Abstract

The SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD genes encode the four subunits of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH; mitochondrial complex II), a mitochondrial enzyme involved in two essential energy-producing metabolic processes of the cell, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. Germline loss-of-function mutations in any of the SDH genes or assembly factor (SDHAF2) cause hereditary paraganglioma/phaeochromocytoma syndrome (HPGL/PCC) through a mechanism which is largely unknown. Owing to the central function of SDH in cellular energy metabolism it is important to understand its role in tumor suppression. Here is reported an overview of genetics, clinical and molecular progress recently performed in understanding the basis of HPGL/PCC tumorigenesis.

  • Mutations in complex II subunits C and D near the Qp site are associated with hereditary paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas, and SdhA mutations can cause Leigh syndrome.

    “This seems to be especially the case for mutations in complex II subunits C and D located in the vicinity of the Qp site that have been associated with specific forms of cancer such as hereditary paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas (overview in [13,14,36]) and in SdhA that can cause Leigh syndrome, a progressive neurodegenerative disease [14,94].”
  • SDH mutation was discovered in paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma, and later in gastrointestinal, neuroblastoma, renal, thyroid, and testicular tumors.

    “In 2008, mutation of SDH was discovered in cancers such as paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma cells124. Later, similar observations were made in gastrointestinal tumors, neuroblastomas, renal tumors, thyroid tumors, and testicular tumors125,126.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
