      FamilyInfo: Family suggesting incomplete penetrance of a VHL gene germline mutation. Mutation (p.R64P) was found in a family with 6 patients total with three generations. The earliest patient described (I-1) presented with renal cell carcinoma (age at diagnosis 48 years), 1 of their 6 children (II-1) at age 59 had no typical VHL manifestations after annual clinical monitoring and suggest non-penetrance in the patient; the second of 6 children (II-3), then aged 51, had bilateral pheochromocytoma diagnosed age 14. Their only child (III-5) had a paraganglioma with an age of diagnosis of 29 years, and a renal cyst. Patient II-1 had 4 children - one (III-1; aged 40) who presented as a carrier with no typical VHL manifestations after annual clinical monitoring; and another 32 years old presenting with pheochromocytoma.

      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. 3 families have mutation R167Q(c.500G>A) in the VHL gene. Family 15 has 5 affected members: 4 members had retinal capillary hemangioma, 3 members had CNS hemangioblastoma, 2 members had renal cell carcinoma, 3 members had renal cysts, 1 member had pheochromocytoma, 1 member had pancreatic cysts, 2 members had endolymphatic sac tumor and 1 member had adnexal pipillary tumor of probable mesopnephric origin. Family 16 has 4 affected members: 2 members had retinal capillary hemangioma, 2 members had CNS hemangioblastoma, 1 member had renal cell carcinoma, 4 members had pheochromocytoma and 1 member had endolymphatic sac tumor. Family 17 has 2 affected members: 1 member had retinal capillary hemangioma, 1 member had CNS hemangioblastoma and 1 member had renal cell carcinoma. ACMG: 'PP4' because the patient's phenotype and family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

      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 13 has two affected members. Genetic analysis reveals mutation L158P(c.473T>C) in the VHL gene. Both members of the family presented with pheochromocytoma.

    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. Four patients from 3 families (95, P1, P30) were found to harbour the 499C>T (Argl67Trp) VHL gene mutation, documented in the paper as 712C>T due to an older transcript used. Patient P30/1 presented with both pheochromocytoma and a cerebellar hemangioblastoma. Patient P1/1 presented with pheochromocytoma and a cerebellar hemangioblastoma, and their family member, patient P1/2 presented with two cerebellar hemangioblastomas. Patient 95/1 presented with pheochromocytoma. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP1' since we have cosegregation with the disease in multiple affected family members (family P1), 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1.  c.500G>A

      Data was collected from 82 VHL mutation carriers in the Dutch VHL surveillance program. Eleven patients were found with the missense variant, c.500G>A, in the VHL gene. The ages of the patient was represented as a range, 21-65Y. The phenotypes were presented together: retinal hemangioblastoma, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, spinal cord hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour, pheochromocytoma, renal cysts, and pancreatic cysts. Family history was not described. The group was classified as a 2a/b meaning that it included de novo VHL mutation carriers or VHL mutation carriers having a family history with diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and other VHL related manifestations.

    2. c.499 C>Tap.R167W

      53 patients with a molecularly confirmed VHL mutation (by PCR through EDTA-anticoagulated blood) and a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (ICT) were collected from the German NET-Registry and the German VHL-registry. An additional 296 patients were stated in this paper with a VHL associated germline mutation, but without pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. 22 patients were found to have the above mutation (c.499C>T). 7 were VHL patients with ICTs (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors) taken from the VHL-registry. The other 15 patients were stated to be in this study with the given mutation, however no ICT. Other clinical manifestations outside of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor are possible, but were not discussed. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in a gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.

    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 P154= (c.462A>C) mutation was found in two VHL type 2A (with pheochromocytoma) family members (patient/proband no. V78). Two unaffected family members did not harbor this synonymous mutation.

    2. Screening of 92 unrelated patients with VHL disease revealed 61 DNA variants. Blood samples were isolated and sequenced by direct sequencing using prism-ready reaction dye primer cycle sequencing kits (Applied Biosystem Roissy CDG France) and an ABI 373A automated sequencer (AppliedBiosystem Roissy CDG France). No variants were found in 96 control cases. This missense mutation, c.245G>C, was found in 3 VHL type 2B family members (kindred no. V12), but not in 7 unaffected family members. Type 2B VHL families are described as having pheochromocytoma and presence of renal and pancreatic manifestations.

    1. VHL Variants

      This report studied the prevalence of germline variants in Japanese PPGL patients. Of the 370 PPGL original Japanese probands, this cohort consisted of 15 patients with pheochromocytoma and/or paragangliomas with germline VHL varaints. Blood samples were used to examine 7 genes: MAX, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127, VHL, and RET, using Sanger sequencing. Of these 15 VHL patients: 10 had bilateral PCC, 4 had PCC with abdominal/thoracic PGL, and one had metastatic PPGL. The variant V84M (c.250G>A) was one of the 15 found in a patient with PPGL. Their family history or further manifestations were not detailed.

    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 familial mutation was found in family #34 with 5 affected members and the mutation genetically confirmed in 2 patients. A male proband was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 40Y, retinal angioma at 40Y, renal cell carcinoma at 40Y, multiple pancreatic lesions at 40Y, and pheochromocytoma at 40Y. His first sister was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 51Y and retinal angioma at 51Y. His mother, who was not genetically confirmed with the mutation, was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 50Y and multiple pancreatic lesions at 63Y. His second sister, who was not genetically confirmed with the mutation, was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 40Y, renal cell carcinoma at 43Y, and multiple pancreatic lesions at 43Y. His brother, who was not genetically confirmed with the mutation, was diagnosed with CNS hemangioblastoma at 27Y and retinal angioma at 27Y. This cohort was also published in a paper by Wang et al., 2018 (PMID: 24581539) and Wang et al., 2014 (PMID: 29330336). It is likely that all three papers published the same family.

