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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingHuman Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of MedicineJan 14, 2018The c.688C>T (p.Arg230Cys) variant in the SDHB gene has been reported in several unrelated individuals with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PMID: 14500403, 24939699, 20208144, and 28374168). Functional assays have demonstrated that this missense change results in an unstable protein, and in the tumor of an individual with this variant complete and selective loss of mitochondrial complex II enzyme activity was observed (PMID: 22835832, 14500403). Additionally, two other pathogenic/likely pathogenic missense substitutions at this codon have been reported (PMID: 22835832, 23934599, 18382370, and 19351833,) suggesting that the Arg230 residue is critical for normal functioning of the SDHB protein. In light of the currently available data this variant in the SDHB gene is classified pathogenic. -

This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 14500403, 33362715, 28374168, 34906457].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthAug 08, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 230 of the SDHB protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant may impact protein stability and increase SDHB ubiquitination (PMID: 14500403, 22835832, 35673401). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (PMID: 16103922, 17652212, 19351833, 19454582, 20208144, 22517554, 25873086, 29386252, 30536464, 34906457, 33420946, 35673401, 35904169). Other amino acid changes at this codon are considered disease causing (R230L, R230H, R230G; ClinVar Variant IDs: 184933, 142637, 1755980). This variant has been identified in 2/251398 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pheochromocytoma;C0238198:Gastrointestinal stromal tumor;C1861848:Paragangliomas 4 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 01, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 230 of the SDHB protein (p.Arg230Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs138996609, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with malignant or non-malignant pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PMID: 14500403, 17652212, 19454582, 20208144, 22517554, 25873086). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185077). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SDHB function (PMID: 22835832). This variant disrupts the p.Arg230 amino acid residue in SDHB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18382370, 19351833, 23934599; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 05, 2017This pathogenic variant is denoted SDHB c.688C>T at the cDNA level, p.Arg230Cys (R230C) at theprotein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Cysteine (CGC>TGC). This variant was observed in severalindividuals with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (Gimenez-Roqueplo 2003, Lefebvre 2012, Hermsen 2010,Janssen, Jochmanova 2017). In addition, functional assays have demonstrated this variant to result in an unstableprotein, and in the tumor of an individual harboring this variant, complete and selective loss of mitochondrial complex IIenzyme activity was observed (Yang 2012, Gimenez-Roqueplo 2003). SDHB Arg230Cys was not observed at asignificant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Arginine and Cysteine differ in polarity,charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. SDHB Arg230Cysoccurs at a position that is conserved across species and is not located in a known functional domain. In silicoanalyses predict that this pathogenic variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currentlyavailable evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 22, 2022The p.R230C pathogenic mutation (also known as c.688C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the SDHB gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 688. The arginine at codon 230 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This pathogenic variant has been reported in numerous individuals diagnosed with pheochromocytomas and/or paragangliomas (Gimenez-Roqueplo AP et al. Cancer Res. 2003 Sep 1;63(17):5615-21; Dahia PL et al. PLoS Genet. 2005 Jul;1(1):72-80; Neumann HP et al. Cancer Res. 2009 Apr 15;69(8):3650-6; Sevilla MA et al. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2009 May;140(5):724-9; Burnichon N et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2009 Aug;94(8):2817-27; Yang C et al. FASEB J. 2012 Nov;26(11):4506-16; Andrews KA et al. J. Med. Genet. 2018 Jun;55:384-394). Additionally, two disease-causing variants, p.R230H and p.R230L, have been described in the same codon. 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. -
