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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 1-17044756-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-17044756-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 440259.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=2, Pathogenic=1, Likely_pathogenic=1}.

Invitae

May 15, 2022

This variant has been observed in individuals with SDHB-related disease (Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the SDHB gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SDHB protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 440259). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.200+5G>C intronic variant results from a G to C substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 2 in the SDHB gene. This alteration has been reported in a study of 1/214 patients diagnosed with head and neck paragangliomas (Sen I et al. J Vasc Surg, 2020 05;71:1602-1612.e2), and has also been observed internally in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with SDHB-related disease (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
