Genes affected

SDHB (HGNC:10681): (succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B) This tumor suppressor gene encodes the iron-sulfur protein subunit of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme complex which plays a critical role in mitochondria. The SDH enzyme complex is composed of four nuclear-encoded subunits. This enzyme complex converts succinate to fumarate which releases electrons as part of the citric acid cycle, and the enzyme complex additionally provides an attachment site for released electrons to be transferred to the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. The SDH enzyme complex plays a role in oxygen-related gene regulation through its conversion of succinate, which is an oxygen sensor that stabilizes the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) transcription factor. Sporadic and familial mutations in this gene result in paragangliomas, pheochromocytoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, supporting a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and tumorigenesis. Mutations in this gene are also implicated in nuclear type 4 mitochondrial complex II deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2022]

Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Pathogenic:2

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: SDHB c.575G>A (p.Cys192Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. This variant affects a cysteine that has been shown to play a vital role coordinating the iron-sulfur cluster in SDHB protein (Saxena_2016). Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251156 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.575G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome (example: Benn_2006, Burnichon_2009, Jochmanova_2017, Jochmanova_2020, Ding_2022, Tang_2024, Internal data). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16317055, 19454582, 35546442, 28374168, 32062700, 26719882, 34906457). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142047). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 192 of the SDHB protein (p.Cys192Tyr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with SDHB-related conditions (PMID: 16317055, 19454582, 28374168, 34906457; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142047). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SDHB protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Cys192 amino acid residue in SDHB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12000816, 17200167, 18382370, 22517554, 25371406, 27785149). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.C192Y pathogenic mutation (also known as c.575G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the SDHB gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 575. The cysteine at codon 192 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma (PGL-PCC) syndrome (Benn DE et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2006 Mar;91(3):827-36; Burnichon N et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2009 Aug;94(8):2817-27; Jochmanova I et al. J. Cancer Res. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Aug;143:1421-1435). The cysteine at codon 192 has been shown to play a vital role coordinating the iron-sulfur cluster in SDHB protein (Iverson TM et al. J Biol Chem. 2012 Oct 12;287(42):35430-8). In addition, another alteration at codon 192 (p.C192R) has been reported in two individuals, one with a sporadic pheochromocytoma and the other with a paraganglioma (Neumann HP et al. N Engl J Med. 2002 May 9;3466(19):1459-66; Burnichon N et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2009 Aug;94(8):2817-27). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
