Our thanks to Pierre Jacomet of Chile for the Spanish translation, and to Drs. Karina Villar and Myriam Gorospe for their close review.

Our thanks to Jean-Joseph Crampe for the French translation, and to Gilles Brunet and Dr. Stéphane Richard for their close review.

Many thanks to Dr. Kan Gong, Peking University Hospital, Beijing, for translating the Handbook into Chinese, and to Dr. Zhengping Zhuang of the U.S. National Institutes of Health for its review.

An additional nine translations are under way throughout the world. These translations make this critical information available to patients and local doctors in their own language.

According to genetic estimates, there are as many as 30,000 people with VHL among China’s 1.4 billion people. We are hopeful that the Handbook will help more of these people achieve a diagnosis, and get the help they need to manage their health.

All local language versions are downloadable from the internet, or available on paper from the Brookline office.
