    1. Case 2. A 33-year-old male patient (who is the first cousin of Case 1) was referred to the retina department. He was operated on because of a CNS hemangioblastoma 3 years earlier (Figure 4). The patient stated that he had vision loss in his left eye after the CNS operation. About 2 weeks earlier, a partial right nephrectomy operation was performed due to RCC (Figure 5).Open in a separate windowFigure 4Preoperative and postoperative magnetic resonance images of the CNS haemangioblastoma (Case 2).Open in a separate windowFigure 5Abdominal computerized tomography image of Case 2. Renal cell carcinoma in the right kidney (preoperatively).Best-corrected visual acuity was 1.0 on the Snellen acuity chart in the right eye and no light perception in the left eye. Biomicroscopic examination was normal in both eyes. The fundus examination revealed optic nerve atrophy and two RH at the equator in the left eye, and was normal in the right eye. Fundus fluorescein angiography showed that hyperfluorescence and fluorescein leakage was caused by the lesions. Hyper reflectance was observed under the cross-section of the RH, and the macular section was normal in OCT (Figure 6). The same mutation as in Case 1 was also detected in the genetic analysis (c.202T>C, p.Ser

      Case: M, 77Y0M, Ethnicity Unknown

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: The patient’s mother and two brothers had died with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, although genetic testing was not performed. One of the patient’s four children, a 46Y male, also presented with a small renal tumour, renal cysts, and pancreatic cysts; he was found to carry the same mutation the patient carried. One of the patient’s grandsons, a 10Y male, was also found to carry the same mutation as the patient but was asymptomatic. Genealogical inquiry also revealed that the patient was distantly related to a known VHL family; one member, a 47Y male, was previously operated on for CNS hemangioblastoma, RCC and symptomatic pheochromocytoma and was found to carry the same mutation as the proband. Another female member had previously presented with retinal hemangioblastoma before becoming deceased at 37Y. The paper also asserted that the patient’s grandmother and two distant relatives carried the mutation, although genotyping was not performed and phenotypic information was not provided.

      CaseHPOFreeText: The patient was originally diagnosed with metastatic bilateral clear cell renal cell carcinoma at 68Y and underwent chemotherapy for three months. The metastases were later reinterpreted to be a cystic hemangioblastoma and a benign serous cystadenoma. The patient was also found to have a non-secreting adrenal pheochromocytoma at 73Y and a clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasis in the thyroid at 74Y. The patient had also previously presented with retinal lesions, although detailed records were unavailable.

    1. Case 1. A 29-year-old male patient was referred to the retina department. About 1 month previously, percutaneous radiofrequency ablation treatment was performed on the patient due to RCC in his left kidney (Figure 1). Central nervous system involvement was not detected in the patient.Open in a separate windowFigure 1Abdominal computerized tomography image of case 1. Renal cell carcinoma in the left kidney (preoperatively).On ophthalmological examination, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was counting fingers from 2 meters in the right eye and 1.0 in the left eye on the Snellen acuity visual chart. Vitritis was detected in the right eye on slit-lamp biomicroscopy. The fundus examination revealed an extensive lipid exudation on the fovea and macula, and a 3-4 optic disc diameter-sized RH at the equator in the right eye; it was normal in the lefteye. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) showed that the RH in the right eye was responsible for fluorescein staining on the feeding artery and drainage vein and fluorescein leakage. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed that there was a foveal detachment in the right eye (Figure 2).Open in a separate windowFigure 2Optical coherence tomography and fundus fluorescein angiography images of Case 1.The patient’s blood sample was collected in vacutainers containing EDTA as anticoagulant. After DNA extraction (EZ1 Advanced Instruments; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), mutation analysis of the VHL gene ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NG_008212.3","term_id":"319803102","term_text":"NG_008212.3"}}NG_008212.3, {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_000551","term_id":"1779521775","term_text":"NM_000551"}}NM_000551) was performed using Sanger sequencing with the ABI PRISM™ 3130 Avant system (Applied Biosystems, Grand Island, NY, USA). The entire coding region and the exon/intron boundaries of the VHL gene (transcript ENST00000256474) were sequenced. The amplicon panel primers and conditions used were established in the laboratory.A heterozygous missense mutation c.202T>C, (p.Ser 68Pro) in exon 1 of the VHL gene was found in the pa-tient’s DNA sample (Figure 3). This mutation is reported in the HGMD-PUBLIC (CM073416) (http://www.hgmd.org).Open in a separate windowFigure 3A heterozygous missense mutation c.202T>C, (p.Ser68Pro) in exon 1 of the VHL gene.The pathogenicity of the variation was tested in the Polyphen database and it was scored as probably damaging [probably damaging with a score of 0.960 (sensitivity: 0.78; specificity: 0.95)]. However, this variation was not listed the in the Exac database.
