    1. the Lys82Arg (exon 3) mutation was identified in the CALR3 gene. The proband (II:1) was aged 41 years at presentation and had severe exertional symptoms associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. He has improved symptomatically following transseptal alcohol ablation. His 3 children are currently clinically normal but have decline genetic testing

      Proband 2: male, Dx at 41 years, LV septal wall thickness = 22mm, improved following transseptal alcohol ablation, 3 unaffected children

    1. Two alleles of bab were identified during the 1996 Tuebingen screen, babtb210 and babtw220c, both displaying nearly identical phenotypes (Schilling et al.,1996)

      Model: Zebrafish

      Gene: RERE

      Gene alteration: The genetic change responsible for the babyface (bab) phenotype was identified. there are two bab alleles; babtb210 is caused by rerea Y361X, and babtw220c is caused by rerea Y394X

      Model phenotype: Both models both display nearly identical phenotypes (Schilling et al.,1996) including a small head and eyes, severely reduced pharyngeal arches and pectoral fins, and enlarged ear capsules (Fig. 1A,B).

    1. RESULTS Gene and mutation identification Analysis of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarray genotypes from six patients with PHID identified a single common 1.4 Mb region of shared homozygosity within cytogenetic band 10q22.1, between SNPs rs10509321 and rs1900515 (Fig. 1A). Inspection of the Ensembl and UCSC Genome Browsers demonstrated that the region included 14 known and predicted genes: ADAMTS14, C10orf27, CDH23, EIF4EBP2, LRRC2, KIAA1274, NODAL, NPFFR1, PCBD1, PPA1, PRF1, SLC29A3, SGPL1, UNC5B. Positional candidate genes were selected for sequencing in order to identify pathogenic mutations (Fig. 1B). Five different homozygous mutations were identified in the SLC29A3 gene encoding the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 3 (Fig. 1C, Table 1). Human ENT3 has been shown recently to be the cause of H syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder with overlapping skin features to PHID (6), indicating that these are allelic disorders. hENT3 belongs to a structurally unique protein family of nucleoside and/or nucleobase transporters (13,14). The five homozygous mutations identified segregated with the disease within each family and were not present in over 100 Lebanese and Pakistani control chromosomes.

The deletion causes a frame shift mutation p.Y314Tfs in transmembrane domain 7 and is predicted to result in the substitution of transmembrane domains 8–11 with an irrelevant protein sequence of 91 amino acids derived from an alternate reading frame. The nonsense mutation p.E444X is predicted to lead to premature protein truncation with loss of part of the final cytoplasmic domain and transmembrane domain 11 of hENT3. It would appear unlikely that the either residual protein would be capable of nucleoside transport function.Three homozygous missense mutations of SLC29A3 were identified to involve conserved amino acids (Table 1). The first missense mutation involves Methionine116 in transmembrane domain 2, which is a hydrophobic amino acid in species as distantly related as humans and nematodes, with a large basic amino acid, Arginine (p.M116R; Fig. 1C and E). The Grantham score for this substitution is 91, which is classified as a moderate change (15). Analysis using the SIFT prediction software also classifies this as a likely deleterious change (16). The introduction of a large basic amino acid into a transmembrane domain would likely result in significant disruption of the hydrophobic nature of the domain and result in retention of the transporter protein within the endoplasmic reticulum, as has been demonstrated for other membrane proteins (17).The second missense change is a recently reported Glycine to Arginine substitution at hENT3 amino acid 437 (p.G437R Fig. 1C), which is located in the putative cytoplasmic domain between transmembrane domains 10 and 11. This is the only mutation in the PHID cohort that is shared with the known mutations in H syndrome. Of particular interest is the observation that this is the sole individual in the PHID cohort who has not developed insulin-dependent DM. The p.G437R change involves the substitution of a large basic amino acid at a position where 41 members of the ENT family as distantly related as humans and Arabidopsis thaliana encode a small hydrophobic amino acid (Fig. 1E) (18). The Grantham difference for this change is 125 and is classified as a moderately radical change.The third missense change occurs at hENT3 amino acid residue 449, which is also located in the final putative intracellular domain between transmembrane domains 10 and 11, and involves the substitution of a Threonine by an Arginine (p.T449R). The amino acids encoded at this position in hENT3 orthologs are small polar/uncharged or small hydrophobic residues (Fig. 1E). Substitution by arginine is associated with a Grantham score of 71 and is predicted by SIFT as not to be tolerated.

