Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Haemangioblastoma of the CNS occurs as a sporadic entity and as a manifestation of the autosomal dominant von Hippel-Lindau disease with the major additional components retinal angioma, renal cancer, and pheochromocytoma. Genetic testing for germline mutations predisposing to von Hippel-Lindau disease has been available since identification of the VHL tumour suppressor gene. The impact of this testing...
