A recurrent synonymous VHL variant (c.414A>G, p.Pro138Pro) confers susceptibility to PHEO and VHL disease through splice disruption, leading to VHL dysfunction.

Targeted resequencing of CDKN2B in individuals (n = 82) with features of inherited RCC then revealed three candidate CDKN2B missense mutations (p.Pro40Thr, p.Ala23Glu, and p.Asp86Asn).

The study was designed to explore the association of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with VHL (rs779805), MTHFR (rs1801133) and APOE (rs8106822 and rs405509) polymorphisms, investigate the interactions among the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and explore roles of the interactions in the pathogenesis of RCC in Chinese Han population.

Here, we describe an infant of Bangladesh ethnicity with a novel homozygous VHL(D126N) mutation with congenital polycythemia and dramatically elevated erythropoietin (EPO) levels, who developed severe fatal pulmonary hypertension.

Family A, with deletion of exon 3 in the VHL gene, and family B, with the missense mutation p.R79P, exhibited type 1 VHL characterized by the absence of pheochromocytoma and a high incidence of central nervous system hemangioblastomas.
Studies including 16 additional VHL(R200W) homozygotes with low ferritin indicated that iron deficiency enhanced the induction effect of VHL(R200W) for 50 genes including hemoglobin synthesis loci but suppressed the effect for 107 genes enriched for HIF-2 targets.
Thus, our studies revealed detailed information describing how VHL-R167Q contributes to tumorigenesis and identified a potential targeted therapy for ccRCC and other VHL-related disease in patients carrying VHL-R167Q or similar missense mutations.
VHL-R167Q binds elongin C and elongin B with considerably less avidity than wild-type VHL does but retains residual capacity to generate a VHL-elongin C-elongin B complex, downregulate HIF2α, and suppress tumorigenesis</span>, which could be rescued by increase of VHL-R167Q levels.
However, we here describe an unusual phenotype with a novel missense mutation, p.L198P, and report the finding that VHL disease can be associated with Goldenhar syndrome.
A novel missense mutation (p.L198P) was identified in the VHL gene in the patient from family C. This p.L198P mutation caused a phenotype with early onset of a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas, bilateral pheochromocytomas, and optic nerve hemangioblastoma.

We observed intracranial aneurysms in 2 patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease and the known disease-causing mutation c.292T > C (p.Tyr98His) in the VHL tumor suppressor gene.

However, now we describe a new homozygous VHL exon 2 mutation of the VHL gene:(c.413C>T):P138L, which is associated in the affected homozygote with congenital polycythemia but not in her, or her-heterozygous relatives, with cancer or other VHL syndrome tumors.

Interestingly, the level of RUNX1/AML1 and NF-E2 transcripts that are specifically upregulated in acquired polycythemia vera were also upregulated in VHL(P138L) granulocytes.
