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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 09, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg46*) 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 (rs74315370, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, and renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 12618761, 16405730, 18728283, 21348866, 23797725). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142763). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 26, 2022The p.R46* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.136C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the SDHB gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 136. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. This mutation has been reported multiple times as a disease-causing mutation in patients with PGL-PCC or renal cell carcinoma (Benn DE et al. Oncogene. 2003 Mar;22:1358-64; Benn DE et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2006 Mar;91:827-36; Brouwers FM et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2006 Nov;91:4505-9; Srirangalingam U et al. Clin. Endocrinol. 2008 Oct;69:587-96; Ricketts C et al. J. Natl.

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. -
