purified and quantified using a Nanodrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermal Fisher Scientific, DE). DNA fragments with sizes ranging from 350 bp to 450 bp and those including the adapter sequences were selected for the DNA libraries.The coding regions of 381 genes associated with retinal diseases were captured using the GenCap custom enrichment kit (MyGenostics, Beijing, China). Genomic DNA was fragmented and mixed with GenCap probe (MyGenostics, Beijing) for PCR and hybridization as previously described [7]. PCR products were purified using SPRI beads (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA), according to the protocol.The enriched libraries were sequenced using an Illumina Nextseq 500 sequencer (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) for paired-end reads of 150 bp. All mutations identified by Nextseq 500 sequencing were confirmed by PCR. The DNA samples were amplified with the forward primer 5′- CTGACCTCATGATCCGCCT-3′ and the reverse primer 5′- GGTCTATCCTGTACTTACCACAA-3′ (292 bp, VHL exon2 chr3:10188086-10188378). Genomic DNA from all available family members were obtained for PCR and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Sites of variation were identified through a comparison of DNA sequences with the corresponding GenBank (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) reference sequences.

Peripheral blood samples were taken from VHL disease patients and patients with familial or isolated pheochromocytoma/paragangliomas from Seoul National University Hospital, Ajou University Medical Center, and Kosin University Gospel Hospital, Korea. The entire coding and flanking regions of VHL were PCR amplified and the products were directly sequenced and re-sequenced to find and confirm VHL variants. Patient S-V1 was a VHL patient, 48Y old male with bilateral RCC and multiple renal cysts (ACMG PP4). Direct sequencing found a c.323_324delGC germline mutation in the VHL gene, which was also not found in 100 healthy individuals. (ACMG PS4) The patient had no family history of VHL but members were not available for genetic testing. The proband was also reported in PMID 25078357.

    1. 29 c.473dupT p.Leu158fs p.L158fs Familial VHL

      Between 1994 and 2001, the Dutch VHL working group conducted DNA analysis on 146 probands with VHL-associated manifestations. DNA of probands was extracted from peripheral blood samples. Exons 1, 2 and 3 of the VHL gene and their flanking untranslated and intronic coding sequences were amplified by PCR and subjected to semi-automated sequence analysis. Screening for structural rearrangements, including deletions, involving the VHL gene was performed by Southern blot analysis and the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay. Deletions encompassing the entire VHL gene were confirmed by FISH analysis on lymphocytes from affected individuals. VHL mutations were identified in 43 families. Family 29 has 8 affected members. Genetic analysis reveals the mutation in the VHL gene. The paper reports this as c.473dupT; p.Leu158fs, which maps to translation of K159Efs*15(c.473dupT). Out of the 8 affected members, 6 members had retinal capillary hemangioma, 2 members had CNS hemangioblastoma, 7 members had renal cell carcinoma, 6 members had renal cyst, 4 members had pancreatic cyst and 1 member had pancreatic carcinoma. ACMG: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotype and family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

      The 29 year old proband presented with history of RCC in the left kidney where no CNS involvement was detected. Vitritis and foveal detachment were detected in the right eye. Fundus examination revealed a retinal hemangioblastoma. The patient’s blood sample was collected and mutation analysis of VHL gene (NM_000551.3) was performed via Sanger sequencing. Mutation c.202T>C (p.Ser 68Pro) in exon 1 of the VHL gene was found. The proband’s first cousin (age 33) was also found to have this mutation. He had a history of CNS hemangioblastoma which was operated on. He reported vision loss in his left eye after the CNS operation. Three years later he underwent a partial right nephrectomy due to RCC. Fundus examination revealed optic nerve atrophy and two retinal hemangioblastomas at the equator in the left eye.

    1. A 65-year-old female was admitted to the outpatient clinic of the Urology Department, Peking University First Hospital, with a chief complaint of blood in her urine without pain in December of 2007. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed bilateral RCC with multiple renal cysts as well as multiple pancreatic cysts (Fig. 1). Fifteen years ago, the patient was also found to have multiple cysts in both kidneys. She had no other clinical manifestations usually associated with VHL, such as the symptoms from CNS, retinal or adrenal involvement. Because of the diffuse nature of her bilateral kidney lesions, radical nephrectomy was not possible. The patient died 1 year after initial presentation.

    1. Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is a tumor suppressor that negatively regulates the production of angiogenic factors. Mutations in the VHL gene cause VHL syndrome, which is characterized by highly vascularized tumors. Here we report a c.464T>A mutation of the VHL gene in three patients with hemangioblastoma from a Chinese family. This mutation was not reported previously and was absent in the unaffected family members. The mutation is predicted to cause Val to Glu substitution at VHL protein residue 155 in a conserved region. Previous biochemical studies demonstrated that residue Val-155 was critical for VHL protein binding to chaperonin TRiC/CCT, an essential step for proper VHL protein folding. Our finding of naturally occurring VHL V155E mutation in patients with VHL syndrome supports the functional importance of Val-155 residue in VHL protein and illustrates the diversity of VHL gene defects underlying VHL syndrome.

      ArticleReferenceSequence: Not specified – Assumption: variants assumed to have been documented by the author under reference sequence NM_000551.3

      GenotypingMethod: isolated genomic DNA from members and sequenced the exons and exon–intron boundaries of their VHL gene. Oligonucleotide primers to amplify VHL gene exons were designed by software Primer 5.0 according to the NCBI gene database. To verify the mutation identified and to exclude the possibility that the mutation may alter RNA splicing, peripheral blood cells were obtained from the proband and total RNAs were extracted using the Trizol kit (Invitrogen, USA). Complementary cDNAs were made using random primers. VHL cDNA were amplified by RT-PCR Amplified RT- PCR fragments were separated on agarose gels, purified and sequenced.

