Recent discoveries in mutations in TCA cycle enzymes; succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), fumarate hydratase (FH), iso-citrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and malate dehydrogenase MDH2, have reinforced the link between mitochondrial dysfunction and cancer1. Phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are now recognised to be the most heritable tumour, with 40%1 having a genetic defect. Mutations in the SDH genes are the most frequently implicated genetic abnor...
