The rupture of intracranial aneurysms leads to subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is often associated with poor outcome. Preventive treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is possible and recommended. However, the lack of candidate genes precludes identifying patients at risk by genetic analyses. We observed intracranial aneurysms in 2 patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease and the known disease-causing mutation c.292T > C (p.Tyr98His) in the VHL tumor suppressor gene. This study investigates whether the VHL gene is a possible candidate gene for aneurysm formation.
