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]

This pathogenic variant is denoted SDHB c.574T>C at the cDNA level, p.Cys192Arg (C192R) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Cysteine to an Arginine (TGT>CGT). This variant has been reported in numerous individuals with parangangliomas or pheochromocytomas, many of which were metastatic (Neumann 2002, Timmers 2007, Burnichon 2009, Hensen 2012, Lefebvre 2012, Michalowska 2015, Sue 2015). SDHB Cys192Arg was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Cysteine and Arginine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. SDHB Cys192Arg occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the 4Fe-4S ferredoxin-type domain (Uniprot). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 192 of the SDHB protein (p.Cys192Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with paragangliomas and/or pheochromocytomas many of them were classified as malignant (PMID: 12000816, 17200167, 18382370, 22517554, 25371406, 27785149). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186150). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SDHB protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SDHB function (PMID: 22835832). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.C192R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.574T>C), located in coding exon 6 of the SDHB gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 574. The cysteine at codon 192 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties.This alteration has been identified in numerous individuals with paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas (Neumann HP et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2002 May;346(19):1459-66; Lefebvre S et al. Horm. Metab. Res. 2012 May;44(5):334-8; Burnichon N et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2009 Aug;94(8):2817-27; Klein RD et al. Diagn. Mol. Pathol. 2008 Jun;17(2):94-100; Timmers HJ et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2007 Mar; 92(3):779-86; Michaowska I et al. Kardiochir Torakochirurgia Pol, 2016 Sep;13:276-282). In one series of functional studies, the SDHB p.C192R mutant protein was subject to premature degradation, possibly due to the increased ubiquitination levels observed in the mutant protein compared to wild type SDHB protein (Yang C et al. FASEB J. 2012 Nov;26(11):4506-16). The Cys192 residue plays a vital role coordinating the Fe4S4 cluster and it is believed that alterations at this location would prevent assembly of Complex II (Iverson TM et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2012 Oct;287(42):35430-8). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