A collaborative investigation was begun in 1982 to document the number of affected members and the extent of their disease and to improve management of the disease. The condition has been documented in 38 members of the family, 28 living and 10 dead. The most common manifestations are retinal angioma (present in 60% of the gene carriers) and pheochromocytoma (present in 53%). Of the 28 living affected members 14 had been identified before the study began. Only 3 of the 14 patients in whom the disease was subsequently diagnosed presented with symptoms; in the remaining 11 the condition was detected by routine screening. Overall the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 23 years; in the 21 affected members of the fourth generation it was 18 years.

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 splice site variant c.464-1G>A was identified in two unrelated patients: patient #22 and patient #38. This mutation was noted as c.677-1G>A in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used (see Table S3).

    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%.

      Patients presenting with cerebellar hemangioblastomas at the Mexican National institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery to were prospectively enrolled alongside family members, resulting in 84 patients in 7 families with VHL mutations, and subjected to peripheral blood draw and PCR-based mutation screening, as well as full clinical screening for symptomatic individuals. One patient had a c.256C>T mutation identified, leading to a P86S missense mutation. This patient presented at 30Y with a history of recurrent cerebellar hemangioblastoma, kidney cysts, and bilateral renal cell carcinoma. Family history was not indicated.

    1. 505 (T to C)

      Peripheral blood from 116 VHL-affected patients in an interrelated group of 14 German and 2 American families with common ancestry was tested for mutations of the VHL gene. In most familial cases, one affected member was analyzed with, and VHL was diagnosed clinically in this index person, with a revealed c.292T>C mutation leading to a p.Tyr89His missense protein change. It is unclear as to whether the additional patients had this precise mutation, although assumed. This mutation was stated in the paper as a c.505T>C mutation due to an older reference sequence. Among these 16 families, 116 affected patients were noted to have: 57 retinal angiomas, 17 CNS hemangioblastomas, 73 pheochromocytomas, and 4 renal cell carcinomas. Additionally, VHL family 12 was found with segregation as 4 male patients were said to have the mutant allele, and 2 asymptomatic patients were also noted in this family. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP1', with the allele significant cosegregation with the disease in family members for a gene known to cause the described syndrome, and 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes or family histories are highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. Given the apparently nonsyndromic presentation, positive SDHB/A IHC, and noradrenergic secretory phenotype, exonic sequencing of VHL was performed next.5 Exonic sequencing revealed a c.361G>C missense variant in codon 121, changing the encoded amino acid from aspartic acid to histidine (p.Asp121His). Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) revealed no VHL deletion or duplication. The c.361G>C variant was not documented in the Universal Mutation Database (UMD) locus-specific VHL database.7 There was one report of this variant in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD); however, its pathogenicity was not established.8 The original reference reports a single individual with classic VHL and c.361G>C; however, no data confirming the pathogenicity of the variant is presented.9

    1. a deletion of a single nucleotide in exon 2

      A case report describes a 29-year-old man presenting with recurrent spinal hemangioblastomas and a negative family history for VHL. PCR/SSCP analysis with primers from the VHL gene identified a deletion of a single T nucleotide in exon 2 from the pentametic thymidines nucleotides 653-657 of exon 2 (reference transcript AF010238.1 converted to NM_000551.3 and HGVS nomenclature: c.444del) in the patient's germline and the tumor tissue, but not in the DNA of his parents or sister, supporting a de novo mutation. Other family history included an aunt who died from breast cancer at age 46 and a grandfather who died of leukemia at age 56 and these are not suspected to be VHL cases. Clinical work-up also identified clear cell RCC, renal cysts, and pancreatic cysts in the proband. ACMG: PM6

    1. A complete genetic characterization of five susceptibility genes (VHL, RET, SDHB, SDHC and SDHD) was performed on a cohort of 240 patients, 135 of which presented with an apparently sporadic pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (no family history of disease). Out of 135 sporadic cases, 14% (19/135) aged between 12 and 67 years (mean, 33.3 years) showed a germline mutation in one of 5 susceptibility genes analyzed (RET, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, and VHL.) Note that the sampling method for germline testing is not clear in this paper. A single patient (unknown sex/age/ethnicity), presenting with a single adrenal pheochromocytoma (with no other tumors and no family history of pheochromocytoma) was found to have the germline mutation p.R161Q (c.482G>A) in the VHL gene. The complete genetic characterization of the five susceptibility genes mentioned in this paper included point mutation analysis of all exons and intron-exon boundaries. In order to assess the meaning of undescribed variants, the authors used DNA from 1000 unrelated and unaffected individuals as a control population.

    1. 36 VHL-related pheochromocytomas (from 21 patients) and 10 VHL-related CNS hemangioblastomas (from 6 patients) were studied using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to detect genetic imbalances. Patient IV with VHL-Associated hemangioblastoma was found with a germline missense mutation (c.486C>G) in the VHL gene (stated as c.699C>G in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference) in the VHL gene. All patients have familial VHL.

    1. The cytosine replaced the 716th guanine on four patients and three carriers of virulence gene from the first family, which made the 168th serine replaced by threonine.

At least 5 additional members had VHL phenotypes, but had all passed away before genetic testing. Could be assumed and deduced their genetics due to pedigree showing future linear relations of this mutation all in generation III.
