      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).

      This abstract presented a case of a 37Y F with pheochromocytoma in her right adrenal. Family history was significant for 1 sister who died just after delivery from severe hypertensive crisis, and a 26Y niece with left adrenal tumor and pancreatic tumor. Genetic sequencing analysis of VHL coding regions revealed Q164R (c.491A<G) mutation in the patient and her still asymptomatic 5Y daughter.

    1. Sharma and Jha20 reported a 17-year-old girl who suffered SAH of a right posterior communicating artery aneurysm. After she developed hemangioblastomas, gene sequencing revealed the mutation c.256C > T in the VHL gene (exon 1). This mutation led to a proline to serine substitution at amino acid position 86.

    1. Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas are rare tumors in the pediatric population that arise from neural crest cells. Prompt recognition and treatment are necessary to limit morbidity. Compared to adults, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma in children are more likely to be associated with an underlying genetic syndrome, and genetic testing should be pursued. These tumors can produce catecholamines and present with symptoms such as sweating, nausea, emesis, hypertension, or diarrhea, or they can be nonfunctional and present with symptoms related to mass effect. Evaluation is initiated with measurement of urine and plasma metanephrines and diagnosis confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging. Definitive treatment occurs via surgical excision. A multidisciplinary team specifically trained in the management of pediatric PHEO and PGL is necessary for optimal patient care.

      An 11-year-old boy with a 2-week history of nausea and vomiting was found with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma. Two years later he also developed a right paraspinal paraganglioma. Each were resected. The patient is now 17Y old and had no other VHL disease manifestations. Genetic testing found a c.250G>A mutation in the VHL gene. His father and paternal aunt had histories of pheochromocytoma but genetic testing for family members was not described. ACMG PP4

    1. After surgery, an ophthalmological examination disclosed a retinal capillary hemangioma on the right side in this patient. A history of retinal capillary hemangioma was also documented in the patient's mother and maternal aunt. Abdominopelvic CT and whole-spine MRI were performed to evaluate the involvement of VHL disease in other organs and were unremarkable. A genetic study using polymerase chain reaction sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification eventually confirmed VHL disease in this patient by identifying a VHL gene mutation (c.208G > A [p.Glu70Lys]).

      A 12Y old boy presented with symptomatic hemangioblastoma in the medulla. After surgical removal of the hemangioblastoma, he was also found with retinal capillary hemangioma of the right eye. PCR and MLPA genetic studies identified a germline VHL mutation c.208G>A in the patient. His mother and maternal aunt had a history of retinal capillary hemangioma but were not available for genetic testing. The patient was followed-up for 1 year 7 months with no complications. ACMG PP4

    1. 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.

    1. 407 C to T VHL gene mutation

      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).

    1. 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).

    4. 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.

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

    2. A retrospective cohort study included all the VHL patients diagnosed at Peking University First Hospital (Beijing, China) prior to June 1 2016. A total of 291 patients from 115 different families were included for analysis. This mutation (p.N90I, c.269A>T) was found in two families (#27 and #28). Family #27: A male proband (patient (pt) 28) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 28Y, renal cell carcinoma at 38Y, multiple pancreatic tumours or cysts at 38Y, and pheochromocytoma at 38Y (mutation confirmed); his Aunt 2 (pt 85) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 50Y (mutation confirmed); son of Aunt 2 (pt 86) had no manifestations but his age is unknown (mutation confirmed); granddaughter of Aunt 2 (pt 87) had no manifestations but her age is unknown (mutation confirmed). Three family members passed away before diagnosis/ before they could be confirmed with the mutation: the proband's Mother (pt 82) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 33Y; Aunt 1 (pt 83) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 30Y (mutation confirmed); son of Aunt 1 (pt 84) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 30Y (mutation confirmed). Family #28: the male proband (pt 88) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 20Y and retinal angioma at 30Y (mutation confirmed); his Brother 1 (pt 89) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 33Y (mutation confirmed); his Mother (pt 90) was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 63Y, renal cell carcinoma at 63Y, and multiple pancreatic cysts or tumours at 63Y (mutation confirmed); and Brother 2 (pt 91) passed away before he could be diagnosed with VHL disease/ before the mutation could be confirmed but was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 16Y.

