Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Pathogenic:4
Variant summary: SDHC c.148C>T (p.Arg50Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251468 control chromosomes. c.148C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome (Benn_2018, Bennedbaek_2016, Mclnerney-Leo_2014, Neumann_2009, Rattenberry_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The variant was shown to affect protein function (Panizza_2012). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30201732, 27279923, 24102379, 19351833, 23175444, 23666964). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 135194). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 50 of the SDHC 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 in yeast have shown that this variant displays reduced succincate dehydrogenase activity and increased mtDNA mutability (PMID: 23175444). This variant has been reported in numerous individuals affected with paraganglioma and/pr pheochromocytoma (PMID: 19351833, 23666964, 24102379, 27279923, 29386252, 31308404, 32688340). 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 Likely Pathogenic. -
The p.Arg50Cys variant in SDHC has been reported in 4 individuals with hereditar y paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma syndrome (Neuman 2009, Rattenberry 2013, McIner ney-Leo 2014, Bennedbaek 2016), and segregated with the disease in 1 affected re lative (Bennedbaek 2016). It has also been reported by other clinical laboratori es in ClinVar (Variation ID 135194). The variant was absent from large populatio n studies, though it was identified in a reportedly healthy individual (<50yrs; Bodian 2014). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg50 Cys variant may impact protein function in yeast (Panizza 2013) and computationa l prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Arg50Cys variant may impact the protein. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Arg50Cys variant is likely pat hogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied (Richards 2015): PM2; PS4_Moderate; PP3; PS3_ Supporting. -
Paragangliomas 3 Pathogenic:3
This c.148C>T (p.Arg50Cys) variant in the SDHC gene has been reported in multiple unrelated patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PMID: 19351833, 23666964, 24102379, 24728327, 27279923, 29386252, 31308404, 32688340) and segregated with the disease (PMID: 27279923). In addition, this variant was also identified in individuals with acute promyelocytic leukemia (PMID: 33332384). This variant is absent in the general population database. In vitro studies in the yeast showed that this variant significantly decreased succinate dehydrogenase activity (PMID: 23175444). Therefore, this c.148C>T (p.Arg50Cys) variant in the SDHC gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor;C1854336:Paragangliomas 3 Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 50 of the SDHC protein (p.Arg50Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with pheochromocytoma or head and neck paranglioma (PMID: 19351833, 23666964, 24102379). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 135194). 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) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SDHC protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SDHC function (PMID: 23175444). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The p.R50C variant (also known as c.148C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the SDHC gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 148. The arginine at codon 50 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been detected in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with SDHC-related disease (Neumann HP et al. Cancer Res. 2009 Apr 15;69:3650-6; Rattenberry E et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2013 Jul;98:E1248-56; McInerney-Leo AM et al. Clin. Endocrinol. (Oxf) 2014 Jan;80:25-33; Bennedbaek M et al. Hered. Cancer Clin. Pract. 2016 Jun;14:13; Andrews KA et al. J. Med. Genet., 2018 Jun;55:384-394; Casey RT et al. Sci Rep, 2019 07;9:10244; Main AM et al. Endocr Connect, 2020 Aug;9:793-803; Sen I et al. J Vasc Surg, 2020 May;71:1602-1612.e2; Williams ST et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf), 2022 Apr;96:499-512). Additionally, this alteration was identified in a minor diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (Byrjalsen A et al. PLoS Genet, 2020 12;16:e1009231). In a yeast-based functional study, this alteration resulted in a significant reduction of SDH enzyme activity (Panizza E et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2013 Feb;22:804-15). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