    1. Patient TTD218UT is of Moroccan origin and was born to consanguineous parents. She was referred to the clinical geneticist at 1.5 years of age with brittle hair (low cysteine content and tiger-tail banding pattern), ichthyosis, microcephaly (−2.5 SD), psychomotor retardation, short stature (−2.5 SD) and microcytic anemia. She showed recurrent aggravation of hair-loss by tufted breakage at the scalp boundary immediately following episodes of infection-induced fever. Also upon long-term exposure to the heat of the sun, she appears to have increased hair-loss. At the age of 8 years, she shows no signs of progressive deterioration. She has a happy and friendly personality with an IQ of 54 (at 7 years of age). She has a limited physical endurance. Laboratory investigation revealed microcytic hypochromic anemia (Hb 6.5) without sequence anomalies nor deletions or duplications of the genes encoding for the alpha or beta globin chains (not shown). We performed whole genome sequencing on patient’s DNA, using the sequencing-by-ligation method from Complete Genomics (16,17). Surprisingly, we identified a homozygous variant in the GTF2E2/TFIIEβ gene, creating a missense mutation (c.C559T [p.Asp187Tyr]). This mutation is identical to one of the mutations in GTF2E2/TFIIEβ previously described by Kuschal et al. (14). Its homozygous presence was confirmed by Sanger sequencing of cDNA generated from patient’s cells and found to co-segregate with the phenotype within the family (Fig. 1A and B).

    1. deletion of exon 1

      A 39 year old man was confirmed to have a germline exon 1 deletion of the VHL gene at age 26. Details regarding genotyping methods are not specified. He presented with epistaxis at age 34 and CT scans showed an ethmoid mass later identified as a primary microcystic adenoma. He underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal resection of the legion and he was negative for metastatic disease. Analysis of tumour DNA showed it to be heterozygous for an intron 1 polymorphism (c.341-50G>A). He had a history of cerebellar haemangioblastoma and ccRCC.

    1. PCR amplification of tumor DNA was performed with 10 to 100 ng DNA in a final volume of 15 μL containing 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM KCl, 0.02 mM dATP, 0.2 mM dGTP, dTTP, and dCTP, 0.8 μCi α32P-dATP (Amersham, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom), 15 pmol of each forward and reverse primer (Table 2), and 3U Taq polymerase (Ampli Taq Gold, Perkin Elmer Europe). PCR was performed for 35 cycles of 95°C for 30 sec, 55°C for 45 sec, and 1 min at 72°C, followed by 1 cycle at 72°C for 10 min. PCR products were electrophoresed overnight at 8W on a nondenaturing gel, containing 8% polyacrylamide ([49:1] Fluka, Neu-Ulm, Germany) and 10% glycerol (v/v). After electrophoresis, the gel was dried and exposed to an X-ray film.

      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

      GenotypingMethod: PCR amplification using genomic DNA as template was carried out followed by single-strand polymorphism analysis. After PCR, the BigDye® Terminator V3.1 cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) was used to sequence samples.

      SamplingMethod: tissue resection

    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

      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. This splice mutation c.341-2A>C was found in a VHL patient with hemangioblastomas of the retina and central nervous system, renal cysts and RCC, and pancreatic cysts (family no. 32). They were described as being familial VHL however no other members were described. ACMG evidence codes: 'PSV1' because they observe a splice-site variant in a gene where loss-of-function is known mechanism of disease, 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes or family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

    2. Genomic DNA was purified from peripheral blood leukocytes using a QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The three exons of the VHL gene as well as their flanking introns were amplified using the following primers: 1F 5′-IndexTermCGCGAAGACTACGGAGGT-3′ and 1R 5′-IndexTermCTTCAGACCGTGCTATCGTC-3′; 2F 5′-IndexTermCTCCCAAAGTGCTGGGATTA-3′ and 2R 5′-IndexTermTGGGCTTAATTTTTCAAGTGG-3′; 3F 5′-IndexTermAGTTGTTGGCAAAGCCTCTT-3′ and 3R 5′-IndexTermAAGGAAGGAACCAGTCCTGT-3′. We confirmed mutations in both strands by direct sequencing with the primers that were also used in the PCR. PCR was carried out using a thermal cycler (Model 9700; Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) as follows: 35 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 30 s, annealing at 60 °C for 30 s, and extension at 72 °C for 1 min. The amplicon was purified using Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman Coulter Genomics, Danvers, MA, USA) and direct sequencing was performed using the BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction kit on an ABI Prism 3130 genetic analyzer (Applied Biosystems). All variants were confirmed based on the National Center for Biotechnology Information single-nucleotide polymorphism database and the Human Gene Mutation Database. The method for detection of VHL germline mutations, including that for multiple ligation-dependent probe amplification, used in Samsung Hospital was previously reported.11

