missense mutation L128P in the VHL gene
This study retrospectively reviewed the nephrectomy specimens for 20 patients, for whom histologic slides were available, from the authors respective institutes’ VHL clinics over a 15-year period (1996 to 2011). One patient (case 3) was found to have a history of VHL disease with a confirmed germline missense mutation (p.L128P (c.383T>C)) of the VHL gene. The 38 year old female proband presented with multiple bilateral renal tumors, and underwent multiple partial nephrectomies with tumor enucleations. Six of such tumors were identified and they ranged in size from 0.4-6.5 cm. Of these, 4 tumors were CCRCCs and 2 tumors showed were diagnosed as CCPRCCs confined to the kidney. Further, the tumors were classified as hemangioblastomas. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.
