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]

Aug 04, 2023

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SDHB protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 183795). This missense change has been observed in individuals with paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma syndrome (PMID: 17652212, 19454582, 19763184, 26960314). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 253 of the SDHB protein (p.Cys253Tyr). -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 253 of the SDHB protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant abolished both the succinate co-Q oxidoreductase (SQR) activity and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity of mitochondrial complex II, and impaired SDHB association with SDHA and the formation of the full SDH complex (CII; PMID: 26719882). This variant has been reported in numerous individuals affected with paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma in the literature (PMID: 16314641, 17652212, 19454582, 19763184, 22517557,26960314, 34439371). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.C253Y variant (also known as c.758G>A) is located in coding exon 7 of the SDHB gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 758. The cysteine at codon 253 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Multiple studies have identified this alteration in patients with pheochromocytomas and/or paragangliomas, often with apparently sporadic presentation (Amar L et al. J. Clin Oncol 2005 Dec 1;23(34):8812-8, Amar L et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2007 Oct; 92(10):3822-8, Favier J et al. PLoS ONE 2009;4(9):e7094, Burnichon N et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2009 Aug; 94(8):2817-27; Patócs A et al. Pathol. Oncol. Res. 2016 Oct;22(4):673-9). Based on protein sequence alignment, this amino acid position is highly conserved and located in a highly conserved region of the protein. The Cys253 residue plays a vital role coordinating the Fe4S4 cluster, and it is believed that alterations at this location would prevent assembly of Complex II (Iverson TM et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2012 Oct; 287(42):35430-8). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be probably damaging and deleterious by PolyPhen and SIFT in silico analyses, respectively. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