    1. Case presentationFirst onsetA 19-years-old female was first found with occupation about 6.2 cm × 5.7 cm in the right adrenal five years ago based on CT scan at a regular physical examination, accompanied with fever and headache with high blood pressure. Tumor resection was performed, and pathological diagnosis was right pheochromocytoma. The patient was regularly subjected to follow-up.Secondary onsetDuring this hospitalization, CT scan found multiple tumor occupation in left adrenal and paraganglion region zones with round nodular shadows. Meanwhile, she had fever and headache with high blood pressure. Based on medical history and examination, she was diagnosed as left pheochromocytoma. Meanwhile, the occupying lesions in right lung and pancreas were found, located in extrabasal segment of inferior lobar and head respectively.Case characteristicsThe case characteristics were summarized: 1. A 12y female; 2. Tumor occupation was first found in right adrenal; 3. Tumor resection was performed and the pathological diagnosis was pheochromocytoma; 4. Multiple round nodular shadows were found in left adrenal and paraganglion region zones after five years; 6. The symptoms were fever and headache with high blood pressure; 7. The diagnosis was pheochromocytoma (PCC) and paraganglioma (PGL) (Combined PPGLs); 8. The occupying lesions located in right lung and pancreas were scanned and diagnosed with masses.Diagnostic methodThe patient was followed up regularly. Based on personal medical history, symptoms and imaging examinations, the patient was diagnosed as PPGLs combined with right lung and pancreas occupation.Multidisciplinary team discussion based on professional board indicated the following views: (1) The diagnosis was possibly considered as atypical VHL type II. Further qualitative diagnosis relied on genetic examination; (2) Other lesions like retina tumor should be examined. (3) PPGLs was surgically resected for pursuing pathological diagnosis. (4) The occupying lesions in right lung and pancreas were performed with puncture biopsy for further diagnosis. The diagnosis and treatment workflow were shown in Fig. 1.

    1. 3'

      Complete molecular analysis of the VHL gene on genomic DNA was conducted on 4 patients and some of their relatives. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were collected and the VHL gene dosage was evaluated by quantitative Southern blot or real-time quantitative PCR analysis. The coding region was studied via direct sequencing. One patient (4), a 16 year old female, was found to harbour a polymorphic variant on the 3' UTR of the VHL gene (c.*1149 A>G). This patient also harboured the promoter region mutation c.–65_–55dup11 of the VHL gene. She presented with an isolated retinal angioma and an unremarkable family history although the dup11 variant was inherited from an nonsymptomatic parent. ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

      FamilyInfo: The patient had two unaffected siblings who did not carry the mutation. The patient's father (III-8) carried the mutation and had brain hemangioblastoma, pheochromocytoma, and retina hemangioblastoma. His paternal aunt (III-7) harboured the same mutation and had a brain hemangioblastoma and retina hemangioblastoma. Her children, this patient's cousins, also harboured the mutation and had clinical presentations of VHL. His other paternal aunt (III-6) carried a different VHL mutation, Pro25Leu, but was asymptomatic. The patient's paternal grandmother (II-5) also harboured the same mutation and presented with renal cell carcinoma. This patient's great aunt (II-1) carried two different VHL mutations; the Ser80Asn and Pro25Leu but herself was asymptomatic. She passed the Ser80Asn mutation to her daughter, the proband (III-1), who had renal cell carcinoma, brain hemangioblastoma, and pheochromocytoma. Refer to figure 1 for pedigree.

    2. We have described the development and validation of a new gene-expression diagnostic test called Pheo-type for classification of PPGL tumors based on the underlying genetic driver of the disease. Our assay confirms that the predominant gene-expression subtypes of PPGL are closely linked to tumor genotype and for the first time show that classification can be achieved using a relatively small gene set. Pheo-type is similar to other clinical assays developed on the Nanostring platform for subtyping of solid tumors (50–52). As with these other studies, we have shown that robust gene-expression analysis can be achieved from small amounts of FFPE tissue material generating data that are comparable to other gene-expression platforms. The assay is rapid, largely automated, and cost effective, enabling the generation of results in 2 days from RNA extraction to data analysis, facilitating its implementation in a routine diagnostic laboratory.

      Recently, Lenglet et al., 2018 identified a new VHL cryptic exon termed E1' deep in intron 1 that is naturally expressed in many tissues, and found E1' mutations in eight families with either erythrocytosis or VHL disease. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of E1' germline mutations from two cohorts, 221 patients with a single or multiple tumours, suggestive of VHL disease, and 946 patients with a Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) but without an identified mutation in the three VHL exons or in the main PPGL susceptibility genes. They identified a rare germline genetic variant (maf <1%) in the E1’ VHL cryptic exon in 1% of patients (12/1167). Patient 1 was diagnosed at the age of 47 with follow up of a 5 year duration due to a Carotid body paraganglioma (PGL) and was found to have a germline c.340+563C>T E1' variant. Tumor analysis was performed for patient 1 since there was a paraffin embedded sample. Patient 1 did not have loss of heterozygosity, but the mutated allele was lost in the tumor. Immunostaining was negative for detection of CA9 expression. CA9 is a protein reported to influence regulation cell proliferation and tumor progression and is known to be expressed at the membrane of tumour cells in the case of VHL inactivation.

    2. 462A→C Tv Exon 2 154 CCA P P154P

      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 synonymous mutation (p.P154= (c.462A>C)) was found in a VHL patient with retinal hemangioblastomas. Other manifestations are not clearly stated. No family information was provided.

    1. One year later, a 10-year-old sister of the proband (II-2) was referred to our service because of palpitations, weight loss, diaphoresis, and shooting pain attacks that had started about two weeks earlier. Based on this clinical picture and because of her family history, a pheochromocytoma was suspected immediately. Her urinary metanephrines were elevated to 12.2 mg/g creatinine (< 1 mg/g). A CT of the abdomen revealed a mass in the left adrenal; there were no lesions in the pancreas or the kidney. This mass was also positive on MIBG scintigraphy. As in her brother, there was no suggestion that the paraganglia would also be involved. Her MRI of the brain, and her echocardiogram were both normal. She was then treated with an alpha-blocker (prazosin) in preparation for an open adrenalectomy. Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma in the left adrenal gland.

