Genes affected

SDHC (HGNC:10682): (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit C) This gene encodes one of four nuclear-encoded subunits that comprise succinate dehydrogenase, also known as mitochondrial complex II, a key enzyme complex of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and aerobic respiratory chains of mitochondria. The encoded protein is one of two integral membrane proteins that anchor other subunits of the complex, which form the catalytic core, to the inner mitochondrial membrane. There are several related pseudogenes for this gene on different chromosomes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with paragangliomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

May 20, 2025

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.-4C>G variant is located in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) of the SDHC gene. This variant results from a C to G substitution 4 bases upstream from the first translated codon. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1

Apr 03, 2023

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a C to G nucleotide substitution at the -4 position in the 5' untranslated region of the SDHC gene. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with SDHC-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251246 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
