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 asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 248 of the SDHB protein (p.Asn248Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with paraganglioma (PMID: 18551016, 34906457; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428929). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SDHB protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.N248K variant (also known as c.744C>G), located in coding exon 7 of the SDHB gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 744. The asparagine at codon 248 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been previously described in multiple individuals diagnosed with paragangliomas and/or pheochromocytomas (Persu A et al. J. Hypertens., 2008 Jul;26:1395-401; Fishbein L et al. Ann Surg Oncol, 2013 May;20:1444-50; Papathomas TG et al. Mod. Pathol., 2015 Jun;28:807-21). Based on internal structural assessment, this variant introduces a positive charge near the quinone-reducing active site and affects the final electron transfer reaction (Sun F et al. Cell, 2005 Jul;121:1043-57; Liu J et al. Chem. Rev., 2014 Apr;114:4366-469). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
