Abstract excerpt
Central nervous system hemangioblastomas (CNS-HBs) occur sporadically or as a component of von Hippel-Lindau-VHL syndrome. CNS-HBs share some molecular similarities with pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas (PPGLs) and renal cell carcinomas (RCCs). Recently, hypoxia-inducible factors, particularly somatic HIF2A mutations, have been found to play an important role in the pathogenesis of PPGLs. Somatic mutations in...
