von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with tumors in the central nervous system and other organs. The most frequent tumors are cerebellar and retinal haemangioblastomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, renal cell carcinoma, phaeochromocytoma in the adrenal gland, epididymal cystadenoma, and endolymphatic sac tumors. Germline inactivation of VHL tumor suppressor protein leads to the upregulation of HIF and promotes to carcinogenesis.