The father was not available for genetic testing because he had died, apparently secondary to a hypertensive crisis. The five other family members which underwent genetic testing did not have the mutation.

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0006748 (Adrenal pheochromocytoma)

      CaseHPOFreeText: At 10Y, the patient reported palpitations, weight loss, diaphoresis, and shooting pain attacks. Her urinary metanephrines were elevated to 12.2 mg/g creatinine. A CT of the abdomen revealed a mass in the left adrenal gland. Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed diagnosis of left adrenal pheochromocytoma. Additional screening revealed no other tumours, so this fit the criteria of VHL type 2C.

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: There were no lesions in the pancreas or the kidney, there was also no suggestion that the paraganglia would also be involved. Her MRI of the brain, and her echocardiogram were both normal.

    1. A 20-year-old Caucasian woman presented to our institution with decreased vision in the right eye (RE) with a 4-month evolution. The patient’s vital signs were within normal limits, and no abnormalities were noticed upon physical and neurological examination. Similarly, her past medical history was unremarkable. Her best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 50 ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) letters in the RE and 84 ETDRS letters in the left eye. Her intraocular pressure (IOP) was normal in both eyes, and the result of her anterior segment examination was unremarkable. Upon ophthalmoscopic examination, a red-colored globular lesion of 3 disk diameters (DDs) with prominent feeder vessels was noticed in the superior temporal region of the retina in the RE (Fig. 1). The fellow eye was normal on fundus examination, and no other lesions were found in the posterior pole or periphery. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was carried out using the DRI OCT Triton™ SS-OCT device (Topcon Medical, Tokyo, Japan).

The index case was a 26-year-old male who presented to the emergency department complaining of obstipation, severe headache and abdominal pain. The family background of the parents and siblings history is unavailable since the patient was an orphan. An autopsy revealed bilateral pheochromocytoma and acute myocardial infarction. Molecular genetic analyses for germline mutations of the VHL gene were performed after DNA extraction from normal liver tissue using standard methods. A mutation in VHL gene R167W (c.499C>T) was detected.

    1. 41 non-related patients with retinal capillary hemangioma presenting in the Benjamin Franklin University Eye Clinic between 1988 to 1999 Germany were evaluated for the presence of other VHL lesions. VHL disease was diagnosed in 33 patients based on the presence of other severe VHL lesions (spinal hemangioblastoma, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, renal cysts, pancreatic cyst, renal carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma), molecular genetic testing, and/or family history. VHL germline mutations were identified in 27 out of 29 VHL families screened with molecular genetics. Blood samples were genetically tested using PCR-SSCP sequencing. One patient with VHL-related retinal angiomatosis was found to have germline frameshift deletion (c.210delG) mutation in the VHL gene. This variant was reported as c.423delG (AF010238.1) and mapped to p.E70Dfs*89 (c.210del) (NM_000551.3). It's unclear which other VHL-related lesions were identified in this patient.

    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 (c.562delC) was found in 2 family members with renal cell carcinomas, one with retinal angiomas (diagnosed at 25Y), and one with cerebellar hemangioblastoma (diagnosed at 24Y).

    4. 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. c.182_185del was found in a VHL patient with retinal angiomas diagnosed at 31Y, and hemangioblastomas of the cerebellum at 30Y.

    1. VHL-gene mutation analysis (40/110)

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

      GenotypingMethod: The three exons of the VHL gene (coding region of 852 nucleotides) were sequenced. PCR products were purified with the QiA quick PCR purification kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), and the sequencing reactions were done using the ABI PRISM DYE Terminator sequencing kit (Perkin-Elmer Applied Biosystems Division, Foster City, CA), and were analysed on the ABI 373 A sequencer.

      SamplingMethod: Peripheral blood

    1. Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is a tumor suppressor that negatively regulates the production of angiogenic factors. Mutations in the VHL gene cause VHL syndrome, which is characterized by highly vascularized tumors. Here we report a c.464T>A mutation of the VHL gene in three patients with hemangioblastoma from a Chinese family. This mutation was not reported previously and was absent in the unaffected family members. The mutation is predicted to cause Val to Glu substitution at VHL protein residue 155 in a conserved region. Previous biochemical studies demonstrated that residue Val-155 was critical for VHL protein binding to chaperonin TRiC/CCT, an essential step for proper VHL protein folding. Our finding of naturally occurring VHL V155E mutation in patients with VHL syndrome supports the functional importance of Val-155 residue in VHL protein and illustrates the diversity of VHL gene defects underlying VHL syndrome.

