The c.443_444delGCinsTT pathogenic mutation (also known as p.G148V), located in coding exon 4 of the SDHD gene, results from an in-frame deletion of GC and insertion of TT between nucleotide positions 443 and 444. This results in the substitution of a glycine for a valine residue at codon 148, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with SDHD-related hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma (Ambry internal data). Other variant(s) resulting in the same amino acid change, p.Gly148Val (c.443G>T), have been identified in individual(s) with features consistent with SDHD-related hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma (Neumann et al. JAMA. 2004;292:943-951). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: 'Null variant in a gene where loss of function (LoF) is a known mechanism of disease'. The evidence for this variant shows: NM_003002.4:c.443_444delinsTT results in a missense change (G148V), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: 'Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change'. The evidence for this variant shows: No previously established pathogenic variant at Gly148 resulting in Val substitution. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: 'De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history'. The evidence for this variant shows: No de novo data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: 'Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product'. The evidence for this variant shows: No functional studies performed for G148V. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: 'Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls'. The evidence for this variant shows: No case-control or prevalence data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation'. The evidence for this variant shows: No data on a mutational hot spot or functional domain at residue 148. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Moderate)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: 'Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive)'. The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0% in gnomAD and other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from population controls.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: 'Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for recessive disorders'. The evidence for this variant shows: No trans inheritance or recessive data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: 'Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants'. The evidence for this variant shows: NM_003002.4:c.443_444delinsTT causes a missense substitution without length change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: 'Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen before'. The evidence for this variant shows: No other pathogenic missense at Gly148 reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: 'Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity'. The evidence for this variant shows: No parental data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: 'Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members'. The evidence for this variant shows: No segregation data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

PP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: 'Missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease'. The evidence for this variant shows: SDHD disease mechanism is primarily loss of function, and missense variants are not established as a common mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Supporting)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: 'Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (e.g., conservation, splicing impact)'. The evidence for this variant shows: REVEL score of 0.98 exceeds the 0.75 threshold, and SpliceAI indicates no splice impact. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because computational predictions strongly support a deleterious effect.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: 'Patient’s phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology'. The evidence for this variant shows: No phenotype or family history data provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5

PP5 (Supporting)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: 'Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence'. The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar records this variant as Pathogenic by one clinical laboratory without detailed evidence. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because a reputable source reports pathogenicity but the evidence is not independently accessible.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: 'Allele frequency is too high for the disorder (stand-alone)'. The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0% in population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: 'Allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder'. The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0%, below any threshold for benign classification. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: 'Observed in a healthy adult individual for a dominant or X-linked or mitochondrial disorder with full penetrance'. The evidence for this variant shows: No observations in healthy individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: 'Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing'. The evidence for this variant shows: No functional data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: 'Lack of segregation in affected family members'. The evidence for this variant shows: No segregation studies available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP1

BP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: 'Missense variant in a gene where only loss of function causes disease'. The evidence for this variant shows: While LOF is primary, some missense SDHD variants can be pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: 'Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for dominant disorders or in cis with a pathogenic variant'. The evidence for this variant shows: No such observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: 'In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without known function'. The evidence for this variant shows: Not an in-frame indel in a repetitive region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
