Germline mutation analysis was performed in 469 VHL families from North America, Europe, and Japan. Germline mutations were identified in 3001469 (63%) of the families tested; 137 distinct intragenic germline mutations were detected. Most of the germline VHL mutations (124/137) occurred in 1-2 famil

Communicated by Victor A. McKusick von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an inherited neoplastic disorder characterized by the development of tumors in the eyes, brain, spinal cord, inner ear, adrenal gland, pancreas, kidney, and epididymis. The VHL tumor suppressor gene was identified in 1993. Initial
Somatic mutations of von Hippel Lindau (VHL) tumorsuppressor gene have been identified in kidney cancers from North America and Japan. We studied VHL gene mutation in 3 I kidney tumors from France. Of these tumors, 45% (14/31) displayed mutations, 60% of which occurred at AT base pairs. The frequenc