    1. Here, we report imaging findings in a VHL patient and in 3 consecutive family members

      Four patients from the same family carrying missense VHL mutation c.509 T>G were screened for VHL related lesions. Patient 1, 30Y F, had undergone treatment for pancreatic endocrine tumors and pheochromocytoma. Patient 2, 30Y M, was affected by retinal angioma, bilateral adrenal pheochromocytoma and sacral, intercarotid paraganglioma. Patient 3 underwent treatment for pheochromocytoma. Investigations revealed additional pancreatic endocrine tumor and a pheochromocytoma. Patient 4 had an endocrine pancreatic tumor and a pheochromocytoma. ACMG: 'PP4' because the patients' phenotypes and family history are highly specific for a disease with single genetic etiology.

      A cohort of 314 patients with pheochromocytoma and functional paraganglioma had blood samples collected and all five major pheo-pgl susceptibility genes (RET, VHL, SDHB, SDHD, and SDHC) were screened for mutations. 25 patients had germline VHL mutations, 16 of which had a family history and 9 patients had an apparently sporadic presentation, 11 were male and 14 were female, the median age of diagnosis is 23.9 and range of diagnosis was 4-49. Out of the 25 patients 23 had adrenal tumours, 4 had para-adrenal tumours, and 9 had other VHL lesions (renal tumours and hemangioblastomas). 1 patient with positive family history and/or a syndromic presentation was found with pheochromocytoma or functional paraganglioma and a germline missense VHL mutation (p.L184H (c.551T>A), referred to in the paper by c.608T>A due to a difference in transcript sequence).

    1. a deleting mutation in the first exon (nt. 394-406) of the VHL locus, truncating 16 amino acids (N61-77) from the first beta sheet in the VHL protein.

      The patient presented at age 43 with a new left varicocele having already suffered one episode of gross hematuria. An abdominal ultrasonography revealed the presence of a left renal mass and a 2-cm renal mass in his right kidney. CT scan demonstrated two small 4-mm lung lesions. This was followed by a left radical nephrectomy. Pathological examination of the mass demonstrated a clear-cell RCC. A 1-cm isolated metastatic nodule was also found in the adrenal gland. Two years later, the lung lesions had increased to 5 mm, a further three 2-mm nodular lesions had appeared in the lungs and no growth in the small right renal lesion was found. Following this, MR imaging demonstrated an intradural intramedullary lesion (later confirmed to be consistent with a hemangioblastoma from the inferior portion of the T-5 to T-6) with a prominent feeding vessel. The patient underwent a T5–8 laminectomy. Clinical diagnosis of VHL was reached at this point. Genetic analysis found a deleting mutation in the first exon (nt. 394-406) of the VHL locus, truncating 16 amino acids (N61-77) from the first beta sheet in the VHL protein. This mutation was translated to the updated reference sequence (NM_000551.3) as p.P61_C77del (c.181_231del). This mutation was not present in any of the family members tested including the patient’s two children. At this point, MRI showed no masses, ophthalmological examination showed normal results and a congenital malformation with C-1 occipitalization and C2–3 fusion were identified. The patient underwent resection of the right renal mass, which was consistent with a clear-cell carcinoma. One year later, two cerebral lesions were diagnosed and were consistent with RCC metastases in the right occipital lobe for which he received radiation therapy. No new lesions had appeared in the spinal cord and his chest disease was found to be stable. ACMG evidence codes: 'PM6' since this mutation was declared to be non-familial but kindred testing was not specified (assumed de novo), 'PP4' since the patients phenotypes are highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. Patient 2 A 17-year-old girl with a history of primitive headache, intense nocturnal sweating and 2-month-long amenorrhoea and elevated blood pressure presented a 7-cm-diameter right adrenal mass at abdominal sonography, confirmed by MRI. The mass showed inhomogeneous density: hypodensity in T1 and hyperdensity in T2 and after Gadolinium contrast. Immunometric assays indicated very high levels of chromogranin A (242 UI/L; NR 2–18) and catecholamines: noradrenaline levels were 14·460 nmol/day (NR: 90–470), and adrenaline and dopamine levels were in the normal range. A 123I-MIBG scintigraphy showed a high tracer uptake in right adrenal gland, as expected. The patient underwent surgical removal of the mass, which was 8 × 6 × 5 cm in size. Immunohistochemical assays indicated that the tumour was positive for chromogranin A and synaptophysin, compatible with a diagnosis of PHEO. Follow-up blood test after 2 years was within normal limits, except for a still moderate elevated CgA (67 UI/L, NR 2–18). The family history was negative for PHEO or other neuroendocrine tumours.

