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]

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with valine at codon 48 of the SDHB protein (p.Asp48Val). The aspartic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and valine. This variant is present in population databases (rs202101384, ExAC 0.04%). This variant has been observed as homozygous or in combination with other SDHB variant in individuals affected with autosomal recessive mitochondrial complex II deficiency (PMID: 22972948, 27556822, 29282712, 26642834, 27159321, 26968897, 27604842, 23174333, 29019354, 34426522, 31589614, 33726816, 26925370). However, this variant has not been observed in individuals with pheochromocytoma (PCC) or paraganglioma (PGL). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39584). In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function also an experimental study shown the affected protein function . In summary, this variant has been observed in individuals with mitochondrial complex II deficiency and has been shown to affect protein function. The currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 48 of the SDHB protein (p.Asp48Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs202101384, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive mitochondrial complex II deficiency (PMID: 22972948, 26642834, 26925370, 27604842). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39584). 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 SDHB protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SDHB function (PMID: 22972948). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.D48V variant (also known as c.143A>T), located in coding exon 2 of the SDHB gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 143. The aspartic acid at codon 48 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been detected in both the homozygous and compound heterozygous states with a second SDHB variant in multiple individuals with features of mitochondrial complex II deficiency (Alston CL et al. J. Med. Genet., 2012 Sep;49:569-77; Ardissone A et al. Mol Genet Metab Rep, 2015 Dec;5:51-54; Helman G et al. Ann. Neurol., 2016 Mar;79:379-86; Vanderver A et al. Ann Neurol, 2016 06;79:1031-1037; Gr&oslash;nborg S et al. JIMD Rep, 2017 Sep;33:69-77). Functional studies showed reduced SDHB and complex II in tissues and cells from affected individuals (Alston CL et al. J. Med. Genet., 2012 Sep;49:569-77; Ardissone A et al. Mol Genet Metab Rep, 2015 Dec;5:51-54; Gr&oslash;nborg S et al. JIMD Rep, 2017 Sep;33:69-77). To our knowledge, this variant has not been detected in individuals with a paraganglioma or pheochromocytoma. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is expected to be causative of autosomal recessive mitochondrial complex II deficiency when present along with a second likely pathogenic/pathogenic variant on the other allele; however, its clinical significance for autosomal dominant paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma syndrome is unclear. -
