Abstract

Hereditary paraganglioma (PGL) is characterised by genetic predisposition to the development of highly vascular tumours of the paraganglionic tissues and caused by germ line inactivating mutations in the SDHB, SDHC and SDHD subunits of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase enzyme complex (SDH; mitochondrial complex II). Recent studies have demonstrated that SDH gene mutations in germ line occur in at least 11% of non-familial head and neck paragangliomas, 8% of non-familial pheochromocytomas, 28% of malignant pheochromocytomas and 33% of extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. An increasing amount of data suggest that PGL mutations lead to constitutive activation of hypoxia signalling pathways. Genetic and structural models suggest that SDH mutations cause an accumulation of succinate and reactive oxygen species (ROS) which might act as downstream signalling molecules that activate hypoxia inducible pathways. However, many fundamental aspects of PGL pathogenesis, including the mechanism of ROS accumulation, the imprinted transmission pattern of SDHD mutations, and the precise role of SDH in regulation of oxygen homeostasis, remain poorly understood.

  • Mutations in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) were identified in dominantly inherited familial paraganglioma.

    “Mutations in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), an oxidoreductase complex that functions in both the ETC and TCA cycle, were identified in dominantly-inherited familial paraganglioma (Baysal, 2008; Baysal et al., 2000).”

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.
