Recent advances in genetics revealed that 25% to 30% of head and neck paragangliomas (PGLs) are inherited tumors associated with germline mutation, mainly in the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) gene.
DNA was isolated from whole blood and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were sequenced with an ABI3730 × 1 Genetic Analyzer.
A 30-year-old Korean woman underwent resection of a carotid PGL. Fourteen years later, she was readmitted for a cervical mass. (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/CT revealed a hot spot in the adrenal gland, besides the carotid mass. Surgical pathology confirmed recurrence of the carotid PGL and a concomitant pheochromocytoma. Genetic analysis revealed SDHD c.119del T (p.I40TfsX46) mutation. One daughter has been identified as a carrier.
We found a novel SDHD mutation from a Korean family that shows similar clinical features to those in other SDHD mutations, mostly from Western countries. Further studies are needed to determine whether similar genotype-phenotype correlations exist in the Asian patients with familial PGLs.
遗传学的最新进展表明，25%至30%的头颈部副神经节瘤（PGLs）是与种系突变相关的遗传性肿瘤，主要发生在琥珀酸脱氢酶（SDH）基因中。
从全血中分离DNA，并用ABI3730×1基因分析仪对聚合酶链反应（PCR）产物进行测序。
一名30岁的韩国女性接受了颈动脉PGL切除术。14年后，她因颈部肿块再次入院。（18）F-氟脱氧葡萄糖（FDG）-正电子发射断层扫描（PET）/CT显示，除了颈动脉肿块外，肾上腺还有一个热点。手术病理证实颈动脉PGL复发并伴有嗜铬细胞瘤。基因分析显示SDHD基因存在c.119del T（p.I40TfsX46）突变。已确定一个女儿为携带者。
我们在一个韩裔家族中发现了一种新的SDHD突变，其临床特征与其他主要来自西方国家的SDHD突变相似。需要进一步研究以确定亚洲家族性PGL患者中是否存在类似的基因型-表型相关性。
