Genotype-phenotype correlations and clinical outcomes of patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease with large deletions
Conclusion
The number of generations and the status of exon 2 could affect age of onset of VHL-related manifestations. Onset age was an independent risk factor for overall survival. TKI therapy was effective in VHL patients with LDs. Our findings would further support clinical surveillance and decision-making processes.
