NCIt definition : Human SDHA wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5p15 and is approximately
38 kb in length. This allele, which encodes succinate dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] flavoprotein
subunit, mitochondrial protein, plays a role in cellular respiration. Mutation of
the gene is associated with both mitochondrial complex II deficiency and cardiomyopathy
dilated type 1GG.;
NCIt note : Mutation of the SDHA gene may be associated with Leigh syndrome, a condition that
co-occurs with the deficiency of any of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes.
