“…Two subunits, SDHA and SDHB, have a catalytic function, while SDHC and SDHD are considered anchoring proteins. In addition, a number of proteins, including SDHAF1, SDHAF2 (SDH5), SDHAF3, and SDHAF4, are required for correct assembly and functioning of the protein complex (Jain-Ghai et al 2013). Overall, complex II deficiency is a rare cause of RC deficiency and was primarily identified in cases with biallelic SDHA and SDHAF1 mutations, while heterozygous mutations of SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, and SDHAF2 were found to cause familial paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma (Ghezzi et al 2009;Rutter et al 2010;Jain-Ghai et al 2013).…”