      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 (D121fs (c.361delG)) was taken from the Cambridge, Department of Pathology database, with an unknown number of members belonging to Family ID 147CA. It was reported in the paper as c.574delG due to a difference in transcript reference. Table 5 lists all ID and mutations associated with individuals without detailed clinical information.

    1. Single-nucleotide deletion at nucleotide 739, protein truncating mutation

      Of 14 patients with retinal vascular proliferation and known family history of VHL disease, 12 patients were enrolled in an approved study protocol at the National Cancer Institute. 11 of these patients underwent genetic testing and were found to have mutations in the VHL gene. Patient 7, age 34, was diagnosed with retinal vascular proliferation, pancreatic and renal abnormalities. She was not found to have any morphological central nervous system abnormalities. Genetic testing revealed that she harboured the c.526delA mutation in the VHL gene (stated as c.739delA in the paper which used the Latif sequence as reference). ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

      FamilyInfo: The patient’s great-grandmother and two great-uncles had died with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, although genetic testing was not performed. The patient’s grandfather presented with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, retinal hemangioblastoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma, and serous cystadenoma at 68Y, adrenal pheochromocytoma at 73Y, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasis in the thyroid at 74Y; he was found to carry the same mutation the patient carried. The patient’s father, a 46Y male, also presented with a small renal tumour, renal cysts, and pancreatic cysts. 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.

      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.R161* (c.481C>T) mutation, 15 members total from 10 families were described, and phenotypic information was given for this group. With ages of onset ranging from 14-47Y, hemangioblastomas were observed in 12/15 members, retinal capillary hemangioma in 1, renal cell carcinoma in 10, pancreatic cysts in 9, pheochromocytoma in 1 member and and a papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis genital system tumor (epididymis or broad ligament) in 2 members.

    1. 477-478insCA Frameshift Germline mutation

      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 50 was found with a germline frameshift mutation in the VHL gene. ACMG PP4

      VHL germline mutation carriers who had an ophthalmologic examination at the Erasmus Medical Centre or the Rotterdam Eye Hospital between 1984 and 2017, and were diagnosed with retinal hemangioblastoma (RH) were included in this study. A diagnosis of RH was based on the clinical appearance of a vasoproliferative retinal tumour. Peripheral blood samples from every member that had clinically suspected VHL disease of each family were collected for VHL mutation analysis. A total of 21 patients from 10 families were included on the basis of both a VHL germline mutation and ocular manifestations. Copy number analyses were carried out by multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Mutations were described as one of the following two groups: truncating (complete deletion, partial deletion, nonsense mutation, splice site mutation, duplication and insertion) or missense. Ocular manifestations were not reported on an individual level, but rather were broken down based on the two groups. From Pedigree (family) 13, one individual was suspected of VHL disease and mutational analysis revealed a L89P(c.266T>C) missense variant. This individual did not develop RH.

      Case report of a female VHL patient presenting with spinal hemangioblastoma at the age of 32Y. This was originally misdiagnosed as nerve sheath tumour in the cauda equina. Further workup showed the presence of pancreatic cysts and a history of spinal hemangioblastoma in the mother. Genetic testing confirmed the presence of the p.E94*(c.280G>T) mutation in the proband. There was no mention of genetic testing performed on her mother in this paper. Not explicitly said to be germline, however family history gives presumption, and: “the final diagnosis of VHL is based on the VHL gene mutation analysis and the demonstration of clinical manifestation. ACMG evidence codes: 'PVS1' because they observe a nonsense variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes or family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

    1. 5F-25HereditaryVHL (Y156C)Para-aortic (left)Cervical

      51 patients with with local-regional recurrence of sporadic or syndromic extra-adrenal paraganglioma were thoroughly analyzed for clinical characteristics, biochemical and imaging results, operative notes, molecular analysis, and pathology reports. 1 patient was found to have the above VHL mutation (c.467A>G). Clinical manifestations included a left para-aortic paraganglioma, and cervical paraganglioma. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP2' because they observe a missense variant in gene where missense variants are common mechanism of disease.

    1. Peripheral blood from unrelated patients with pheochromocytoma was tested for mutations of proto-oncogene RET, tumor suppressor gene VHL, succinate dehydrogenase subunit D (SDHD) gene, and the succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) gene. Of 271 patients with nonsydromic pheochromocytoma and no family history of the disease, 30 mutations were found in VHL. Multiple pheochromocytomas were statistically more frequent among patients with mutations than among patients without mutations (21 of 66 vs. 5 of 205, P<0.001). The mutation Y156C (c.467A>G) was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by c.680A>G due to a difference in transcript sequence. This missense mutation was found in the VHL gene and two patients with pheochromocytoma. Any relation is unstated.

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

      GenotypingMethod: PCR of all exons of VHL, SDHB, and SDHD genes was performed; Denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) analysis too.

      SamplingMethod: blood leukocytes (from stored blood samples)

    1. In a study of 114 unrelated VHL families, 85 germline mutations were found. VHL mutations were detected in affected family members, but not in unaffected family members or 96 normal individuals. The p.P158L (c.473T>C) mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by c.686T>C due to a difference in transcript sequence. This missense mutation was found in a VHL type 2B family of 51 individuals (family ID 4485). 25 individuals were identified with retinal hemangioblastomas, 32 with cerebellar hemangioblastomas, 29 with renal cell carcinoma, and only one with pheochromocytoma. Mutation also found in a VHL type 1 family of 25 individuals (family ID 4408). Two of 25 individuals carried renal cell carcinoma, 14 carried angiomas, and 16 carried cerebellar hemangioblastomas. ACMG codes as follows: Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change (PS1). Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease (PP1).

