Large Germline Deletions of Mitochondrial Complex II Subunits SDHB and SDHD in Hereditary Paraganglioma

Abstract excerpt

More than 30% of adrenal pheochromocytomas are hereditary. These neuroendocrine tumors are major components of three inherited cancer syndromes: multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL), and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndrome (PC/PGL). Germline mutations in RET; VHL; and SDHB, SDHC, and SDHD are associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, VHL, and PC/PGL, respectively....
