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]

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.136C>T (p.Arg46*) variant in the SDHB gene is located on the exon 2 and introduces a premature translation termination codon, resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals with paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma/renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 33362715, 35127314, 36597280, 29623478, 21348866, 18728283, 16405730). The alternative frameshift and stop-gain variants located in the same exon (p.Pro56fs, p.Gln30fs) have been reported in individuals with paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma and reviewed as pathogenic (ClinVar ID: 185342, 186518). Loss-of-function variants of SDHB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16258955, 19389109, 28490599). The variant is reported in ClinVar (ID: 142763). The variant is rare in general population according to gnomAD (5/282738). Therefore, the c.136C>T (p.Arg46*) variant in the SDHB gene has been classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 2 of the SDHB gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PMID: 19075037, 19454582, 21348866, 21909610, 23797725, 27539324, 28944243, 30122763). This variant has been identified in 5/282738 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of SDHB function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg46X variant in SDHB has been reported in 11 individuals with SDHB-associated tumors and segregated with disease in 5 affected individuals from 3 families (Ricketts 2008 PMID:18728283, Srirangalingam 2008 PMID:18419787, Ghayee 2009 PMID:19075037, Hensen 2012 PMID:21348866, Mason 2013 PMID:23797725, Pandit 2016 PMID:27539324, Richter 2019 PMID:30050099). It has also been identified in 0.014% (1/7218) of "Other" or 0.008% of Finnish (2/25082) chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 142763). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 46, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the SDHB gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant hereditary paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma.

The SDHB c.136C>T (p.Arg46*) variant causes the premature termination of SDHB protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in multiple individuals affected with paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma (PGL/PCC) (PMID: 12618761 (2003), 16317055 (2006), 16405730 (2006), 16912137 (2006), 18419787 (2008), 19454582 (2009), 21348866 (2012), 21909610 (2011), 23797725 (2013), 28944243 (2017), 33362715 (2020)), and renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 18728283 (2008)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000018 (5/282738 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

This 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. -

The 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; Bayley JP et al. BMC Med. Genet. 2006 Jan;7:1; 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; 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. -
