Abstract excerpt
Hereditary paragangliomas (PGLs) caused by germline SDHD pathogenic variants (PVs) exhibit a parent-of-origin effect, with tumors arising almost exclusively when the PV is inherited from the paternal allele. The Hensen model proposes that a cluster of maternally expressed tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) on chromosome 11p15.5 may play a crucial role in SDHD-related PGL tumorigenesis, wherein somatic loss of maternal...