    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. One patient was found to harbour the 508G>T (Val170Phe) VHL gene mutation, documented in the paper as 721G>T due to a difference in transcript sequence. This patient presented with a cerebellar hemangioblastoma. As well, a somatic mutation presenting in their tumor as p.N193M*9 (c.576del13). ACMG evidence codes: 'PP4' since the patient presents phenotypes highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

    1. Poorer survival has been associated with loss of function events (frameshift or nonsense mutations) compared with wild-type, missense mutations, and mutations of unknown biological consequence (25, 32) although numbers of cases in the LOF group were very small. We found no prognostic effect of VHL mutation but a trend (although not quite statistically significant) was seen for increased frequency of microvascular invasion in tumors where the presumed deletion would occur essentially from the elongin binding region onwards, possibly indicating a role for either HIF-regulated factors or other VHL substrates in this aspect of tumorigenesis. The largest previous study also found no relationship between clinicopathologic factors and VHL mutation/LOH in cRCC (26, 35). In marked contrast, however, is that 0 of 11 cRCC cases with methylation had an intragenic mutation whereas we found 14 of 19 methylated cases to have a confirmed mutation, although their mutation and methylation frequencies overall were much lower (51% and 5.4%, respectively). However, a significantly better cancer-free and overall survival was seen in patients with stage I to III cancer with VHL alteration (mutation or methylation) but wasn't seen in stage IV disease (35). Our data fails to confirm this although when stage IV patients were included a similar trend was seen. Differences between studies might reflect samples sizes, length of follow-up, and postoperative treatment.

    1. One hundred and sixteen unrelated VHL disease patients have been investigated by molecular genetic analysis. Twenty-two of these were previously shown to have germline deletions on Southern analysis, and in the present study the remaining 94 patients were screened for intragenic mutations via SSCP and heteroduplex analysis of 855 bp of the VHL coding sequence and 800 bp of the 3' UTR. An intragenic mutation was identified in 55 (59%) out of 94 patients without germline deletions on Southern analysis. In all patients with multiple affected family members the missense mutation segregated with the disease. Large deletions or intragenic mutations predicted to cause a truncated protein were found in 36 of 53 families without pheochromocytoma (VHL type 1) and 2 of 12 families with pheochromocytoma (VHL type 2). This study also investigated the frequency of different mutation classes between kindreds with and without pheochromocytoma. The p.R79P (c.236G>C) variant (noted as p.R150P (c.449G>C) in the paper due to a difference in reference transcript used) was found in at least one patient in kindred 150. No familial phenotypic information could be inferred from the paper.

    1. Materials and MethodsPatients and Sample CollectionOur study included 314 PPGL patients from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, China. Most patients had undergone surgery and were histopathologically diagnosed with PPGL. For the patients with unresectable or metastatic tumor, PPGL diagnosis was established on the basis of clinical features (headache, palpitations and sweating), increased 24-h urinary catecholamine excretion or plasma metanephrines and imaging tests. 99mTc-hydrazinonicotinyl-Tyr3-0ctreotide (99mTc-HYNIC-TOC) scintigraphy, Iodine-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy and contrast-enhanced thoracoabdominal-pelvic computed tomography (CT) were performed for almost all PPGLs. Some patients underwent head and neck enhanced CT or head and neck enhanced MRI examination. 18F-FDG-PET/CT or 68Ga-DOATATATE-PET/CT were performed to patients suspected of metastasis or PPGLs with multiple lesions. Blood samples of the patients were collected, with informed consents obtained from the patients and approval from the medical ethics committee of the hospital.Genomic DNA Preparation and Sanger SequencingGenomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of PPGL patients by using blood DNA Midi Kit (Omega Bio-Tek, Norcross, Georgia, USA). For patients with metastatic PPGL, all the coding sequences and the intro-exon junctions of SDHB ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_003000.3","term_id":"1732746310","term_text":"NM_003000.3"}}NM_003000.3) were amplified and sequenced on an ABI3730 DNA analyzer (Applied Biosystems, CA, USA). For patients with head or neck PPGL, all the coding sequences and the intron-exon junctions of SDHB and SDHD ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_003002.4","term_id":"1519245278","term_text":"NM_003002.4"}}NM_003002.4) were amplified and sequenced. As for patients with clinically-diagnosed hereditary syndromes, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia Type 2 (MEN2) and Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, hot spots (10, 11, 16 exons) of RET ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_020630.4","term_id":"126273513","term_text":"NM_020630.4"}}NM_020630.4) and all exons, including intro-exon junctions of VHL ({"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"NM_000551.3","term_id":"319655736","term_text":"NM_000551.3"}}NM_000551.3), were amplified and sequenced, respectively.

Agilent SureSelectXT custom kit (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) was used to generate sequence library according to instructions. Briefly, fragments of 180-280bp were produced by using a hydrodynamic shearing system (Covaris, Massachusetts, USA). The DNA fragments were end-repaired, A-tailed and adapter-ligated for Illumina sequencing. Then, size selection, PCR amplification and library hybridization were performed. Each captured library with an index was loaded onto the Illumina HiSeq X platform (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA), and 150-bp paired-end reads were generated.The fastq files were subjected to quality control to exclude unwanted sequences, including adapter-contaminated or low quality or unrecognizable nucleotides. The fastq files were aligned against the Human Reference Genome (UCSC hg19) by using the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA). Then, the SAM tools (11) were used to generate the final BAM file (12) to calculate the sequence coverage and depth by sorting the BAM files and performing repeated marking, partial realignment and base quality recalibration. At last, the Variant Call Format files obtained in the previous step were annotated by ANNOVAR (13).Annotated variants with coverage over 10×, mutant allele frequency (MAF) < 0.01 in the 1,000 Genomes databases and in the exonic or splicing region (10 bp upstream and downstream of splicing sites) were retained (14). The synonymous variants were excluded. Non-synonymous SNVs were retained if at least two of the functional predictions by PolyPhen-2, SIFT, MutationTaster and CADD showed the SNV was damaging. “Benign” or “likely benign” variants in ClinVar were eliminated (15–18). American College of Genomic Medicine (ACMG) guidelines were used for the classification of variant pathogenicity (19). All the variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

