Genes affected
SDHAF2 (HGNC:26034): (succinate dehydrogenase complex assembly factor 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial assembly factor needed for the flavination of a succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit (SDHA), which is required for activity of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with paraganglioma. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Founder pathogenic variant in the Dutch population (Hensen 2012); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: variant results in a destabilized SDHAF2 protein and impairs SDHAF2-SDHA interaction (Hao 2009, Bezawork-Gelata 2014); Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20972721, 19628817, 6286462, 28099933, 30050099, 24414418, 27587393, 22904323, 26627475, 23062074, 20071235, 21348866, 21224366, 25720320, 20938758, 23154507, 21082267, 21547462, 28384794, 20304625, 24739310, 31212687) -

The p.G78R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.232G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the SDHAF2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 232. The glycine at codon 78 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This mutation is considered a Dutch founder mutation and has been identified in multiple families with hereditary head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGL) (Hensen, EF et al. Clin Genet. 2012 Mar;81(3):284-8; Hao, HX et al. Science. 2009 Aug 28;325(5944):1139-42; Hoekstra AS et al. Oncotarget, 2017 Feb;8:14525-14536). In addition, this mutation co-segregated with disease in a Spanish family with HNPGL (Bayley, JP et al. Lancet Oncol. 2010 Apr;11(4):366-72) and was also observed in an apparently sporadic case of HNPGL in a patient with a right tympanic PGL (Piccini, V et al. Endocr Relat Cancer. 2012 Apr 10;19(2):149-55). Functional studies suggest that this mutation leads to a significant loss of flavination of SDHA, loss of activity of the succinate dehydrogenase complex, and reduced stability of SDHAF2 (Hao, HX et al. Science. 2009 Aug 28;325(5944):1139-42; Bezawork-Geleta A et al. FASEB J., 2014 Apr;28:1794-804). 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. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 78 of the SDHAF2 protein (p.Gly78Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with paraganglioma (PMID: 20071235, 22241717, 28099933). It is commonly reported in individuals of Dutch ancestry (PMID: 6264239, 6286462, 19628817, 21224366, 21348866). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 401). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SDHAF2 function (PMID: 19628817, 24414418). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
