Abstract excerpt
Inactivating mutations of the succinate dehydrogenase subunit B ( SDHB ) gene and the subsequent stabilization and activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor 2-alpha (HIF2α) unit are recognized hallmarks associated with the development of metastatic pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (MPPG).
