A Novel RNF139 Mutation in Hemangioblastomas: Case Report
Conclusion
We report a novel mutation of RNF139 p.Q650R (c.A1949G) in a family diagnosed with HBs. Based on the important role of RNF139 gene in the development of cancer, the pathogenicity of the mutation, and the clinical manifestation of the patient (phenotypic characterization), we hypothesized that this mutation could play a pathogenic role in the mechanism of HBs progression.
