Genes affected

SDHD (HGNC:10683): (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D) This gene encodes a member of complex II of the respiratory chain, which is responsible for the oxidation of succinate. The encoded protein is one of two integral membrane proteins anchoring the complex to the matrix side of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with the formation of tumors, including hereditary paraganglioma. Transmission of disease occurs almost exclusively through the paternal allele, suggesting that this locus may be maternally imprinted. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 7, and 18. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]

The c.270G>C variant (also known as p.A90A) is located in coding exon 3 of the SDHD gene. This variant results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 270. This nucleotide substitution does not change the alanine at codon 90. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis for this alteration is inconclusive. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in an incomplete splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
