Genes affected

SDHAF2 (HGNC:26034): (succinate dehydrogenase complex assembly factor 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial assembly factor needed for the flavination of a succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit (SDHA), which is required for activity of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with paraganglioma. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

CPSF7 (HGNC:30098): (cleavage and polyadenylation specific factor 7) Cleavage factor Im (CFIm) is one of six factors necessary for correct cleavage and polyadenylation of pre-mRNAs. CFIm is composed of three different subunits of 25, 59, and 68 kDa, and it functions as a heterotetramer, with a dimer of the 25 kDa subunit binding to two of the 59 or 68 kDa subunits. The protein encoded by this gene represents the 59 kDa subunit, which can interact with the splicing factor U2 snRNP Auxiliary Factor (U2AF) 65 to link the splicing and polyadenylation complexes.

The c.-5G>A variant is located in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) of the SDHAF2 gene. This variant results from a G to A substitution 5 bases upstream from the first translated codon. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
