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]

Variant summary: SDHB c.79C>T (p.Arg27X) 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. Variants downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250516 control chromosomes. c.79C>T has been reported in the literature in related individuals affected with Cardiac Paraganglioma, Renal cancer and Lung cancer (Example: Vanharanta_2004). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 14685938). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified 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.Arg27*) 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 (rs74315369, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytoma (PMID: 12000816, 12362046, 14685938, 18382370, 19415531, 25215250). This variant is also known as C213T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12783). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R27* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.79C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the SDHB gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 79. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. The predicted stop codon occurs within the first 150 nucleotides of SDHB gene. This alteration may escape nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay and/or be rescued by re-initiation (Rivas et al. Science. 2015 May 8;348(6235):666-9; Lindeboom et al. Nat Genet. 2016 Oct;48(10):1112-8; Rhee et al. Sci Rep. 2017 May 10;7(1):1653), and it impacts the first 57 amino acids of the protein. However, the impacted region is critical for protein function, and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This mutation has previously been reported in multiple cases of both sporadic and familial PGL-PCC as well as renal cell carcinoma (Casc&oacute;n A et al. J. Med. Genet., 2002 Oct;39:E64; Vanharanta S et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2004 Jan;74:153-9; Neumann HP et al. JAMA, 2004 Aug;292:943-51; Naito M et al. Endocrine, 2009 Aug;36:10-5; Graham D et al. Case Rep Genet, 2014 Aug;2014:273423; Casey RT et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab., 2017 11;102:4013-4022; Fife K et al. BMJ Case Rep, 2017 Aug;2017; Benn DE et al. J. Med. Genet., 2018 11;55:729-734; Albattal S et al. Oncotarget, 2019 Oct;10:5919-5931). Functional studies of this alteration have demonstrated the absence of SDH enzymatic activity as well as the absence of SDHB protein in cell-based assays, indicating nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or protein degradation as a mechanism for absent enzymatic activity (Kim E et al. Endocr. Relat. Cancer, 2015 Jun;22:387-97). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