    1. c.482G>A (de novo)

      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.482G>A, was found in two patients; patient 23 presented with pheochromocytoma (onset age 18) while the patient 18 had pheochromocytoma and thoracic-abdominal paraganglioma (onset age 9). The latter patient is said to have been previously reported, although it is not specified where.

    1. Expression study of the new VHL isoforms in patients' cellsRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of patients' LCLs and tumors demonstrated that genomic variants in E1′ were associated with an upregulation of transcripts containing the E1′ cryptic exon compared with controls (Figure 3A; supplemental Figure 8). In addition, the mutated allele was preferentially expressed (>70%), suggesting a causal relationship between the genetic variants and E1′ retention (supplemental Figure 8C).Figure 3.

The study therefore focused on the isoform E1-E1′. Transcripts that retained E1′ spliced with E1 contained (in-frame with E1) a premature termination codon (Figure 1C) and could likely be targeted for degradation according to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) mechanisms. We therefore investigated the expression of transcripts that contained E1 spliced with E1′ in the absence or presence of puromycin, an inhibitor of NMD. Without puromycin, higher levels of expression were seen in samples with mutated E1′ (Figure 3C) compared with samples containing WT E1′. Exposure to puromycin resulted in a profound induction of isoforms containing E1 spliced with E1′ vs other isoforms (Figure 3C; supplemental Figure 9). These results indicated that isoforms with E1-E1′ junction were degraded by NMD and may have failed to produce proteins. We performed RT-PCR on LCL samples of F6 carrying the mutation in the SA site, using primers in VHL exons E1 and E3. We observed fragments of larger size in samples from patients carrying the mutation, which were highly visible in the presence of puromycin (Figure 3D). Cloning and sequencing of these fragments demonstrated a dysregulated splicing of E1′ with the use of an alternative SA site located 15 nucleotides downstream (supplemental Figure 10).To measure the impact of the splicing dysregulation on pVHL expression, we performed an immunoblot with an antibody able to recognize the amino acids encoded by E1 and therefore able to detect the different pVHL isoforms.8 The antibody detected overexpressed exogenous X1 protein after transfection of the plasmid encoding X1 (Figure 4A). However, it failed to detect the endogenous protein, even in patients' samples that overexpressed the mRNA containing E1-E1′. Instead, the immunoblots showed a lower expression of all the VHL protein isoforms in patients with mutated E1′ (Figures 4A-B).Figure 4. Functional studies of mutations in VHL E1′. (A-B) Immunoblot analysis of patient LCLs. A representative immunoblot (A) and quantification of 3 different immunoblots (B) are presented. Relative gene expression was normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) expression, and results obtained with LCL control (C1) were fixed at 100%. Data are represented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. A VHL antibody that recognized VHL E1 was able to detect the hypothetical X1 protein. In the most left lane, control LCLs were transfected with an expression vector containing the coding sequence for X1; 5 µg of proteins were blotted vs 45 µg for other samples to avoid signal saturation with overexpressed X1.

The ability of WT and mutated X1 to downregulate firefly luciferase activity (related to HIF activity) was compared with pVHL and in competition with pVHL. An immunoblot using an antibody specific to the hemagglutinin tag (HA) was used to detect HA-VHL and HA-X1.

These functional tests failed to reveal any substantial effects of X1 on this pathway, either alone or in competition with pVHL (Figure 4C; supplemental Figure 11). We next focused our study on a potential impact of the E1′ variants on splicing by performing splicing reporter minigene assays in various cell lines. The experiments showed that splicing of WT E1′ was barely detected (Figure 4D). Interestingly, higher molecular weight bands corresponding to the expected spliced isoforms containing E1′ appeared in the presence of the mutations. Cloning and sequencing of the isoforms confirmed a retention of E1′ at the expected splicing sites. The level of expression of this upper isoform, specific to E1′ inclusion, was higher for mutations associated with cancers than for those with erythrocytosis, independently of the cell lines. Notably, the combination of both variants associated with cancer had a more pronounced effect than each variant individually (the single-nucleotide polymorphism showing very low effect), suggesting a synergistic effect of the variants on splicing (supplemental Figure 12). In silico analysis of c.340+617C>G consistently predicted a severe alteration of splicing by the creation of an exonic splicing enhancer site (supplemental Figure 13).The minigene experiment performed with mutated E1′ at the SA site (F6) confirmed the inclusion of E1′ during splicing (Figure 4D, right panel), using the same downstream alternative SA site identified in mRNA extracted from patients' LCLs (supplemental Figure 10).Synonymous mutations in VHL E2 induce exon skippingWe then focused our study on the synonymous heterozygous D143D mutation in E2, identified in the proband of F1. This mutation was also identified in the homozygous state in 2 patients with erythrocytosis (F9 and F10; Figure 5A; Table 1). The mRNA extracted from LCLs established from the different members of these 2 families was reverse transcribed and sequenced. Comparison of chromatograms obtained by sequencing of DNA vs cDNA displayed a weaker peak of the mutated allele in cDNA, reflecting a decreased expression of the mRNA transcripts carrying the mutation.Download : Download high-res image (221KB)Download : Download full-size imageFigure 5.

