What is von Hippel-Lindau syndrome?
Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by the formation of tumors and fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in many different parts of the body.
Von Hippel-Lindau disease is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation on the third chromosome. In healthy individuals, the chromosome has a Von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor, while individuals with the disorder are lacking this suppressor.
