Von Hippel–Lindau disease ( VHL ), also known as Von Hippel–Lindau syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder with multisystem involvement. [3] It is characterized by visceral cysts and benign tumors with potential for subsequent malignant transformation. It is a type of phakomatosis that results from a mutation in the Von Hippel–Lindau tumor ...
The Von Hippel–Lindau tumor suppressor also known as pVHL is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the VHL gene. Mutations of the VHL gene are associated with Von Hippel–Lindau disease, which is characterized by hemangioblastomas of the brain, spinal cord and retina. It is also associated with kidney and pancreatic lesions.
The VHL ( Von Hippel–Lindau) gene encodes a component of an E3 ubiquitin ligase. VHL complex targets a member of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor family (HIF) for degradation by interacting with the oxygen-dependent destruction domain under normoxic conditions.

A common symptom of a brain tumor is headaches. However, most headaches aren't a sign of a brain tumor. We'll tell you how to tell the difference between a brain tumor headache and something more ...
Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor of the adrenal medulla composed of chromaffin cells, also known as pheochromocytes. [3] When a tumor composed of the same cells as a pheochromocytoma develops outside the adrenal gland, it is referred to as a paraganglioma. [4] These neuroendocrine tumors typically release massive amounts of catecholamines which result in the most common symptoms, including ...
An endolymphatic sac tumor ( ELST) is a very uncommon papillary epithelial neoplasm arising within the endolymphatic sac or endolymphatic duct. This tumor shows a very high association with Von Hippel–Lindau syndrome (VHL). [1]
