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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 125 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-17053998-AG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-17053998-AG-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 480807.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr1-17053998-AG-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.21delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the SDHB gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 21, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S8Pfs*2). In a study of 598 unrelated probands diagnosed with head and neck paraganglioma, this alteration was detected in 1 individuals (Neumann HP et al. Cancer Res. 2009 Apr;69:3650-6). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
