Abstract excerpt
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is associated with various missense germline mutations in the VHL tumor suppressor gene. Some are associated with type 1 VHL disease, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) without pheochromocytoma, while others are associated with type 2A or 2B VHL disease, pheochromocytoma without and with RCC, respectively. These mutations may cause substitutions of specific amino acid residue and...
