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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu491*) in the SDHA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SDHA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22974104, 24781757). This variant is present in population databases (rs778207102, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SDHA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472289). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E491* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1471G>T), located in coding exon 11 of the SDHA gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1471. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 11. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: SDHA c.1471G>T (p.Glu491X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249978 control chromosomes. c.1471G>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with paraganglioma (example: Ding_2022). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35546442). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472289). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The SDHA c.1471G>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Glu491*). This variant has been reported in an individual with osteosarcoma (Table S5 in Mirabello et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32191290). This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in SDHA are expected to be pathogenic. This variant has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar, with the majority being pathogenic or likely pathogenic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/472289/). We interpret c.1471G>T (p.Glu491*) as pathogenic. -
