Genes affected
SUCLA2 (HGNC:11448): (succinate-CoA ligase ADP-forming subunit beta) Succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that acts as a heterodimer, being composed of an invariant alpha subunit and a substrate-specific beta subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is an ATP-specific SCS beta subunit that dimerizes with the SCS alpha subunit to form SCS-A, an essential component of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. SCS-A hydrolyzes ATP to convert succinate to succinyl-CoA. Defects in this gene are a cause of myopathic mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome. A pseudogene of this gene has been found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, encephalomyopathic form with methylmalonic aciduria Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingEquipe Genetique des Anomalies du Developpement, Université de BourgogneJan 24, 2023- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 03, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 284 of the SUCLA2 protein (p.Arg284Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908538, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (PMID: 17301081, 28749033, 30315573, 32718099). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5978). 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 SUCLA2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Studies have shown that this missense change alters SUCLA2 gene expression (PMID: 17301081). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
