Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_017841.4(SDHAF2):​c.177dupT​(p.Asp60fs) variant causes a frameshift, stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. D60D) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

SDHAF2 (HGNC:26034): (succinate dehydrogenase complex assembly factor 2) This gene encodes a mitochondrial assembly factor needed for the flavination of a succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit (SDHA), which is required for activity of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with paraganglioma. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in SDHAF2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22241717, 26096992). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SDHAF2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 532513). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp60*) in the SDHAF2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
