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]

Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The SDHB c.423+20T>A variant was identified in the in heterozygous state in the tumour of one patient with pheochromocytoma (Pantaleo_2014_23612575) and in the tumours of two patients with Carney Triad (association of paragangliomas, pulmonary chondromas, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors with variety of other lesions including pheochromocytomas and adrenocortical tumors) who were also found to have SDHD c.388insG variants (Szarek_2015_25808178). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs190139590) as “With Likely pathogenic allele”. The variant was found in ClinVar with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity as it was classified as likely benign by Children's Mercy Hospital and Clinics, GeneDx, and Laboratory for Molecular Medicine at Partners HealthCare Personalized Medicine, benign by Prevention Genetics and Invitae, but was classified as likely pathogenic by Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America. The variant was found in LOVD 3.0 where it was reported as likely benign. The variant was not identified in Cosmic or MutDB. The variant was identified in control databases in 847 of 282734 chromosomes (8 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.002996 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: South Asian in 295 of 30614 chromosomes (freq: 0.009636), Ashkenazi Jewish in 69 of 10370 chromosomes (freq: 0.006654), Other in 28 of 7224 chromosomes (freq: 0.003876), European (Non-Finnish) in 370 of 129148 chromosomes (freq: 0.002865), Latino in 71 of 35438 chromosomes (freq: 0.002003), European (Finnish) in 10 of 25020 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), African in 3 of 24966 chromosomes (freq: 0.00012) and East African in 1 of 19954 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005). Pathogenic variants in SDHB have been associated with Cowden Syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 200 000 and Paragangliomas, an autosomal dominant condition with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 1 000 000. The observed allele frequency is therefore higher than would be expected for the disorder. Three in silico splicing programs (SpliceSiteFinder-like, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE) predict a greater than 10% change in splicing which would lead to the creation of a new 3' splice site, however MutationTaster predicts that this variant is a polymorphism. This information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. References: Pantaleo, Maria A., et al.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineFeb 13, 2017Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: This variant has been classified in HGMD as DM. It has been seen in 2 patients with pheochromocytomas and one with GIST. It is present with a MaxMAF of 0.89% in ExAC (high for disease frequency - 0.8/100,000 person-years). It is classified in ClinVar with 1 star as benign/likely benign by Invitae, GeneDx, Prevention genetics and as likely path by LabCorp (in 2011). -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 22, 2017Variant summary: The SDHB c.423+20T>A variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing and 4/5 splice prediction tools predict changes of a cryptic splicing site. ESEfinder predicts changes of RNA splicing enhancer sites. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 374/121320 control chromosomes (4 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.0030828, which is approximately 3523 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic SDHB variant (0.0000009), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. This variant has been reported in the affected individuals without strong evidence for causality. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign/likely benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 06, 2015The c.423+20T>A intronic variant results from a T to A substitution 20 nucleotides after coding exon 4 in the SDHB gene. In one study, this alteration was reported in 2 apparently unrelated individuals with an adrenal pheochromocytoma diagnosed prior to age 50 (Srirangalingam U et al. Clin Endocrinol. 2008 Oct;69(4):587-96). Neither of these probands had an identifiable VHL mutation; however, other susceptibility genes were not assessed. Authors classified c.423+20T>A as a mutation, but cautioned that further studies were needed to confirm pathogenicity. This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs190139590. Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the A-allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.22% (28/13006), having been observed in 0.02% (1/4406) of African American alleles, and in 0.31% (27/8600) of European American alleles studied. Based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, the A-allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.05% (1/2184). The highest observed frequency was 1 of 178 (0.56%) British chromosomes studied. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.03% (greater than 6100 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. Based on nucleotide sequence alignment, this position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to create a cryptic splice acceptor site in close proximity to the native donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence for this variant is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of c.423+20T>A remains unclear. -
