Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points: 20P and 0B. PS3 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_017841.4(SDHAF2):​c.232G>A​(p.Gly78Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000216728: Functional studies suggest that this mutation leads to a significant loss of flavination of SDHA, loss of activity of the succinate dehydrogenase complex, and reduced stability of SDHAF2 (Hao, HX et al. Science. 2009 Aug 28" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G78E) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

SDHAF2 (HGNC:26034): (succinate dehydrogenase complex assembly factor 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial assembly factor needed for the flavination of a succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit (SDHA), which is required for activity of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with paraganglioma. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points.

• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000216728: Functional studies suggest that this mutation leads to a significant loss of flavination of SDHA, loss of activity of the succinate dehydrogenase complex, and reduced stability of SDHAF2 (Hao, HX et al. Science. 2009 Aug 28;325(5944):1139-42; Bezawork-Geleta A et al. FASEB J., 2014 Apr;28:1794-804).; SCV000617571: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: variant results in a destabilized SDHAF2 protein and impairs SDHAF2-SDHA interaction (Hao 2009, Bezawork-Gelata 2014); SCV000760911: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SDHAF2 function (PMID: 19628817, 24414418).
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-61437821-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 821122.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992
• PP5: Variant 11-61437820-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-61437820-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 401.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