CNS, central nervous system.A different synonymous mutation in E2, c.414A>G p.Pro138Pro (P138P), was identified in 2 families (F11 and F12) with VHL disease (Figure 5B). This heterozygous mutation segregated with the disease in 3 generations. Sequencing of DNA extracted from the pheochromocytoma of F11-III.1 showed a loss of the WT allele in the tumor, demonstrating loss of heterozygosity as currently described in classical VHL disease.Suspecting an effect of the synonymous mutations on splicing, we next assessed the expression of the VHL transcripts in patients' samples by RT-PCR (Figure 5C). We found a significant change in the ratio of expressed VHL isoforms, with a higher expression of the E1-E3 transcripts in LCLs of patients homozygous for D143D and in the pheochromocytoma with P138P mutation. These results suggest an effect of the mutation on splicing regulatory elements, leading to E2 skipping. In silico analysis of the synonymous mutations indicated a potential effect on exonic splicing enhancer motifs (supplemental Figure 14).To specifically quantify the different VHL isoforms, we performed quantitative RT-PCR on LCLs using TaqMan probes complementary to the VHL E1-E2 or E1-E3 junction (Figure 5D). All mutated samples displayed an increase of the isoform with skipped E2 (E1-E3). The patients carrying a homozygous D143D mutation presented a severe decrease of the WT isoform expression level. These results demonstrated that synonymous mutations in E2 affected mRNA isoform production.To evaluate a potential impact on protein expression, we performed a western blot analysis. We did not observe any overexpression of the pVHL172 isoform as expected from mRNA quantification studies. However, in patients homozygous for D143D, we detected a strong downregulation of all the pVHL isoforms, which was also observed to a lesser extent in LCL samples from heterozygous patients (Figure 5E).Proportion of VHL E2 skipping is correlated with disease severity in minigene experimentsTo study the impact of the synonymous E2 mutations on splicing in different cell lines, we performed minigene assays. We tested the implications of the D143D and P138P mutations on splicing in addition to the nearby mutations described in patients with erythrocytosis (P138L and G144R).4,6,29 Indeed, these mutations may also affect splicing rather than VHL protein function. We first evaluated the loss of function of these mutants by reporter assays. We found that these could downregulate HIF in a manner similar to the WT protein, in contrast to VHL proteins lacking E2 (pVHLΔE2), which are described as nonfunctional in terms of their regulation of HIF activity8, 9, 1012 (Figure 6A). Minigene experiments were performed in a variety of cell lines relevant to the studied diseases, using LCLs as control (Figure 6B). We demonstrated that all mutations caused E2 skipping in LCLs. In other cell lines, these experiments demonstrated a major impact on the VHL E2 splicing of the P138P mutation, which is associated with cancer. The mutations P138L, D143D, and G144R, which are all associated with erythrocytosis, displayed a weaker effect on splicing, with slight variations among cell lines but with a stronger effect in the erythroid cell line (UT7 cultured with erythropoietin).Figure 6.

Additional transcriptome analyses of the pheochromocytoma carrying P138P showed an upregulation of HIF target genes (typically seen in VHL-related pheochromocytomas) compared with the pheochromocytoma carrying a RET mutation (supplemental Figure 15B).30 We then reanalyzed our independent cohort of pheochromocytomas30 using RNA-seq data from both tumors. After unsupervised classification, we observed a segregation of the P138P pheochromocytoma with other VHL-related tumors (C1B cluster), whereas the control pheochromocytoma bearing the RET mutation was grouped with other RET-related tumors (Figure 6D).
    2. c.340+617C>G + c.340+648T>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. 6/10 genetically tested family members (family F8) across two generations were found to harbor the c.340+648T>C and c.340+617C>G germline mutations of the VHL gene. Patient I.2 presented with retinal capillary hemangioma, pheochromocytoma (pheo) and renal cell carcinoma. Patient I.3 presented with CNS hemangioblastoma and pheo. Patient II.1 presented with pheo. Patients II.2, II.6 and II.7 presented with retinal capillary hemangioma. 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.

    1. Sequence analysis of the VHL gene in DNA from individual IV:2 (GenBank accession #AF010238) was performed using the DYEnamic ET Terminator and Cycle Sequencing kit (GE Healthcare [formally Amersham], Baled’Urfe, Canada) to examine the entire coding and regulatory regions of the gene, including all flanking intronic regions extending a minimum of 50 base pairs from the exon-intron boundaries. Sequencing was performed bi-directionally for all regions. The possibility of genomic rearrangements was examined by Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA digested with the restriction enzyme Eco R1 and hybridized using a PCR-generated probe. Gene copy number was examined by dose-sensitive PCR analysis. Standard methods were used for DNA isolation from tumor blocks.[19] These methods do not affect the integrity of the DNA isolated.Following identification of the P25L mutation in the index case, a mutation-specific assay was established based on the fact that the mutation eliminated a recognition site for the restriction enzyme Eco 571, in exon 1 of the VHL gene. This assay was used to determine the mutation status for remaining members of the family.

    1. IVS1+5 (G>C)

      This study examined 182 patients with non-syndromic pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma for the presence of VHL mutations. VHL mutations were found in 3 of the 182 patients. An IVS1 + 5 (G>C) splice site mutation of the VHL gene was found in 1 male patient with pheochromocytoma. First diagnosed with a left adrenal pheochromocytoma resected at age 51. He was later referred to the NIH where at age 72 surgical debulking was carried out revealing diffuse peritoneal metastases. Opthalmological examinations and imaging studies for lesions in the central nervous system, kidneys and organ systems failed to reveal any evidence of VHL syndrome.