      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.

    1. 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.

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.

    2. 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.

    1. c.407T>C, p.(Phe136Ser)

      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.

    2. 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 R176fs (c.526del) causes a frameshift, an early stop codon at amino acid 201. It was found in two VHL families of a combined total of 3 patients. One patient had retinal hemangioblastomas diagnosed at 18Y, three had cerebellar hemangioblastomas, and one had renal cell carcinoma diagnosed at 50Y.

    3. Genotype-phenotype correlations of 573 VHL patients 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). A missense mutation, affecting residue within the pVHL protein core, (P86L(c.257C>T)) was found in a VHL patient with retinal hemangioblastomas and cerebellar hemangioblastomas.

    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 renal cell carcinoma. In 10/64 patients, at least one or more renal cell carcinoma 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. The c.464-1G>C splice site mutation (listed in the paper as c.677-1G>C due to an older reference sequence being used) was found in patient 55. Clinical manifestations include renal cell carcinoma; other manifestations are possible, but were not discussed in the paper.

    1. 21 missense mutations, 5 nonsense mutations

      Among patients prospectively followed by the members of the French VHL Study Group, 35 consecutive patients with well-documented endocrine pancreatic tumour (20 women and 15 men; median age,37 [21Y-57] years) were included. The data from 7 patients with EPT have been partially reported previously in Hammel et al., 1995;2000. All 35 patients had VHL germline mutations and were assessed for the presence of pheochromocytoma and renal carcinome in addition to pancreatic tumours. The presence of other phenotypes was not described. Patient no. 16 from family 48 had a missense mutation in the VHL gene (c.345C>G) and presented with pancreatic endocrine tumour. The patients' phenotypes are highly specific to VHL disease (PP4) and disease-causing missense variants are common in VHL disease (PP2).

      20 individuals in 12 unrelated Brazilian families were referred for clinical suspicion of Von Hippel-Lindau disease. 16 of these individuals from 8 families fulfilled classical VHL diagnostic criteria and were sent for genetic testing on peripheral blood lymphocytes. 1 patient from a single family (family 2) was confirmed to have the Q73*(c.217C>T) stop mutation. The mutation was absent in the individuals asymptomatic brother and parents, and her only child has not undergone predictive testing yet. Clinical manifestations included: endolymphatic sac tumor diagnosed at 11Y, retinal angiomas at 16Y; hemangioblastoma, renal, pancreatic, and hepatic cysts at 29Y. ACMG evidence codes: 'PSV1' because they observe a nonsense variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, and 'PP1' because of segregation results.

    1. Screening of 92 unrelated patients with VHL disease revealed 61 DNA variants. No variants were found in 96 control cases. Direct sequencing on peripheral blood was systematically performed on exon 1 PCR products. Southern blotting was used to search for larger alterations to the gene. The Q96* (c.286C>T) mutation was found in a VHL type 1 (no pheochromocytoma) patient (patient no. V77).

      A study of 103 patients with VHL retinal manifestations and 108 patients without VHL retinal manifestations extracted from the French VHL database revealed that the number of hemangioblastomas appeared higher in patients who had a substitution when compared with patients with a truncated protein. Detected by PCR and SSCP, this mutation was found in a 1 patient with retinal hemangioblastomas. Other manifestations are not clearly stated. No family information or relation was provided. Paper describes this as a frameshift via c.197del24 (p.66) - assumed to be p.N67_V74del (c.197_220del).

    1. A 38-year-old male patient visited the Department of Urology at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College on 27 April 2015, due to the detection of a mass in the right kidney during physical examination. The patient had previously undergone extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in February 2010 at Changzheng Hospital (Zunyi, China) for the treatment of kidney stones (details are unknown). There was no history of hypertension, infectious diseases or allergy.

