Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The NM_003000.3(SDHB):​c.725G>T​(p.Arg242Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R242C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Succinate dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur subunit, mitochondrial (size 251) in uniprot entity SDHB_HUMAN there are 96 pathogenic changes around while only 7 benign (93%) in NM_003000.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-17022649-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.985

The p.R242L variant (also known as c.725G>T), located in coding exon 7 of the SDHB gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 725. The arginine at codon 242 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. Based on internal structural analysis, R242L disrupts a conserved LYR motif responsible for iron cluster recruitment, which is also disrupted by other internally pathogenic variants (Zhou Q et al. Protein Cell, 2011 Jul;2:531-42; Maio N et al. Cell Metab, 2014 Mar;19:445-57; Saxena N et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2016 Jan;108; Maio N et al. Cell Metab, 2016 Feb;23:292-302). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