    2. The second patient (case 2) presented with bilateral adrenal pheochromocytomas, the first involving her left adrenal removed at age 23 and the second in her right adrenal removed at age 27. Recurrent disease was indicated 4 years later at age 31 with the onset of renewed signs and symptoms and consistently positive biochemical test results. The patient was referred to the NIH at age 33 at which time diffuse peritoneal metastases were revealed that were too extensive for surgical intervention.

    1. 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.463+2T>C splice site mutation (listed in the paper as c.676+2T>C due to an older reference sequence being used) was found in two patients, patient 28 and 41. Clinical manifestations include renal cell carcinoma; other manifestations are possible, but were not discussed in the paper.

    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%.

      VariantEvidence: The modified amino acids are located in a domain common to all pVHL isoforms, the highly conserved cctbinding domain of the protein, involved in the formation of the pVHL elongin complex that is crucial for tumor suppression. Furthermore, the mutant protein is prematurely truncated and lacks the C-terminal half of exon 2 and exon 3 completely, which includes the nuclear export signal and the elongin C binding site of pVHL. Thus, this truncated protein would affect the two functional isoforms of pVHL: the major isoform pVHL30 and pVHL19, but not isoform 2, which lacks exon 2 but is not functional

      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 individual presented with a c.481C>T nonsense mutation, causing p.R161*. This patient presented at 32Y with 3 cerebellar hemangioblastomas, pancreatic cysts, and kidney cysts. They were previously published in PMID: 20064270. ACMG Evidence Code: 'PM4', as there is loss of function mutation in a gene that is known to cause this disease from loss of function.

    1. In a family with VHL, we identified a novel missense mutation (N78D), which affects a fully conserved residue in the VHL protein. Interestingly, several other missense mutations reported at same codon in the VHL protein that might be associated with a low risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) but not pheochromocytoma appear to be associated with a VHL type 1 phenotype. At the moment, RCC is present in none of the affected mutation carriers in the family described here. In contrast to other missense changes at codon 78, the change in our VHL family is predicted to have a mild effect on VHL function, which apparently is insufficient to cause predisposition to RCC.

    1. A study investigated paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma tumors in a retrospective cohort and a prospective cohort. Tumour tissue samples were sequenced by next-generation sequencing using a custom gene panel. In some cases, Sanger sequencing was used to detect germline mutations. Some of these tumors were found with germline VHL mutations. Tumour ID 68 (prospective study) was a paraganglioma of the thoracic-abdominal-pelvic (TAP) area and had a germline c.241C>T mutation in the VHL gene. The paper performed carbonic anhydrase IX immunohistochemistry and immunostaining with CA9 was observed in this patient. Other phenotypic and demographic information was not available.

      150 index patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma were evaluated. Phenotypic data were collected and germline mutations in five susceptibility genes (RET, VHL, SDHB, SDHD and SDHC) were tested. Out of 30 patients with familial presentation, 13 were clinically diagnosed as VHL syndrome. Using PCR and Sanger sequencing through peripheral blood, genetic testing confirmed a non-familial missense mutation at c.500G>A of the VHL gene in two unrelated probands. The first was a 13 year old Asian Indian female who presented with bilateral pheochromocytoma. Family history is unknown. The second was an 11 year old Asian Indian female who presented with bilateral pheochromocytoma and sympathetic paraganglioma. Family history is unknown.

      Germline mutations were found in 20 Brazilian, VHL probands and their families. Peripheral blood samples were taken and genomic DNA was sequenced using PCR and Southern Blotting. The three exons of the VHL gene were amplified by PCR, sequenced in both strands with Big Dye terminators (Applied Biosystems), and collected and analysed on an ABI Prism 377 (Applied Biosystems). Germline rearrangements involving part or the entire VHL gene were detected by quantitative Southern blotting using g7 cDNA11 and a β globin probe. This synonymous mutation, P61=(183C>G), was found in a two VHL type 1 families (family 9 and 17). Family 9 had three affected individuals; one with hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, one with retinal angiomas, and one with renal carcinoma. Family 9 also had another VHL mutation in exon 2, H115Pfs*44 (c.344delA). Family 17 contained 10 affected individuals. All 10 family members had a central nervous system hemangioblastoma. One also had a retinal angioma and five others had renal carcinoma. One patient per family with renal tumour <3 cm under follow up detected by imaging. Additionally, family 17 had a partial deletion in the VHL gene that was not specified by the paper. The silent mutation in both these families was described as a polymorphism. This silent mutation was reported to have an allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder at 1.16% with at least 120 alleles evaluated (ACMG code: BS1).

    1. The 24 year-old woman was diagnosed at age 20 with VHL. She had bilateral retinal angiomas that were treated by laser coagulation in 2003. The left eye was treated by laser coagulation several times and subsequently by vitrectomy. Molecular genetic investigation of a blood sample showed a large deletion of exon 3 of the VHL gene. The family history was negative.The patient was admitted for a complete clinical investigation to the Freiburg Preventive Medicine Center. MRI of the CNS revealed multiple hemangioblastomas of the spinal cord but no intracerebral hemangioblastomas. MRI of the abdomen showed multiple cysts in the pancreatic head with a maximum diameter of 4 cm and pancreatic duct ectasia. In addition, a lesion was detected in the pancreatic tail that measured 2.3 × 1.6 cm in the axial view (Fig. 1a). There was moderate contrast enhancement of the tumor. The kidneys and paraganglia were without pathological changes. Two years later, the tumor had grown to 1.9 × 2.9 cm.