      CaseHPOFreeText: The patient was treated for kidney stones at age 33. At age 38 he was found to have a mass in the right kidney. Upper abdominal CT revealed the presence of multiple nodules and lumpy low-density areas in the left and right kidneys with uneven density. Multiple round low-density lesions were observed in the left and right kidneys, and in the pancreas. Brain CT revealed no abnormalities, but sphenoiditis was observed on the right side. Thoracic MRI revealed a round-shaped mixed signal (diameter, 12.0 mm) in the sixth thoracic vertebra. Contrast-enhanced scanning revealed minor enhancement, which appeared to indicate the presence of a hemangioma. Postoperative pathological analysis confirmed that the tumor was a clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

    1. In family 9 in our series, we identified a VHL germline mutation(470 C>T, Pro86Leu) in a 53 years old woman (proband 9) with asynchronous bilateral renal clear cell carcinomas, multiple renal cysts and pancreatic cysts and with no positive family history, in her younger brother with a single phenotype (pancreatic cysts),and in her niece with no detectable VHL lesions. It is of interest that we find the same mutation in another unrelated VHL family (family 10) in which affected patients have severe phenotypes including multiple CNS haemangioblastoma, retinal angiomas, bilateral RCCs and pancreatic cysts. Compared with the family 10, it is very likely that the affected members in the family 9 will develop CNS haemangioblastoma and retinal angiomas in the future.

    2. 5 nonsenses

      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 summariezed the phenotypes of the families together. Family 15 was found with p.Trp117* mutation in the VHL gene: 2/4 members had CNS hemangioblastoma, 2/4 had retinal angioma, 2/4 had RCC, and 1/4 had a pancreatic lesion. ACMG PP4

    1. Leu163Phe (700C-T)

      Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and PCR amplifications of the three exon regions were performed. 4 of 5 families presenting with non-syndromic familial pheochromocytomas were found to have VHL germline mutations. The mutation L163F (referred to in the paper by 700C>T due to a difference in transcript sequence) of the VHL gene was found in one proband. Their family was not available for genetic testing. The patient and their familial members had no clinical manifestation of hereditary syndromes, including MEN 2A, MEN 2B, VHL disease, and NF1. The laboratory and image examinations also excluded the presence of the above-mentioned hereditary syndromes. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. missense 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 C162Y (c.485G>A) was referred to in the paper by c.698G>A) due to a difference in transcript sequence. This missense mutation was found in a VHL family without PC (Family 42).

      Tissues embedded in paraffin blocks were collected from 203 cHAB patients operated in different Medical Centres in Poland. Eight of these harboured germline mutations in unrelated patients from distinct undiagnosed VHL families. Various variants were unverified as somatic or germline as they were detected in tumour but blood samples were not tested. Other phenotypes and demographic information is not known. Patient 7 was found with a germline p.Ser65Pro mutation in the VHL gene.

    1. c.320G > A p.Arg107His

      216 patients with clinically expected VHL disease due to family history or presence of VHL typical tumours were routinely examined in an eye centre in Germany between January 2019 and January 2020, majority of which were of European descent (~95%). Since data on the genotype–phenotype correlation of the onset of Retinal Hemangioblastoma (RH) is scarce in relation to VHL disease, this study wanted to inversitage the relationship between VHL gene variants (truncating vs single amino acid substitutions) and the ocular phenotype of the disease. 42 different rare VHL gene variants in 148 patients were detected - some of whom had RH and some who did not. Although date of onset of RH, as well as data on central nervous system haemangioblastomas (CNSH), pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL), clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PNEN) were collected, it was not reported on a per patient basis and therefore could not be discussed per variant. Out of the 4 patients with a p.R107H (c.320G>A) mutation, 80% (4/5) of individuals had RH while the other 20% (1/5) did not. No family information was provided.

