Genes affected

SDHA (HGNC:10680): (succinate dehydrogenase complex flavoprotein subunit A) This gene encodes a major catalytic subunit of succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase, a complex of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The complex is composed of four nuclear-encoded subunits and is localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency known as Leigh Syndrome. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 3q29. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]

This frameshift variant alters the translational reading frame of the SDHA mRNA and causes the premature termination of SDHA protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00017 (6/35438 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual with paragangliomas (PMID: 29177515 (2018)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.667delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 6 of the SDHA gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 667, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D223Ifs*3). This variant has been reported in a Dutch patient diagnosed with bilateral glomus vagal tumors and a glomus carotid body tumor at age 49 (van der Tuin K et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2018 02;103:438-445). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp223Ilefs*3) in the SDHA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SDHA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22974104, 24781757). This variant is present in population databases (rs779126007, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a carotid body tumor and bilateral glomus vagal tumors (PMID: 29177515). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141876). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: SDHA c.667delG (p.Asp223IlefsX3) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251164 control chromosomes. c.667delG has been observed in at least one individual affected with glomus vagal tumors and glomus carotid body tumor (e.g. vanderTuin_2018). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29177515). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141876). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The SDHA c.667delG variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Asp223Ilefs*3). This variant was reported in an individual with a carotid body tumor and bilateral glomus vagal tumors (van der Tuin K et al 2018. PubMed ID: 29177515). This variant is reported in 0.017% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and has been interpreted as pathogenic and likely pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141876/). Frameshift variants in SDHA are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
