Von Hippel-Lindau - VHL Alliance
Von Hippel-Lindau Disease (VHL) is a genetic condition characterized by blood vessel tumors in up to ten areas of the body. It is caused by a flaw in one gene—the VHL gene. The VHL gene is in all of us, helping to suppress the growth of tumors. Those with a flaw in this gene are prone to develop tumors throughout their bodies. Researchers are racing to identify and control the pathways that allow tumor growth in VHL and other cancers. Their progress provides hope for all of us by Curing Cancer through VHL.
The VHL Alliance (VHLA) is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 1993. Today, VHLA is the world’s leading organization supporting Von Hippel-Lindau Disease. VHLA funds research, increases awareness, and provides education
and support to improve the lives of thousands of people living with VHL.