    1. Case 2This subject is a female, 31 years old, who is the daughter of the subject in case 1 and was diagnosed as “seronegative arthritis” at the age of 12 along with a sympathetic polyarticular pain of the extremities. At 29-years-old, she was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. The symptomatic treatment was ineffective. Deformation of joints was found in the extremities. She is currently unable to walk independently. In 2018, CT scans revealed multiple cysts in her kidney and pancreas but no abnormalities in her brain. VHL gene examination showed 1 missing variation (Fig. 6). The mutation site was the same as that in her father. She was diagnosed with VHL syndrome based on the results of genetic testing and her family history. Fig. 6VHL gene testing results of case 2.

Tumor samples obtained by LCM were digested at 50°C overnight with 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8), 2 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, 0.2% Triton X-100, and 0.1 mg/ml proteinase K in a final volume of 10 µl. Manually microdissected tissue was digested overnight at 50°C in lysis buffer (Xtrana, Broomfield, CO) with 20 µg proteinase K. In either case, proteinase K was inactivated by 5 minutes of boiling. The DNA was extracted from the digested tissue samples by using a DNA extraction kit (Xtrana Xtra Amp series III; Xtrana). The DNA was bound to immobilized glass beads in 200-µl PCR tubes and washed according to the manufacturer's protocol.All three VHL exons were amplified by PCR in which intronic primers were used (Table 2) as described previously.44,51 The PCR amplification with isolated DNA was performed in two steps. First, a 50-µl PCR booster reaction was done according to the manufacturer's instructions, using a 10-nM mix of VHL exon 1, 2, and 3 primer sets in buffer G (FailSafe; Epicentre, Madison, WI) with the following cycle parameters: 94°C, 5 minutes; 10 cycles of 94°C, 20 seconds; 58°C, 20 seconds; 72°C, 40 seconds, with a final extension of 72°C, 2 minutes.

      VariantEvidence: These variants segregated in 6 patients of this family who developed VHL disease and were absent in 4 healthy tested descendants, indicating their presence on a single disease-associated allele. Sequencing of tumor DNA did not display loss of heterozygosity, suggesting that a WT VHL deletion (as observed in classic VHL disease) may not be a prerequisite in cells of patients with this specific VHL genotype.

