Paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma upon maternal transmission of SDHDmutations
9 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The SDHD gene encodes a subunit of the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme and tumor suppressor, succinate dehydrogenase. Mutations in this gene show a remarkable pattern of parent-of-origin related tumorigenesis, with almost all SDHD-related cases of head and neck paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas attributable to paternally-transmitted mutations. METHODS: Here we explore the underlying...
