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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 03, 2024The c.371-2A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 4 in the SDHAF2 gene. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the SDHAF2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 43 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal history that is consistent with SDHAF2-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 acceptor 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. -
Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 16, 2024This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 3 of the SDHAF2 gene. While this variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs375280597, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SDHAF2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411604). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (Invitae). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