    1. Case 12In 1993, a 39-yr-old female with recent onset of hypertension was diagnosed with a right pheochromocytoma. At age 36, a suspected left pheochromocytoma was noted by CT and increased urinary metanephrines was confirmed at age 39 by [123I]MIBG scintigraphy. This imaging showed in addition an uptake located in the neck. MRI confirmed a left adrenal tumor and a left 2-cm vagal paraganglioma that was removed and confirmed histopathologically. Genetic testing identified the VHL p.Tyr156Cys mutation. No other tumor of the VHL spectrum was discovered. Three of her four sons were found to carry the mutation. Clinical screening of all 3 disclosed a 2.4-cm abdominal paraganglioma in one of them but no lesion in the other brothers.

    1. 2.3.1 DNA extraction Tumoral DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues as previously described [38]. Briefly, paraffin sections of tumor tissue were selected by a pathologist (MB) and tissue cores removed from the respective blocks to ensure that the tumor cells comprised more than 90% of the samples. Uninvolved normal tissue or peripheral blood (PB) was used as the source of normal DNA control for each patient for LOH analysis. Tumour tissue was digested with SDS/proteinase K for 24 h at 48 °C, and DNA was extracted with phenol/chloroform [38]. DNA concentration was quantified by absorbance measurement at 260 and 280 nm using the Nanodrop spectrophotometer. 2.3.2 Mutation analysis PCR amplification was performed searching for point mutation in the entire VHL coding sequence and promoter region, including exon-intron boundaries. Amplification was performed in a Gene Amp PCR System 9700 (Perkin Elmer, Foster City, CA) in a final reaction volume of 25 μl containing 100 ng of genomic DNA template, 0.25 nM dNTPs, 20 pmol of each primer, 1 U HotMaster Taq polymerase (Eppendorf s.r.l., Milan, Italy), in 1X PCR Reaction Buffer. PCR cycling conditions consisted of an initial denaturation step at 94 °C for 2 min, followed by 35 cycles at 94 °C for 30 s, the specific annealing temperature for 30 s, and ending with a final elongation step at 72 °C for 7 min. PCR products were purified using GFX™ PCR DNA and Gel Band Purification Kit (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) and sequenced. Sequencing reactions were performed in 10 μl of the final volume composed of 3 pmol of primer, 4–6 ng of DNA template and 1 μl of Big Dye Terminator Read Reaction mix v.1.1 (Applied Biosystems by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA USA). Sequencing reactions were loaded on an ABI 3100 capillary sequencer (Applied Biosystems) and analyzed using the Sequencing Analysis software v.3.7 (PE Applied Biosystems). When mutations were detected in DNA from tumor samples, we searched for the same mutation in the corresponding PB DNA in order to identify germline mutations. 2.3.3 Loss of heterozygosity analysis Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis using fluorescent-labeled DNA primers from matched PB and tumor tissues was performed using three microsatellite markers flanking the VHL gene: D3S1335, D3S1038, and D3S1317. PCR was performed in a 50 μl reaction volume containing 2,5 μl of 10X PCR Buffer (Eppendorf), 0.25 nM dNTPs, 20 pmol of each primer, 1 U HotMaster Taq (Eppendorf) and 100 ng of DNA. Cycling conditions consisted of 40 cycles of LMS2 (ABI Prism™ Linkage Mapping Set, version 2) method performed on a GeneAmp PCR System 9700 (Applied Biosystems) for all markers. After capillary array electrophoresis (ABI 3100, Applied Biosystems), and data analysis by the ABI Genescan and Genotyper Software 3.7 (Applied Biosystems), LOH or allelic imbalance (AI) value was quantified using the formula <<(peak 1 height/peak2 height in tumor DNA)/(peak 1 height/peak 2 height in normal DNA)>>, and following stricter criteria than previously suggested [39]. In fact, the cut-off for defining an AI was lowered to 0.5 whereas an AI > 0.5 and <0.65 defined a borderline case. LOH status was confirmed at least twice for each marker. 2.3.4 Methylation analysis The methylation status of the promoter region of the VHL gene was determined by methylation specific PCR (MSP) as previously described [28]. Briefly, 1 μg of the genomic DNA was modified with EpiTect®Bisulfite Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Modified DNA was amplified by specific primers for both unmethylated and methylated sequences. PCR was performed in 20 μl reaction volumes containing 1X PCR Buffer [16.6 mM ammonium sulfate, 67 mM Tris (pH 8.8), 6.7 mM magnesium chloride, 10 mM b-mercaptoethanol, 1% DMSO, and 1.25 mM deoxynucleotide triphosphates), 0.2 mM each deoxynucleoside triphosphate, 100 pmol of each primer, 2 units of PlatinumTaq polymerase (Invitrogen), and 50 ng of bisulfite-modified DNA. PCR cycling conditions were as follows: 2 min at 94 °C, 5 cycles of 30 s denaturation at 94 °C, 30 s at 64 °C and 30 s extension at 72 °C, 5 cycles at 94 °C, 30 s at 62 °C and 30 s extension at 72 °C, 25 cycles at 94 °C, 30 s at 60 °C and 30 s extension at 72 °C, and a final extension step of 7 min at 72 °C. CpGenome Universal Methylated DNA (Millipore, Merck Millipore Inc., Billerica, Massachusetts) was used as a positive control. PCR products were loaded on 3% agarose gels with ethidium bromide and visualized under UV illumination.

