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 sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 553 of the SDHA protein (p.Asp553Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs769882609, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with epitheloid sarcoma (PMID: 28878254). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239654). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on SDHA protein function. 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.D553N variant (also known as c.1657G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the SDHA gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1657. The aspartic acid at codon 553 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In a study of Asian patients with sporadic sarcomas, this alteration was detected in one patient diagnosed with an epitheloid sarcoma at age 24 (Chan SH et al. Sci Rep, 2017 Sep;7:10660). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
