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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant creates a premature nonsense codon, and is therefore predicted to significantly disrupt the protein structure. Not found in the total gnomAD dataset, and the data is high quality. -

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 5 of the SDHC gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. An mRNA with this variant may escape non-sense mediated decay, but is expected result in a non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with SDHC-related disorders in the literature. A protein truncation carboxy-terminal to this variant is a French Canadian founder variant in SDHC (PMID: 27700540, ClinVar Variation ID: 183753). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of SDHC function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.W129* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.387G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the SDHC gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 387. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 5. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SDHC-related conditions. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp129*) in the SDHC gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 41 amino acid(s) of the SDHC protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428935). This variant disrupts a region of the SDHC protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg133*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23083876, 24423348, 24758179, 27700540). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
