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]

The p.Arg90X variant in SDHB has previously been identified in at least 12 individuals with SDHB-associated tumors and segregated with disease in 9 affected family members from at least 5 families (Amar 2005, Zu 2011, Srirangalingam 2008, Benn 2006, Hensen 2012, Elston 2017, Gill 2011, Lee 2014, Crona 2014, Burnichon 2009, Benn 2003). It has also been identified in 2/113664 of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 12778). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 90, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Functional studies support an impact on protein function (Kim 2015, Elston 2017). Heterozygous loss of function of the SDHB gene is an established disease mechanism in patients with hereditary paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant hereditary paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma.

Variant summary: SDHB c.268C>T (p.Arg90X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251336 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.268C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome (e.g. Astuti_2001, Benn_2006, Andrews_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence demonstrated the variant has no protein activity (Kim_2015). Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg90*) in the SDHB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SDHB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19454582, 19802898). This variant is present in population databases (rs74315366, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma and renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 11404820, 12618761, 16314641, 16317055, 18419787, 19454582, 21348866, 21934479, 23083876, 24466223, 25326637). This variant is also known as R91X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12778). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R90* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.268C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the SDHB gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 268. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This pathogenic mutation has been reported in multiple unrelated families exhibiting pheochromocytomas and/or paragangliomas (Astuti D et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2001 Jul;69(1):49-54; Benn DE et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2006 Mar;91:827-36; Ricketts CJ et al. J Urol. 2012 Dec;188(6):2063-71; Crona J et al. PLoS One. 2014 Jan;9(1):e86756; Jochmanova I et al. J. Cancer Res. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Aug;143(8):1421-1435; Albattal S et al. Oncotarget. 2019 Oct 15;10(57):5919-5931). This mutation has also been identified in a woman with a renal tumor and family history of paragangliomas, where the renal tumor demonstrated negative SDHB staining by immunohistochemistry (Gill AJ et al. Am. J. Surg. Pathol. 2011 Oct;35:1578-85). It was recently seen in a patient with a duodenal GIST who also had a family history of paragangliomas. IHC analysis of the GIST showed negative SDHB staining, and the tumor was positive for the p.R90* mutation (Elston MS et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2017 May;102(5):1447-1450). In vitro data showed complete loss of SDHB expression in cytosolic and mitochondrial compartments as well as no measurable SDH activity in cells transfected with this truncating mutation (Kim E et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer 2015 Jun;22:387-97). Of note, this mutation is referred to as p.R91X in the Astuti (2001) paper. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
