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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant (PVS1_VS). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2_M). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000230243, PMID:17943698). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The inherited c.640C>T (p.Gln214Ter) variant identified in the SDHB gene leads to the premature termination of the protein at amino acid 214/281 (coding exon 6/8) and is predicted to undergo nonsense mediated decay. This variant is absent from gnomAD and ExAC, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in these databases. This variant is classified as Pathogenic in ClinVar (VarID:230243), and has been reported in the literature in individuals with early onset Pheochromocytomas [PMID: 17943698; PMID: 19694205]. Given its deleterious nature, its absence in population databases, and its observation in affected individuals in the literature, the c.640C>T (p.Gln214Ter) variant identified in the SDHB gene is reported here as Likely Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln214*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PMID: 17943698, 19694205). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230243). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Q214* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.640C>T) located in coding exon 6 of the SDHB gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 640. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. This mutation was first described in a 40-year-old Chinese female with a recurrent pheochromocytoma in the left adrenal gland. The patient's first pheochromocytoma had been removed 18 years prior to this study (Reusch J et al. Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes. 2007;115(9):616-8). It was also identified in a 15 year-old female with hypertension due to a functional abdominal paraganglioma (Kim MS et al. J. Pediatr. Endocrinol. Metab. 2009 Jun; 22(6):565-71). 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. -
