von Hippel Lindau (VHL) disease is a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by biallelic inactivation of the VHL tumor suppressor gene. The most widely known function of VHL is to limit normoxic protein expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-alpha (HIF-alpha). Loss of the functional VHL gene causes constitutive stabilization of HIF-alpha that primarily up-regulates hypoxia-inducible genes even at normal oxygen...
