Genes affected

SDHB (HGNC:10681): (succinate dehydrogenase complex iron sulfur subunit B) This tumor suppressor gene encodes the iron-sulfur protein subunit of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme complex which plays a critical role in mitochondria. The SDH enzyme complex is composed of four nuclear-encoded subunits. This enzyme complex converts succinate to fumarate which releases electrons as part of the citric acid cycle, and the enzyme complex additionally provides an attachment site for released electrons to be transferred to the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. The SDH enzyme complex plays a role in oxygen-related gene regulation through its conversion of succinate, which is an oxygen sensor that stabilizes the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) transcription factor. Sporadic and familial mutations in this gene result in paragangliomas, pheochromocytoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, supporting a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and tumorigenesis. Mutations in this gene are also implicated in nuclear type 4 mitochondrial complex II deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0142 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

This sequence change results in a frameshift in the SDHB gene (p.Ala278Leufs*13). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 3 amino acid(s) of the SDHB protein and extend the protein by 9 additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SDHB-related conditions. 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. -

The c.831delA variant, located in coding exon 8 of the SDHB gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 831, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A278Lfs*13). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theSDHB gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay and results in the elongation of the protein by 9 amino acids. This frameshift impacts the last 3amino acids of the native protein. The exact functional effect of the altered amino acids is unknown. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
