Genes affected
SDHC (HGNC:10682): (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit C) This gene encodes one of four nuclear-encoded subunits that comprise succinate dehydrogenase, also known as mitochondrial complex II, a key enzyme complex of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and aerobic respiratory chains of mitochondria. The encoded protein is one of two integral membrane proteins that anchor other subunits of the complex, which form the catalytic core, to the inner mitochondrial membrane. There are several related pseudogenes for this gene on different chromosomes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with paragangliomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.P54T variant (also known as c.160C>A), located in coding exon 3 of the SDHC gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 160. The proline at codon 54 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma (Ambry internal data; external communication). Based on internal structural analysis, this alteration destabilizes the SDHC-SDHB interface to a higher degree than a nearby pathogenic variant (Zhou Q et al. Protein Cell, 2011 Jul;2:531-42; Inaoka DK et al. Int J Mol Sci, 2015 Jul;16:15287-308). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 54 of the SDHC protein (p.Pro54Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with gastrointestinal stromal tumors and/or paragangliomas (external communication, internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 465962). 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. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