    1. Lung adenocarcinoma has never before been reported to be associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Here, we report a case of VHL disease in a patient who had metachronous multiple lung adenocarcinomas. The patient is a 64-year-old-woman with VHL disease. She underwent surgical resection of one adenocarcinoma and one atypical adenomatous hyperplasia. A second lung adenocarcinoma developed metachronously. A point mutation in the VHL gene was confirmed in DNA from a blood sample, and loss of heterozygosity at the VHL locus was detected in the lung adenocarcinoma. The VHL dysfunction may have a role in the development of multiple lung adenocarcinomas.

      ArticleReferenceSequence: Not specified- Assumption: Nucleotide change is not specified in the paper, only protein coding change is. cDNA variant was inferred based on protein coding change, and reported based on VHL reference sequence NM_000551.3

    1. Fig. 1Family tree offamily E with von Hippel–Lindau disease (missense mutation: V170D).

      20 patients from 6 families in the Netherlands were analyzed for opthalmological manifestations of VHL disease. Different mutations were found in all 6 families (missense mutations in A-E and a deletion in family F), confirming the diagnosis of VHL disease in these families. Genotyping information for only 2 families was reported in this paper. Family E was found to have the p.V170D (c.509T>A) mutation. Note: the cDNA change was not explicitly reported in this paper and was extrapolated from the reported protein coding change. In family E, 12 individuals were diagnosed with VHL disease, and 3 individuals passed away before this family was screened. However, it is not specified in this paper which family members were genotyped and found to have this mutation, and no information on genotyping methodology is available. A detailed description of VHL disease manifestations in each affected family member can be found in this paper (pages 557-558.) Overall, family E suffered from VHL clinical type 2B. Briefly, Patient I-1 died of renal cell carcinoma at age 55Y. Patients II-2 and II-4 died of obstructive hydrocephalus caused by a cerebellar haemangioblastoma at the ages of 33 and 39 years respectively. The proband (patient II-7), presented with obstructive hydrocephalus caused by a cerebellar hemangioblastoma, a secondary optic atrophy, no retinal angiomas at age 55. He also has pancreatic and adrenal cysts. His elder brother (patient II-3) has a small angioma on one optic disc, bilateral renal carcinomas, and cysts in cerebellum, adrenals and pancreas. His elder sister (patient II-5) has pale optic discs, an intra-medullary hemangioblastoma, unilateral renal carcinoma, bilateral phaeochromocytomas and a unilateral mamma carcinoma. Patient III-4, has a small parapapillary angioma and an ora serrata angioma with a dilated feeder artery and draining vein present in one eye. He also has cerebellar haemangioblastomas, bilateral phaeochromocytomas, renal carcinomas, pancreatic cysts, liver cysts and medullary haemangioblastomas. Patient III-6 has pale optic discs and suffers from a small cerebellar haemangioblastoma. Patient III-7 had bilateral phaeochromocytomas. Patient III-8 developed a very small angiomain one eye at the age of 28 years. She also has bilateral renal carcinomas. Patient III-10 has retinal angiomas in both eyes and also suffers from bilateral renal carcinomas and medullary haemangioblastomas. Patient III-11 suffers from a uni-lateral renal carcinoma. Patient III-12 has optic atrophy secondary to obstructive hydrocephalus because of a cerebellar haemangioblastoma and a macular retinal angioma that detached from the retina but is still attached to the optic disc. At age 27 new angiomas started to develop in both retinas including a recurrent angioma in the left macula with exudation in the posterior pole .She also suffered from a haemangioblastoma of the medulla oblongata and bilateral renal carcinomas. Patient III-13 developed retinal angiomas in one eye at the age of 32 years. Family member III-14 has pale optic discs with a normal neurological examination.

    1. Approval to conduct the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Saint-Joseph University-Lebanon. After an informed consent was signed and all ethical requirements were fulfilled, a 10 ml of peripheral blood was isolated from each individual enrolled and the DNA was extracted using the salting out methods [24]. All patients signed the informed consent and agreed to share their variant data.Whole exome sequencingExon capture and sequencing: Samples were prepared for whole Exome sequencing and enriched according to the manufacturer’s standard protocol. The concentration of each library was determined using Agilent’s QPCR NGS Library Quantification Kit (G4880A). Samples were pooled prior to sequencing with each sample at a final concentration of 10nM. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform using TruSeq v3 chemistry.Mapping and alignment: Reads files (FASTQ) were generated from the sequencing platform via the manufacturer’s proprietary software. Reads were aligned to the hg19/b37 reference genome using the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA) package v0.6.1 [25]. Local realignment of the mapped reads around potential insertion/deletion (Indel) sites was carried out with the Genome Analysis Tool Kit (GATK) v1.6 [26]. Duplicate reads were marked using Picard v1.62. Additional BAM file manipulations were performed with Samtools 0.1.18 [27]. Base quality (Phred scale) scores were recalibrated using GATK’s covariance recalibration. SNP and Indel variants called using the GATK Unified Genotyper for each sample [28]. SNP novelty is determined against dbSNP. A list of 134 genes known to be associated with hereditary BC and other cancers were studied (Additional file 1).

