SDHAF2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 29, 2024The SDHAF2 c.355dupT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Tyr119Leufs*8). This variant has been reported in patients with paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma tumors (Table S1 in Evenepoel L et al 2014. PubMed ID: 25394176; reported as c.357_358insT Piccini et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22241717). This variant occurs in the 2nd to last exon and may not result in non-sense mediated decay. This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in SDHAF2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 13, 2024The c.355dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the SDHAF2 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 355, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Y119Lfs*8). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theSDHAF2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 48 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This variant (reported as c.357_358insT in one study) has been detected in two unrelated individuals with a paraganglioma (Piccini V et al. Endocr Relat Cancer, 2012 Apr;19:149-55; Evenepoel L et al. Genet Med, 2015 Aug;17:610-20). Based on internal structural analysis, this mutation removes a large portion of the SDHAF2-SDHA interface and is likely to disrupt protein function and stability (Hao HX et al. Science, 2009 Aug;325:1139-42; Eletsky A et al. Biochemistry, 2012 Oct;51:8475-7; Sharma P et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Sep;117:23548-23556). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 20, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr119Leufs*8) in the SDHAF2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 48 amino acid(s) of the SDHAF2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a right carotid body paranglioma (PMID: 22241717). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 403423). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
