Genes affected
SDHD (HGNC:10683): (succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D) This gene encodes a member of complex II of the respiratory chain, which is responsible for the oxidation of succinate. The encoded protein is one of two integral membrane proteins anchoring the complex to the matrix side of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with the formation of tumors, including hereditary paraganglioma. Transmission of disease occurs almost exclusively through the paternal allele, suggesting that this locus may be maternally imprinted. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 7, and 18. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 18 of the SDHD protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with head and neck paraganglioma and pituitary adenoma (PMID: 25695889, 32035780). This variant has been identified in 21/282830 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The SDHD c.53C>T (p.Ala18Val) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.013% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-111958581-C-T?dataset=gnomad_r2_1). In silico tools are not in agreement about the effect of this variant on protein function, but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. In addition, algorithms that predict the impact of sequence changes on splicing indicate that this variant does not affect splicing. This variant has been reported in an individual with an ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma, mild neurocognitive defects, and anxiety (PMID: 25695889, 30273935). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: no evidence criteria applied. -

This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 18 of the SDHD protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with head and neck paraganglioma and pituitary adenoma (PMID: 25695889, 32035780). This variant has been identified in 21/282830 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.A18V variant (also known as c.53C>T) is located in coding exon 2 of the SDHD gene. The alanine at codon 18 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This change occurs in the first base pair of coding exon 2. This alteration has been reported in individuals with pituitary adenomas, at least one of which demonstrated loss of SDHB by IHC analysis (Xekoui et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2015 May;100(5): E710-9; Hern&aacute;ndez-Ram&iacute;rez LC et al. Genet Med, 2022 Dec;24:2516-2525). This variant was also identified in a patient diagnosed with a carotid body tumor at age 48 (Sen I et al. J Vasc Surg, 2020 May;71:1602-1612.e2). However, this variant has been detected in multiple individuals with no reported features of SDHD-associated disease (Rana HQ et al. Cancers (Basel), 2024 Feb;16; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 18 of the SDHD protein (p.Ala18Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs192332761, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a pituitary adenoma (PMID: 25695889). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 302481). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SDHD protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The SDHD c.53C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala18Val. This variant was observed in an individual with an ACTH-producing pituitary adenoma; although no further evidence was provided to determine its pathogenicity (Xekouki et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25695889). This variant is reported in 0.013% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, it is reported as likely benign, and uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/302481/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
