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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant is located within the gene translation start codon (p.Met1?) and is predicted to result in abnormal protein translation. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 28384794, 35014173, 10746566, 32971818]. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the SDHA mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 114. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individuals with SDHA-related conditions (PMID: 10746566, 26722403, 28384794). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371794). This variant disrupts the N-terminal part of the SDHA protein, which is important for FAD binding (PMID: 25488574, 15989954, 21858060). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on SDHA protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.M1? pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1A>T) is located in coding exon 1 of the SDHA gene and results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1. This alters the methionine residue at the initiation codon (ATG). This alteration was reported in a 30 year old with an adrenal paraganglioma. In addition, two different alterations that also affect the initiation codon, c.1A>G and c.1A>C (p.M1?) have been reported in individuals with paraganglioma (Snezhkina AV et al. Int J Mol Sci 2020 Sep;21(18); Bausch B. et al. JAMA Oncol 2017 Sep;3(9):1204-1212). The c.1A>C alteration has also been reported in an individual with Leigh syndrome who also carried a functionally deleterious SDHA alteration in trans (Parfait B et al. Hum. Genet. 2000 Feb;106:236-43). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, sequence variations that modify the initiation codon are expected to result in either loss of translation initiation, N-terminal truncation, or cause a shift in the mRNA reading frame. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: SDHA c.1A>T (p.Met1Leu) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. The next in-frame Methionine is located at codon 114 in exon 4 of the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 114846 control chromosomes. c.1A>T has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (example: Bausch_2017). A different variant affecting this codon c.1A>C has been classified Pathogenic by our lab. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28384794). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371794). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
