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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 217 of the SDHB protein (p.Arg217Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with paraganglioma and/or pheochromocytoma (PMID: 34906457; external communication, internal data). 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 SDHB protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg217 amino acid residue in SDHB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18753105, 19351833, 19454582, 19802898, 23735539, 24659481, 25047027, 26960314). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The p.R217S variant (also known as c.649C>A), located in coding exon 7 of the SDHB gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 649. The arginine at codon 217 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been observed in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with SDHB-related paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma syndrome (Buffet A et al. Horm. Metab. Res. 2012 May;44:359-66; Ambry internal data). Three different alterations at the same position (p.R217C, p.R217G, and p.R217L) have also been reported in multiple individuals with paragangliomas (Neumann HP et al. Cancer Res. 2009 Apr;69:3650-6; van Nederveen FH et al. Lancet Oncol. 2009 Aug;10:764-71; Michaowska I et al. Neuroendocrinology. 2015 Mar;101:321-30). In a functional study, the R217L mutant severely lacked normal succinate dehydrogenase activity (Panizza E et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2013 Feb;22:804-15), suggesting that R217S has similar functional deficiency. 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 supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