    1. Case report A 6-year-old girl was brought into the ED by her parents in the late evening with a 5 week history of colicky, peri-umbilical pain and general malaise. Her mother reported that they had been to the family doctor repeatedly since the onset of symptoms and trialled a number of medications (including antispasmodics and various analgesics) without success. On further questioning, the patient described several episodes of spontaneous vomiting without obvious cause or association over the past month. Her appetite was poor and she had been losing weight. There were no other gastrointestinal or urinary symptoms. There was no history of fever, although she did report ‘sweating for no reason’ on occasion. She had also been suffering from intermittent, generalized headaches without any other focal symptoms over the same time period. She had been previously well, the only noteworthy point in her medical history being her conception through in vitro fertilization. There were no developmental concerns or family history of note. On examination, the patient appeared pale, tired, mildly dehydrated, but apyrexial and comfortable at rest. She was profoundly tachycardic, with a heart rate of 170 beats per minute, and had a BP of 203/157 mmHg on repeat measurements (normal systolic range 90–110 mmHg in this age group). Crucially, as the patient arrived in the early evening, she was triaged in the adult ED and not the paediatric ED (which was closed at this time), where BP would not have been part of routine observations in this age group. Urinary dipstick showed raised protein and blood. General examination was otherwise normal. In discussion with paediatric cardiology, the patient was started immediately on oral nifedipine to control the malignant hypertension prior to further investigation. Blood tests revealed low potassium of 3.0 mmol/L (normal 3.3–4.6) with raised urea (10.0 mmol/L; 2.5–6.5) and creatinine (81 mmol/L; 25–60). Routine haematology and biochemistry bloods (including liver and thyroid function tests) were otherwise unremarkable. An abdominal ultrasound scan demonstrated a 3 × 2.5 cm mass at the upper pole of the left kidney without a distinctly identifiable adrenal gland, a finding confirmed on CT (Fig. 1), which also showed some low attenuation suggestive of cystic change within the mass. Serial urinary metanephrines were subsequently found to be grossly elevated (17.0, 18.1 and 14.7 µmol/mmol creatinine; normal <1.74) with a predominant normetanephrine fraction, suggesting a diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma. Figure 1Open in figure viewerPowerPoint Ultrasound image (above) of the patient's left kidney (between the two crosses) clearly showing an abnormal mass associated with the organ. The adrenal cannot be distinctly identified. The mass was further characterized on CT (below, the mass having been circled). Sympathetic blockade was established first using gradually increasing doses of oral phenoxybenzamine (switched to i.v. dosing in the 5 days prior to surgery), then adding propranolol, aiming for a systolic BP of 80 mmHg with postural drop of 10 mmHg in order to facilitate safe removal of the tumour. Concurrent investigations identified raised serum renin and aldosterone levels consistent with secondary hyperaldosteronism. Serum calcitonin and urinary steroid profiles were normal, as was retinal screening for abnormalities associated with von Hippel-Lindau (vHL) disease, including retinal haemangiomas and hypertensive retinopathy. A laparoscopic left adrenalectomy took place 6 weeks after initial presentation, and priority was placed on close cardiovascular monitoring perioperatively. The patient was fit for discharge 3 days after surgery histology subsequently confirming the diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma.

    1. VHL mutational analysis Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes using the semi-automated Quickgene system (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). The entire VHL coding sequence (three coding exons) as well as the intron/exon junctions were amplified by PCR using pairs of primers derived from the VHL published sequence. Primer sequences and annealing temperatures are available on request. Each 25 µl PCR amplification reaction contained 1X buffer, 200 ng of genomic DNA, 0.2 mM of each dNTP, 2 U Taq polymerase, 1 mM of forward and reverse primers, and 1.5 mM MgCl2. PCR products were analysed in 1.5% agarose gels from which the bands with the amplified templates were excised, and the DNA subsequently purified with the help of the Qiaex II kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Direct automated sequencing of VHL was performed with the BigDye Terminador Cycle Sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA), adding about 15 ng of template DNA in each reaction and using a temperature program that included 25 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, annealing at 50°C for 15 s, and extension at 60°C for 4 min. All samples were analized in an ABI Prism 310 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems). Wild-type (Ensembl Transcript ID: ENST00000256474) and mutated VHL sequences were compared manually.