      FamilyInfo: This patients daughter developed bilateral phaeochromocytomas at 12 and underwent staged bilateral adrenalectomies at 14. At the age of 16, she was discovered to have a 2.5 cm tail of pancreas pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour. This enlarged during follow-up and additional smaller pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours in the pancreatic body became visible. Tumour was present at the resection margin with no evidence of lymph node metastases. A second 1 mm grade 1 pNET was also present and was completely excised. In 7 years of follow-up since the operation, new pNETs developed within the pancreatic head, body and tail and have continued to enlarge. During a period of follow-up, this daughter was found to have a small asymptomatic spinal haemangioblastoma. The patients brother and two nephews also have VHL. Her 3-year old male nephew was diagnosed with VHL and at the age of 11, was found to have an abdominal paraganglioma, and bilateral adrenal phaeochromocytomas at the age of 14. At the age of 12 they were also found to have a pNET. The patients 49 year old brother had renal cell carcinoma, hemangioblastoma, and pheochromocytoma. The other nephew was a male who at 26 had retinal angioma, and pheochromocytoma. Pedigree: See Figure 1.

    1. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations using SSCP analysis of PCR products by peripheral blood. This splice mutation was found in a German, VHL type 1 family with 1 patient. They were found with retinal angiomas, hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, renal cell carcinoma, and renal and pancreatic cysts (family VHL 45). The c.463+1G>C mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by 676+1G>C due to a difference in transcript sequence. This study contains very strong evidence of 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).

    2. Of 65 VHL families from central Europe, 53 were identified with germline mutations using SSCP analysis of PCR products by peripheral blood. This missense mutation was found in a German, VHL type 1 patient with retinal angiomas, hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system, renal cyst, and pancreatic cysts (family VHL 42). The C162W (c.486C>G) mutation was detected in the patient, referred to in the paper by c.699C>G T due to a difference in transcript sequence.

    1. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee at Le Kremlin-Bicêtre University Hospital (France) and was performed in 12 patients. Blood samples were collected after written consent was received from each patient and processed for DNA extraction using standard methods. VHL mutation analysis of the coding sequence and flanking intronic sequences was performed by direct sequencing (Primer details and conditions are available on request). Quantitative Southern blotting and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification studies were performed to detect large genomic rearrangements.

    1. 485G>A162C162Y

      A study of 34 Polish families revealed germline mutations in 30 families using DNA isolated from peripheral blood luykocytes to sequence through PCR and Quantitative Southern analysis. Mutations were not detected in 4 probands fulfilling clinical criteria for von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD). This missense mutation was found in a VHL family of 5 affected patients (family no. 16). Four had retinal hemangioblastomas and 4 had hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system. Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease (ACMG code: PP1).

    1. 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-V2 (proband; 43Y old male) presented with retinal hemangioblastoma and CNS hemangioblastoma. One additional family member was affected with VHL but no further details were provided. The variant was also not found in 100 healthy individuals. The proband was also reported in PMID 25078357.

    1. c.349T>G p.Trp117Gly

      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 7 involved five confirmed members with a c.349T>G change leading to a p.Trp117Gly protein change. The first member, the male proband, presented with hemangioblastoma at 36, pancreatic cysts at 40, renal cell carcinoma at 44, and retinal capillary hemangioma at 44. The proband had 2 sisters and 2 brothers with all of whom no DNA sample was available for confirmation of mutation; however these 4 presented with symptoms of VHL phenotypes. As for those tested with the mutation, his son presented with hemangioblastoma at 13. The father’s 3 nieces and nephews were the last three described: The first nephew presented with papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis at 37. The niece presented with retinal capillary hemangiomas at 13. The last nephew presented with retinal capillary hemangiomas at 11, and hemangioblastoma at 12. ACMG Evidence Code: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes and family histories are highly specific for VHL disease.

    1. T152I missense mutation

      A case report of two patients with novel point mutations in the VHL gene was described. PCR and MPLA via peripheral blood leukocytes was conducted. A 24-year-old female proband (patient #2) was found with a missense VHL germline mutation (c.455C>T) affected by a left carotid body paraganglioma. The patient's sister and 48Y mother were positive for the c.455C>T mutation but extensive physicals revealed no VHL lesions. ACMG: PP4

    1. Germline mutations in 45 unrelated Japanese VHL patients were determined from blood samples using PCR-SSCP or Southern blot analyses. The authors used the 284 codon ORF previously described by Latif et al., 1993 and this notation was converted to NP_000542. PCR-SSCP or Southern blot analyses of the DNA from family members showed that mutations were segregated with disease phenotype in VHL families, although this data was not shown. Data on the presence of retinal angioma, hemangioblastoma of the CNS, renal cell carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma was available. Case 37, had p.Pro81Ser mutation (stated as c.454C>T in the paper. One member was affected with hemangioblastoma. Other demographics of the members were not described.

    1. Patient 1A 42-year-old female was admitted to our hospital in May 2015 due to masses in her right kidney and left adrenal gland. The CT scan showed a mass of 2.5 × 2.1 cm and multiple cysts in her right kidney (Fig. 1A, upper image), and a mass of 6.1 × 3.9 cm in her left adrenal gland (Fig. 1A, middle image), while a MRI of her head showed a lesion in her right cerebellum (1.0 × 1.4 cm). In addition, two large masses (>6 cm) were found in her bilateral adrenal glands when she was 29 years old, for which she repeatedly underwent adrenal Pheo resection. At 38 years of age, she underwent pancreatic mass resection and pathological analysis of the mass showed a pancreatic NET. Considering her recurrent and multiple lesions, surgery was not considered suitable and therefore sunitinib was prescribed. A few months later, she experienced dizziness, headache and emesis. In February 2016, she underwent surgery for the mass in her right cerebellum (Fig. 1A, bottom image), and HB was confirmed pathologically. In addition, her eldest brother had RCCs in both kidneys, HBs in his bilateral cerebellums and Pheo in his left adrenal gland. Her second brother also had RCC, while her daughter had Pheos in her bilateral adrenal glands and HB in her left cerebellum. The patient’s father died from brain tumors. Although without pathological confirmation, he was most likely suffered HBs based on the family history. Therefore, we conducted gene sequencing of her DNA and a pathogenic VHL mutation (c.239G>T; p.Ser80Ile) (Fig. 2A) was confirmed.

