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]

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 239 of the SDHB protein (p.Ser239Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs201098090, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytoma and with breast cancer (PMID: 22270996, 31780696). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161385). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SDHB protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -

The p.S239C variant (also known as c.716C>G), located in coding exon 7 of the SDHB gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 716. The serine at codon 239 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in a woman diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma at age 25 in a Western Swedish cohort of patients with apparently sporadic pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas (Muth A et al. World J Surg, 2012 Jun;36:1389-94). This alteration was also identified in a Puerto Rican individual diagnosed with breast cancer (Dutil J et al. Sci Rep, 2019 11;9:17769). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
