Germline VHL mutations were found in all Korean 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 (p.R161*) identified in 22 year old Korean male with retinal hemangioblastomas (patient no. 2). Patient had confirmed family history of VHL disease and VHL type 1 phenotype. Supporting evidence of pathogenicity because of the introduction of an early stop codon in a gene where loss of function is an established mechanism of disease (ACMG code: PVS1).

A single, apparently non-familial case of Von Hippel-Lindau disease was identified in a Mexican patient. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and the entire VHL coding sequence was amplified using PCR and direct automated sequencing of VHL was performed. She was found to have the p.N99fs*131 (c.298_299insA) variant of the VHL gene. No family history was available as this patient was adopted. Genetic testing confirmed the presence of the above mutation. Funduscopic evaluation of the left eye revealed two temporal inferior retinal HBs accompanied by retinal hard exudate and fibrous vascular tissue that led to tractional retinal detachment.

Thirty-five unrelated patients suspected of having von Hippel-Lindau disease were analyzed and 32 VHL gene variants were found in 35 patients using PCR and SSCP by peripheral blood leukocytes. An association of clear cell renal carcinoma development with a relatively high loss of structural stability in VHL protein missense mutations was discovered. This missense mutation (Y175C) was found in a 32 year old patient with unilateral pheochromocytoma (patient no. F15). The patient also had a family history of pheochromocytoma.

A 32-year old man was consulted at the Polish VHL Registry as a member of a family with suspected von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL). He presented with endolymphatic sac tumour (19Y; 21Y); cerebral hemangioblastoma (24Y; 26Y); and retinal capillary hemangioblastoma. He had a germline missense VHL mutation NM_000551.3:c.194C>T(S65L) which was also found in two of his children. Note that the paper describes this variant as c.407C>T since it uses an older reference sequence (Latif et al.). His family members had lesions consistent with VHL disease including multiple central nervous system tumours (probable hemangioblastomas), renal tumours (probable renal cell carcinomas), pancreatic tumours (probable cysts and neuroendocrine tumours), temporal bone tumours (probable ELST), and loss of sight because of retinal detachment (probably in the case of retinal hemangiomas).

A case report of an Indian female patient presenting with bilateral pheochromocytoma, papilledema and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor at 18 years of age. Family history showed 3 family members who were likely affected with VHL; clinical manifestations included: CNS hemangioblastoma and pheochromocytoma. Genetic testing on blood revealed the presence of the mutation c.463+3A>G, referred to in the paper by c.IVS2+3A>G due to a difference in transcript sequence, which likely causes a splice alteration. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes or family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

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. The Q132* (c.394C>T) germline nonsense mutation was found in a VHL type 2 patient with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, retinal angiomas, and pheochromocytoma (family ID 108).

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. This splice site mutation, c.463+1G>A (reported as c.676+1G>A in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). This splice mutation was found in a VHL type 1 patient with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, retinal angiomas, pancreatic cysts, and renal cell carcinoma (family ID 107). This study contains very strong evidence for 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).

3 unrelated patients with unexpected or non-syndromic phenotypes, accompanied by a VHL component tumor received germline gene panel testing as part of the PROACTIVE study at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, each detected with a low penetrant variant. At age 52, patient 1 (male) presented with worsening lower abdominal discomfort. A CT scan and histopatholoy revealed a right renal solid mass consistent with renal cell carcinoma, which required a right radical nephrectomy. A year later, CT imaging, MRI and pathological examination revealed metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and spindle cell lipoma. 3 years later, progression in the liver and pancreas was noted. Somatic next generation sequencing testing revealed mutations in VHL and several copy number losses. As part of the PROACTIVE study, peripheral blood was collected. Sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis of 133 genes (including MAX/NF1/RET/SDHA SHDB/SHDC/SDHD/SDHAF2/TMEM127) revealed a heterozygous germline VHL L188V(c.562C>G) variant. A somatic VHL, c.445G>A (p.Ala149Thr) was also found. The patient's two sons have not been tested for the variant, however both have skin cancer. After genetic counselling, patient reported that his sister tested positive for the same mutation. She was diagnosed with metastatic lobular breast carcinoma at age 52 following pathological examination of the tumor specimen. Previous germline genetic testing using an 88-gene cancer panel revealed the heterozygous germline VHL L188V(c.562C>G) variant, further confirmed by testing a second blood sample. Both of her children had no VHL variants, but daughter has papillary thyroid cancer. She had no features of VHL until her death at age 61 from breast cancer. Similarly, other than ccRCC, patient 1 had no other features of VHL. Finally, their parents each had cancer: father with lung cancer, mother with skin cancer, as well as 8 other family members. No genetic make up was discussed in these members. ACMG: PP4

Of 31 Brazilian patients, one was found to harbour the c.74C>T (p.Pro25Leu) mutation of the VHL gene. Genomic DNA was extracted and all VHL coding regions were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. MLPA was performed to investigate large deletions using SALSA® MLPA® P016 VHL probe mix. Data analysis was performed with Genescan 3.7. This patient, age 17, presented with pancreatic endocrine tumor, pancreatic cyst, CNS hemangioblastoma and retinal hemangioblastoma. This patient was also found to harbour the germline c.256C>A (p.Pro86Thr). It is not clear if these mutations are familial. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patients present phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

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 (c.464-1G>A) was taken from the Munich, university of Freiburg and Institute of Pathology database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 48CE. It was reported in the paper as c.677-1G>A 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.

DNA samples of 20 members from the Chinese family with non-syndromic PCCs and 41 patients with apparently sporadic pheochromocytoma were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing, confirmed by Taqman probe. A 28 year old Chinese female patient (Proband 6) presented with unilateral pheochromocytoma, unilateral renal cyst and hypertension. Genetic testing confirmed a familial missense mutation at c.359G>C of the VHL gene. The patient has a mother (Carrier 8) confirmed with the same mutation, displaying the same manifestation. The patient's aunt (Carrier 9) and the aunt's cousin (Carrier 10) are also confirmed with the same mutation, but are asymptomatic.

12 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 phaeochromocytoma, 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. Two related patients were found with the germline p.Arg167Gln mutation. Patient 11, was a female patient diagnosed with hemangioblastoma of the optic nerve at age 35. She underwent surgery and was classified as "alive without disease". Patient 12, was a male diagnosed with suprasellar hemangioblastoma at age 30. His tumour could not be resected due to its high vascularization. He was followed up 10 years later and died due to the hemangioblastoma.

301 were enrolled in a prospective clinical protocol to evaluate the natural history of vHL-associated pancreatic lesions (NCT00062166). Of these, 69 patients with pancreatic manifestations of vHL disease and missense VHL mutations were included in the current study. Individual patient phenotype was not described, but overall of the 60 patients, 57 had RCC, 41 had CNS hemangioblastomas, 28 had retinal hemangioblastoma, 23 had pheochromocytoma. 36/69 patients were female and the mean age was 50.5 years old. All patients underwent genetic testing using Sanger sequencing and Southern Blotting. Three patients were listed with this missense mutation, c.233A>G.

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. Two patients from the same family (54) were found to harbour the c.528delG (177 Frameshift) VHL gene mutation, documented in the paper as c.741delG due to a difference in transcript sequence. Both patients presented with a cerebellar hemangioblastoma. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP1' since we have cosegregation with the disease in multiple affected family members, 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

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 227_228delTCT (Deletion of Phe 76) VHL gene mutation, documented in the paper as 440delTCT due to a difference in transcript sequence. This patient presented with renal cell carcinoma. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

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 5 had this hereditary PNET with the confirmed germline mutation: F136S (c.407T>C). 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.
