Epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming of SDH deficient pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas

Favier Judith

SDHA, B, C, and D (SDHx) genes encode the four subunits of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), a mitochondrial enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle that oxidizes succinate into fumarate. They were the first genes encoding a mitochondrial enzyme demonstrated to act as tumor suppressors, an important finding supporting the hypothesis of a direct link between mitochondrial dysfunction and cancer proposed by Otto Warburg in the 1920’s. It is estimated that germline mutatio...