    1. Patient From Family 2A 4-year-old boy who showed echogenic kidneys and enlarged kidneys at 35 weeks prenatally and who presented with renal cysts soon after birth (Table 1) was referred to the McMaster Children’s Hospital (Hamilton, ON, Canada). His renal function was normal, with an eGFR of 132 (based on the Schwartz formulaS13). On ultrasound, multiple small cortical cysts were seen in both kidneys. The largest cyst measured 13 × 9 × 9 mm in the upper pole of the right kidney and 14 × 13 × 10 mm in the lower pole of the left kidney. The right kidney measured 7.2 × 4.4 cm and the left kidney 7.7 × 3.5 cm, which is within the normal range at this age. There was a mild increase in size compared to 6 months earlier (right kidney: 6.5 × 3.3 cm; left kidney: 7.0 × 3.0 cm), but no hydronephrosis or hydroureter. Corticomedullary differentiation was preserved, and there were no signs of hydronephrosis or hydroureter. In the last 2 years, his ultrasound findings were stable, with mild interval enlargement of the renal cysts and mild interval growth of both kidneys. He continued to grow well. No albuminuria or high blood pressure were reported.The families of both of his parents had been diagnosed with ADPKD (Figure 1). Sanger sequencing of both PKD1 and PKD2 showed that his mother is a carrier of a pathogenic truncating PKD2 mutation in exon 1 c.124_125ins52bp p.(Ala42fs∗66) and his father has a truncating PKD1 mutation in exon 18 c.7288C>T p.(Arg2430∗). The young boy was affected with bilineal inherited disease, that is, carrying the paternal PKD1 truncating mutation and the maternal PKD2 truncating mutation.The father was tested presymptomatically at age 18 years because of a positive family history for ADPKD and turned out to carry the familial PKD1 mutation. At age 31, he showed moderate disease progression, with eGFR 56 ml/min per 1.73 m2 and Ht-TKV of 1246 ml/m (Mayo class 1D). Other affected older relatives of the father reached renal failure between 46 and 50 years of age.His mother was also tested presymptomatically at age 19 years because of a positive family history. She carries the PKD2 mutation. At age 28, ultrasound imaging showed mildly enlarged kidneys with small cysts bilaterally. At age 30, her eGFR was 56 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Both parents showed mild liver cysts. There are multiple older affected relatives of the mother, all having the typical mild disease.Go to:DiscussionHere we describe, for the first time, 2 patients carrying a truncating mutation both in PKD1 and in PKD2. The patient described in case 1 developed ESRD at a young age, and the patient described in case 2 was diagnosed postnatally with cysts in both kidneys. Both patients had rapidly progressive disease that was more severe than that of their family members, who had only 1 mutation. The patient described in case 1 required kidney transplantation at the age of 38 years, which was much earlier compared to his father, who received a kidney transplant at the age of 60 years, as well as when compared to the median age for ESRD in patients with truncating PKD1 mutations of 58 years.2 Of interest, the patient described in case 1 also showed an extreme liver phenotype, suggesting that the combination of mutations also affects the growth of liver cysts.The patient described in case 2 showed early presentation of a few renal cysts, detected postnatally by ultrasound, and at age 4 years, multiple cortical cysts could be seen. It is likely that this patient has a more progressive disease than the parents but data at young age from the parents or other affected relatives are not available. An alternative explanation could be the involvement of yet another gene. Therefore, a gene panel−based Next Generation Sequencing approach was used. Both index cases were analyzed for the presence of variants in a gene panel of 76 genes, postulated to be involved in cystic kidney disease (Supplementary Methods). In case 1, no additional variants were identified; however, in case 2, a heterozygous variant in the VHL gene ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_000551.3","term_id":"319655736","term_text":"NM_000551.3"}}NM_000551.3 (c.556G>A p.[Glu186Lys]) was identified. There are conflicting interpretations of this variant, either as class 3 or class 4 (Supplementary Methods), and it is unlikely that this variant will have an effect on the phenotype of the patient. The parents have not been screened for this variant.

      FamilyInfo: Patient 2 was an offspring of 1 family with 3 generations of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Dad had mild liver cysts and mom had mildly enlarged kidneys with small cysts bilaterally, as well as liver cysts at age 28Y0M. Both parents were diagnosed with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The mother is a carrier of a truncating mutation in PKD2 at 19Y0M, tested because of a positive family history of ADPKD. The father is a carrier of a truncating mutation in PKD1 at 18Y0M, tested because of a positive family history of ADPKD. The proband inherited both the maternal and paternal variants in addition to the VHL mutation. No information provided on whether the parents possess the VHL mutation (Pedigree: see Figure 1d)

    1. . In 2 cases, VHL disease was documented clinically

      12 cases of microcystic adenomas (serous cystadenomas) of the pancreas from the Laboratory of Pathology, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, and the New England Deaconess Hospital, Harvard Medical School were reviewed. Tissue resection by procured cells were used by which DNA was extracted and PCR was employes. SSCP gel electrophoresis was additionally employed on the 10 sporadic tumors. Two specimens, one autopsy (case 1) and one surgical pathology specimen (case 2), were from patients with VHL disease, although germline mutation analysis had never been performed in case 1. Case 2 was a 38Y male VHL patient with a known c.481C>T germline VHL mutation (updated from legacy notation in the paper which used AF010238.1). The patient had microcystic adenoma of the pancreas, renal cell carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma. Microsatellite marker analysis demonstrated LOH at 3p25 in the microcystic adenoma. Family history was not described.