      Genotype-phenotype correlations were analyzed in five unrelated Chinese families with a family history VHL. The proband (Patient 1) of family A was a 42-year-old female who presented with a kidney mass and multiple kidney cysts, a mass in left adrenal gland, a hemangioma in the cerebellum, and renal cell carcinoma. This patient also previously was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour at age 38 and presented with 2 large masses in her adrenal glands resulting in pheochromocytoma resection. The probands family history of VHL included a brother with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in both kidneys, hemangioma in the cerebellum, adrenal pheochromocytoma. A second brother had RCC. The probands daughter had adrenal pheochromocytoma and hemangioma in the cerebellum. The proband's father had died from brain tumours (no pathological confirmation was available, but it was likely hemangioblastomas due to family history). Genetic analysis of the proband was done using DNA isolated from peripheral blood and was screened for potential mutations in a panel of susceptibility genes for pheochromocytoma’s and/or RCC using Target Capture-Based Deep Sequencing. Identification of mutations were further screened by Sanger Sequencing. In the proband a mutation in VHL was confirmed (c.239G>T; p.Ser80Ile). AMCG evidence codes: ’PP4’ because the patients phenotype is highly specific for a mutation in the VHL gene.

    1. PPGLs diagnosis was confirmed by histological examination post tumor resection and localized with anatomical imaging or functional imaging; iodine123‐labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy (I‐MIBG), fluorodeoxyglucose Pet/CT (FDG), or Ga‐Dotatate Pet/CT. Clinical information gathered included age of diagnosis, sex, tumor location, size, bilaterality, multiplicity, biochemical profile and malignancy. Malignancy was defined as the presence of distant extra‐adrenal/extra‐paraganglia metastasis (Eisenhofer et al. 2004). Patients were stratified into two groups; (1) “Sporadic” patients with tumors that were incidentally found on imaging; (2) “Familial/Syndromic” (FS) patients with symptoms matching the criteria of known syndromes or had a positive family history.A further review on genetic testing outcomes was done on 27 patients from the study population who were seen at National Cancer Centre Singapore, Cancer Genetic Service (CGS). Genetic analysis used next‐generation whole exome sequencing technologies and known susceptible germline mutations (that included RET, VHL, NF1, SDHA, SDHB, SDHD, SDHAF2, and TMEM127) were investigated.

    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.

      This paper presented a clinical case of a familial bilateral pheochromocytoma as a sole feature of the VHL disease type 2C. This is the first family with this disorder described in Bulgaria. Genetic analysis by direct sequencing of venous blood revealed a c.499C>T(p.Arg167Trp) missense mutation in exon 3 of VHL-gene. II1 (born 1974) and II3 (born 1977) are brothers who developed bilateral pheochromocytoma, I1 (born 1952), mother of the brothers, and III1 (born 2003), daughter of II1, are identified as carrier of this mutation. The patient II1 first showed clinical expression at 12Y. ACMG: 'PP1' because brothers II1, II3 who are confirmed carriers of the mutation in the family were both affected by VHL disease; 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes and family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

    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 Korean patients who fulfilled clinical criteria for VHL disease. 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. Mutation (p.L163P) was detected using direct sequencing/MLPA methods in an 48Y old male patient referred to Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. Patient shows CNS hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma and was positive for 'other' phenotypes which included either pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, renal cysts, pancreatic cysts, or central nervous system tumors.

    1. Germline Genotype Analysis Genomic DNA from peripheral blood was extracted using a QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germany). Three coding exons and their flanking intronic regions were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using primers described previously (17). Missense and splicing mutations were detected by direct sequencing. A multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification kit (MLPA, P016-C2, MRC-Holland, Amsterdam) was used to detect the large exon deletions, which were confirmed by Real-time (RT) quantitative PCR with primers described by Ebenazer et al. (18). All patients were divided into two groups: the missense group and the partial deletion group.

    1. A 78-year-old woman had a history of hypertension from her forties. She suffered from headache and body weight loss. Abdominal CT revealed bilateral adrenal tumors and right external renal tumors enhanced in early stage. MIBG scintigraphy exhibited a high accumulation of tracer in both adrenal glands. On the basis of the radiographic findings and endocrinological results, the patient was diagnosed as having bilateral pheochromocytomas and right renal cell carcinoma. A bilateral adrenectomy was performed, followed by surgery for resection of the renal cell carcinoma. The other resected right kidney showed a clear cell subtype that was determined to be renal cell carcinoma, and proved that the pelvic tumor was transient cell carcinoma. Spinal MRI showed spinal hemangioblastoma.

    2. VHL gene (407 C/G)

      A 6 year-old girl was treated for symptomatic retinal capillary hemangioma. A histologic section of a surgical specimen (obtained by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for removal of juxtapapillary capillary retinal angioma with associated ERM) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. employing a monoclonal endothelial cell marker. Family history revealed VHL disease in father and grandfather. A clinical and molecular workup workshop revealed a VHL germline mutation c.194C>G (reported as c.407C>G in the paper due to a difference in transcript sequence) in the patient, her father and her sister. This missense mutation caused a Ser65Trp mutation in the VHL gene product. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed spinal hemangioblastoma and kidney cysts in father. ACMG: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes and family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.
