The fascinating mechanism of hydroxylation-dependent HIF destruction
- About a decade ago a young man with
polycythemia, reduced growth rate, persistent hypoglycaemia was admitted to the Pediatric Department of our University
Clinical data at birth
Main clinical data at Diagnosis and today

The arrows highlight the presence of nano tunnels
Cholesterol level today
Take Home Messages VHL reduction at integrative level results in a complex phenotype that includes: Growth reduction Polycythemia Altered mitochondria function and structure Possibly altered membrane structure and fluidity Complex metabolic changes Altered cholesterol/fatty acid biosynthesis Increased use of glucose in glycolysis Reduction of TCA intermediates Amino acids as source of energy
