VHL is caused by mutations of the <jats:italic>VHL<\/jats:italic> tumor suppressor gene on the short arm of chromosome 3, and clinical manifestations develop if both alleles are inactivated according to the two-hit hypothesis. <jats:italic>VHL<\/jats:italic> mutations are more frequent in the coding region and occur occasionally in the splicing region of the gene. Previously, we reported that the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the <jats:italic>VHL<\/jats:italic> gene is common in squamous cell carcinoma tissues of the tongue.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We describe a case of squamous cell carcinoma in the tongue caused by a point mutation in the splicing region of the <jats:italic>VHL<\/jats:italic> gene and discuss its association with VHL disease. Sequence analysis of DNA extracted from the tumor and peripheral blood of the patient with squamous cell carcinoma revealed a heterozygous germline mutation (c. 340 + 5 G &gt; C) in the splice donor sequence in intron 1 of the <jats:italic>VHL<\/jats:italic> gene. RT-PCR analysis of the exon1\/intron1 junction in RNA from tumor tissue detected an unspliced transcript. Analysis of LOH using a marker with a heterozygous mutation of nucleotides (G or C) revealed a deletion of the mutant C allele in the carcinoma tissues.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The fifth nucleotide G of the splice donor site of the <jats:italic>VHL<\/jats:italic> gene is important for the efficiency of splicing at that site. The development of tongue cancer in this patient was not associated with VHL disease because the mutation occurred in only a single allele of the <jats:italic>VHL<\/jats:italic> gene and that allele was deleted in tumor cells.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2350-13-23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,31]],"date-time":"2012-03-31T10:39:16Z","timestamp":1333190356000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A mutation at IVS1 + 5 of the von Hippel-Lindau gene resulting in intron retention in transcripts is not pathogenic in a patient with a tongue cancer?: case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Takeshi","family":"Asakawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariko","family":"Esumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sohei","family":"Endo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akinori","family":"Kida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minoru","family":"Ikeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"927_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"443","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.28.7.443","volume":"28","author":"ER Maher","year":"1991","unstructured":"Maher ER, Iselius L, Yates JR, Littler M, Benjamin C, Harris R, Sampson J, Williams A, Ferguson-Smith MA, Morton N: Von Hippel-Lindau disease: a genetic study.
