Genes affected

SDHC (HGNC:10682): (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit C) This gene encodes one of four nuclear-encoded subunits that comprise succinate dehydrogenase, also known as mitochondrial complex II, a key enzyme complex of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and aerobic respiratory chains of mitochondria. The encoded protein is one of two integral membrane proteins that anchor other subunits of the complex, which form the catalytic core, to the inner mitochondrial membrane. There are several related pseudogenes for this gene on different chromosomes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with paragangliomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a topological_domain Mitochondrial matrix (size 32) in uniprot entity C560_HUMAN there are 9 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (90%) in NM_003001.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-161328466-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 135194.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.989

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with an SDHC-related disease. In summary, this variant is a rare missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. While it is absent from the population and affects an amino acid residue important for protein function, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine its role in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). A different missense substitution at this codon (p.Arg50Cys) has been determined to be likely pathogenic (PMID: 23175444, 27279923, 24102379, 19351833, 23666964, Invitae database). This suggests that the arginine residue is critical for SDHC protein function and that other missense substitutions at this position may also be pathogenic. This sequence change replaces arginine with leucine at codon 50 of the SDHC protein (p.Arg50Leu). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and leucine. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R50L variant (also known as c.149G>T), located in coding exon 3 of the SDHC gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 149. The arginine at codon 50 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