    1. 2. Methods2.1. DNA ExtractionSaliva samples from two family members were collected in Iraq using Oragene•ONE (ON-500) (DNA Genotek) collection kits, which were posted by ordinary airmail to New Zealand, without temperature protection. Genomic DNA (gDNA) was isolated using the method described by the manufacturer (DNA Genotek, Inc., Ontario, Canada).Peripheral blood in EDTA was collected from two family members in New Zealand. gDNA was isolated using the Gentra Puregene DNA Extraction kit (Qiagen Pty Ltd). Spectrophotometric analysis of gDNA samples was undertaken using a Nanodrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Nanodrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA), and gDNAs were electrophoretically separated in a 2% E-gel (Life Technologies Corporation) for 7 minutes.2.2. Primer DesignThe mRNA sequence of the VHL gene was identified using the UCSC genome browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu/). This website provides a direct link to ExonPrimer for the design of primers flanking coding exons. ExonPrimer is a Perl script that uses a combination of Primer3 and Blat to design intronic primers against a cDNA of interest. All primers were checked for single nucleotide polymorphisms using the software tool available from the National Genetic Reference Laboratory, Manchester (https://ngrl.manchester.ac.uk/SNPCheckV3/snpcheck.htm). The primers were tailed with M13 sequences and were synthesised by Invitrogen Ltd (Figure 5).Open in a separate windowFigure 5Primers for the amplication of all coding exons of the VHL gene (Refseq accession number {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_000551.3","term_id":"319655736","term_text":"NM_000551.3"}}NM_000551.3). Blue and red coloured bases represent M13 sequences that tail the forward and reverse primers, respectively.2.3. PCRPCR was performed using 1U Faststart Taq DNA polymerase (Invitrogen Ltd), 50 ng genomic DNA, 2 mM MgCl2, and 0.8 μM forward and reverse primers, with the following cycle conditions: 95°C for 4 min, 35 cycles of 94°C for 45 s, 60°C for 30 s, 72°C for 30 s, and a final extension at 72°C for 10 min.

      This paper describes the clinical and genetic findings of 36 Spanish pediatric patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. Genetic testing involved sequencing and MLPA of VHL, RET, SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2, TMEM127, and MAX. The molecular analysis identified 8 patients with variants in the VHL gene. The missense mutation , c.284C>G, was found in patient 15 who had bilateral norepinephrine secreting pheochromocytoma and thoracic-abdominal paraganglioma (onset age 15 and 17). This patient is said to have been previously reported, although it is not specified where.

    1. We describe here a case of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease with a serous cystic neoplasm of the whole pancreas. The patient was a 35-year-old woman suffering from a palpable abdominal tumor. She had a history of hemangioblastomas of the cerebellum. CT revealed large solid tumors in the pancreatic head and body, and multiple cystic lesions in the whole pancreas as well as a right renal tumor. When endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed, bleeding from the duodenal papilla was detected. Since she had some distinguishing clinical features, the diagnosis of VHL disease was made. The preoperative diagnosis of the pancreatic lesion was serous cystic neoplasms with hemosuccus pancreaticus and total pancreatectomy was performed. Histological examination of the specimen revealed serous cystic neoplasms which occupied the entire pancreas. VHL cases operated on for serous cystic neoplasms of the entire pancreas are very rare.

      A case report of a 35Y old female Japanese patient with VHL was presented. Genetic testing confirmed the presence of the (c.233A>T) germline mutation. She had a history of cerebal hemangiomas treated by surgery 14Y previously (at 21 years old). At 35Y she was found with giant masses in the whole pancreas and a tumor of the right kidney (RCC). ACMG evidence codes: 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in a gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease, and 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes or family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

    1. A series of 28 pheochromocytomas from 28 patients from the Freiburg International Pheochromacytoma Registry were used to study for somatic point mutation variants and loss of heterozygosity. Whole blood leukocytes and tumor samples underwent direct sequencing of all three exons of the VHL gene, all eight exons of the SDHB gene, all six exons of the SDHC gene, all four exons of the SDHD gene, and exons 10, 11, and 13 of the RET gene. 9 out of 28 samples were from VHL germline mutation carriers. VHL-associated pheochromocytoma samples were collected from one patient (tumor ID 16) with germline missense (c.640T>G) VHL mutation. The patient was a 20 year-old male and presented with multiple benign adrenal pheochromocytomas. He also had a somatic RET mutation (c.2307T>G).
