I have VHL,and I recently discovered that my mutation is nt 407 C/G 65 Ser?Trp S65W missense. My questions are: 1. Based on the mutation should I be focused on certain screenings more than others? In other words should I follow the same protocol as others with VHL but with different mutations? 2. Does this mutation define how the disease will progress?
