Abstract excerpt
Recent studies indicate that succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) genes B, C, or D are, at least partly, involved in the pathogenesis of pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. Of these three genes, the SDHD gene mutation is most closely related with paragangliomas of the neck. Here we describe a case of an SDHD-related paraganglioma, in which we studied the molecular characteristics of an SDHD mutation to evaluate the...
