Biology:SDHA
- SDHA converts succinate to fumarate as part of the citric acid cycle. This reaction also converts FAD to FADH2.
- Electrons from the FADH2 are transferred to the SDHB subunit iron clusters [2Fe-2S],[4Fe-4S],[3Fe-4S]. This function is part of the Respiratory chain
- Finally the electrons are transferred to the Ubiquinone (Q) pool via the SDHC/SDHD subunits.
Clinical significance
Because of the complexity of SDHA's locus, SDHA was rarely analyzed,[1] but in an increasing amount of research, it's been found that mutations in SDHA are pathogenic for a number of conditions, including hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma (PPGL) syndrome, mitochondrial complex II deficiency, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, Leigh syndrome, dilated cardiomyopathy, and possible relation with pituitary adenomas, adrenal carcinomas, and other neuroendocrine tumors.[2] Hereditary PPGL syndrome associated with mutations in SDHA is called "Paragangliomas 5" with likely lower penetrance than other SDHx mutations.[3]
Bi-allelic mutations in SDHA are known to be pathogenic for infant or early childhood Leigh syndrome, a progressive brain disorder.[4][5][6] It is not known, however, how mutations in the SDHA gene are related to the specific features of Leigh syndrome. There is some link between Leigh syndrome as a phenotype of mitochondrial complex II deficiency, but both can occur without the other as relating to SDHA mutations.[7]
SDHA is a tumour suppressor gene, and heterozygous carriers have an increased risk of paragangliomas as well as pheochromocytomas and renal cancer.[8] Risk management for heterozygous carriers of an SDHA mutation typically involve monitoring via annual urine tests for metanephrines and catecholamines as well as non-radiation imaging such as MRIs. PET scans and radiation imaging are used but should be limited to prevent radiation exposure.[9]
