Abstract excerpt
Pheochromocytomas (PHEOs) and paragangliomas (PGLs; extra-adrenal tumors) are rare neuroendocrine chromaffin cell tumors with a hereditary background in about 30%-35%. Those caused by succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB) germline mutations are associated with a high metastatic potential and ultimately higher patient mortality. Succinate dehydrogenase converts succinate to fumarate, uniquely linking the Krebs...
