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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in an unaffected individual (PMID: 22703879 (2012)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000091 (3/33120 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Additional analysis using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on SDHAF2 mRNA splicing yielded predictions that this variant may result in the gain of a cryptic splice site without affecting the natural splice sites . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R18G variant (also known as c.52A>G), located in coding exon 2 of the SDHAF2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 52. The arginine at codon 18 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 18 of the SDHAF2 protein (p.Arg18Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs200911550, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SDHAF2-related conditions (PMID: 32830346). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41836). 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 tolerated. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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.
