Prevalence of Retinal Angiomatosis by VHL Mutational Class

Type of Mutational Class Presence of Retinal Angiomatosis (in at least one eye)

Yes No Total Prevalence of Retinal Angiomatosis*
Amino-acid Substitution 159 259 418 38.0%
Protein Truncation 142 212 354 40.1%
Complete Deletion 9 53 62 14.5%**

Total 310 524 834 37.1%
Comparison Odds ratio (95% confidence limits) for rate of RCH present vs. RCH absent ** P value

Amino-acid substitution vs. Protein Truncation 1.01(0.67-1.54) 0.9453
Amino-acid substitution vs. Complete deletion 5.85 (2.51-13.65) <.0001
Protein Truncation vs. Complete deletion 5.77 (2.45-13.59) <.0001
*

Calculated as number of patients with retinal angiomatosis divided by total number of patients in each subset.

Analyses were adjusted for age, gender, and familial relationships.
