Ambry Genetics	RCV000492617	SCV000581216	likely pathogenic	Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome	2024-07-04	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The p.Y126C variant (also known as c.377A>G), located in coding exon 5 of the SDHC gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 377. The tyrosine at codon 126 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with paragangliomas (Ambry internal data; Lozano Sánchez et al. Angiología. 2010;62(6):214-218; Sen I et al. J Vasc Surg, 2020 May;71:1602-1612.e2; Williams ST et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf), 2022 Apr;96:499-512). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	RCV000551177	SCV000641438	pathogenic	Gastrointestinal stromal tumor; Paragangliomas 3	2024-12-04	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 126 of the SDHC protein (p.Tyr126Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with paragangliomas (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428933). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SDHC protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with paraganglioma (PMID: 19245779, 29305721, 32035780, 34558728). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000505370	SCV006074332	likely pathogenic	Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma	2025-04-25	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: SDHC c.377A>G (p.Tyr126Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 249038 control chromosomes. c.377A>G has been observed in individual(s) affected with Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome (example: Williams_2022, Halfmeyer_2022, Sen_2020, Internal data). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36672771, 32035780, 34558728). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428933). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

This variant has been reported in five unrelated individuals with head and neck paraganglioma (Lozano Sánchez et al. 2010. Angiologia. 62(6): 214-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-3170(10)70051-1; Table S1, Verginelli et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29305721; Supplement, Sen et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32035780; Tables 3 and S3, Williams et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34558728). It has also been reported as a likely pathogenic, paternally-inherited secondary finding in a pediatric individual with a neurodevelopmental indication (Table 1, Halfmeyer et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36672771). This variant is predicted to be protein destabilizing (Williams et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34558728). This variant has not been reported in gnomAD, indicating this variant is rare. This variant has been reported in ClinVar as likely pathogenic and pathogenic by outside laboratories (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/428933/). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic.
