Family history of von Hippel-Lindau disease was uncommon in Chinese patients: suggesting the higher frequency of de novo mutations in VHL gene in these patients.

Abstract excerpt

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome caused by germline mutations in VHL tumor suppressor gene. It is characterized by hemangioblastoma in central nervous system and retina, renal cell carcinoma or cyst, pheochromocytoma, pancreatic cyst and tumor, endolymphatic-sac tumor, and papillary cystadenoma in epididymis and broad ligament.
