Medical records of 26 patients with germline mutations of the VHL gene who had been diagnosed with VHL disease in Severance Hospital (Seoul, Republic of Korea) and Samsung Medical Center (Seoul, Republic of Korea) between 2003 and 2012 were respectively reviewed. Peripheral blood leukocytes were isolated and directly sequenced using the BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction kit on an ABI Prism 3130 genetic analyzer (Applied Biosystems). One patient presented with the c.173insC germline variant of the VHL gene. Patient 1, 17Y female previously reported in PMID 19270817, presented with CNS hemangioblastoma and a family history positive for VHL.
