Von Hippel-Lindau Disease Von Hippel-Lindau disease is a very rare illness in which several tumors run in families. Afflicted individuals can develop cancers of the kidney, brain, spinal cord, pancreas, adrenal gland and eye. The gene (VHL) that causes von Hippel-Lindau disease was discovered in 1993. Because the VHL gene was found, it is now possible to do DNA diagnosis in members of families with von Hippel-Lindau disease. More than 500 members of von Hippel-Lindau disease families have come to the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health for examinations and evaluations as part of the Familial Kidney Tumor Program. Physicians at the National Institutes of Health have become quite experienced and knowledgeable in the treatment of people afflicted with this health problem. Special surgical procedures have been developed to remove kidney tumors from patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease without removing the entire kidney. Research scientists around the world have identified mutations that cause von Hippel-Lindau disease. More than 130 different mutations in the VHL gene have been identified to date.

Von Hippel-Lindau Disease, an Inherited Cancer Syndrome Dr. James Gnarra A VHL patient has a 50-50 chance of passing a mutated form of the VHL gene to each of his or her children. The VHL gene produces a protein that works as a tumor suppressor. Tumor suppressors control cell division, and when tumor suppressors are mutated, they lose their normal function and cells may exhibit uncontrolled growth. Since the VHL tumor suppressor is mutated in most cases of kidney cancer seen in the general population, gaining an understanding of how the VHL tumor suppressor works will help VHL patients as well as patients with non-inherited kidney cancer. The possibility of developing cancer is something that every person fears to some degree. For some, such as VHL patients, it is not a matter of if they will develop cancer but rather, when it will occur. With genetic testing and close medical surveillance, we expect that the life expectancy of a VHL patient diagnosed today will far exceed the life expectancy of a patient diagnosed as recently as 10 years ago. It is the goal of future biomedical research to develop and offer therapies that are even more effective to VHL and non-hereditary kidney cancer patients.

von Hippel-Lindau disease Elongin is an elongation factor for RNA polymerase II. Interestingly, elongin interacts not only with RNA polymerase II but also with the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor protein. Mutations in the gene for this protein that prevent its interaction with elongin result in a hereditary predisposition to various types of cancer. The molecular basis for this predisposition is not yet understood. Back to Research Return to Home Page

Neuroradiology Von Hippel-Lindau Disease S Moorthy, N K Prabhu, K P Sreekumar Ind J Radiol Imag 2002 12:3:325-327 Keywords : Venous aneurysm, Anterior Jugular Vein, CT Angiography Von Hippel-Lindau disease is a rare familial syndrome characterized by multiple central nervous system hemangioblastomas, retinal angiomas and cysts and tumours of the abdominal viscera. Hemangioblastomas have very typical imaging features. Since there are no cutaneous markers in this syndrome, the diagnosis can be achieved only radiologically in most cases. Because of its proven capability in brain and spine imaging, MRI is the modality of choice in diagnosing the central nervous system manifestations of Von Hippel-Lindau disease. Case Report Fig. 1. Unenhanced spin echo T1 sagittal scan of cervical spine shows ill-defined isointense mass in upper cervical cord (asterisk). Scattered flow voids seen within and on the surface of mass (black open arrows). Syrinx involving rest of cervical and upper thoracic cord (arrow). Fig. 2.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Von Hippel-Lindau Disease Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Von Hippel-Lindau Disease (VHL) is a rare inherited genetic condition involving the abnormal growth of tumors Tumor originally just meant "swelling", but the term is very often used to denote abnormal (malignant or benign) growth of tissue. Malignant tumors (cancer) invade and destroy neighboring tissues and can become metastatic. Benign tumors do not invade neighboring tissues and do not seed metastases, but may locally grow to great size.

In people with VHL little knots of capillaries Capillaries are the smallest of the body's blood vessels. They connect arteries and veins. Capillaries have walls composed of a single layer of cells, the endothelium. This layer is so thin that molecules such as oxygen, water and lipids can pass through them by diffusion and enter tissues. Waste products such as carbon dioxide and urea can diffuse back into the blood to be carried away for removal from the body. Click the link for more information.

Von Hippel-Lindau Disease Von Hippel-Lindau Disease (VHL) is a rare inherited genetic condition involving the abnormal growth of tumors in parts of the body which are particularly rich in blood supply. In people with VHL little knots of capillaries sometimes occur called angiomatosis. The tumors of the central nervous system ( CNS ) are called hemangioblastomas These tumors, whether benign (usual) or malignant (rarer), may cause problems, for example angiomas in the brain or spinal cord may press on nerve or brain tissue. As an angioma grows, the walls of the blood vessels may weaken and leak, causing damage to surrounding tissues. Blood leakage from angiomas in the retina can interfere with vision. Cysts may also grow around angiomas. VHL is a autosomal dominant disorder, but there is a wide variation in the date of onset of the disease, the organ system affected and the severity of effect. Untreated, VHL may result in blindness and permanent brain damage, death is usually caused by complications of malign tumors in the brain or kidney. Dr. Eugen von Hippel described the angiomas in the eye in 1904. Dr. Arvid Lindau described the angiomas of the
