NCIt definition : Human SDHD wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q23 and is approximately
33 kb in length. This allele, which encodes succinate dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] cytochrome
b small subunit, mitochondrial protein, is involved in the localization of enzyme
activity of the electron transport chain. Mutation of the gene is associated with
hereditary paraganglioma type 1, pheochromocytoma, Carney-Stratakis syndrome and Cowden-like
syndrome. Mutations also may be associated with intestinal carcinoid tumor.;
