Is SDHA p.Val402= (c.1206C>G) pathogenic?

SDHA p.Val402= (c.1206C>G) is classified Likely benign in SDHA (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-06-12). Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with mitochondrial complex II deficiency, nuclear type 1.

What condition is associated with SDHA p.Val402= (c.1206C>G)?

SDHA p.Val402= (c.1206C>G) is associated with mitochondrial complex II deficiency, nuclear type 1, pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma syndrome 5 (ClinVar).

How common is SDHA p.Val402= (c.1206C>G) in the general population?

SDHA p.Val402= (c.1206C>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Isolated succinate-CoQ reductase deficiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.
