In this study, we disclose the identification of a novel genetic variant in a Jordanian family, affecting eleven family members with pheochromocytoma associated with VHL disease. This finding underscores the importance of screening family members and contemplating genetic testing for individuals newly diagnosed with pheochromocytoma and could enhance our comprehension of the potential adverse consequences associated with VHL germline mutations.
