SDH5, a Gene Required for Flavination of Succinate Dehydrogenase, Is Mutated in Paraganglioma

TL;DR: A combination of bioinformatics, yeast genetics, biochemistry, and human genetics was used to show that a previously uncharacterized mitochondrial protein (Sdh5) is required for the activity of respiratory complex II, leading to the discovery of a human tumor susceptibility gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Epidemiology of Sarcoma

TL;DR: The limited studies identified demonstrate significant relationships with sarcoma risk, but many of these results now require further validation on larger populations and will be important to assess in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential Mechanisms for Cancer Resistance in Elephants and Comparative Cellular Response to DNA Damage in Humans

TL;DR: Elephants appeared to have a lower-than-expected rate of cancer, potentially related to multiple copies of TP53, and could represent an evolutionary-based approach for understanding mechanisms related to cancer suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Succinate dehydrogenase - Assembly, regulation and role in human disease.

TL;DR: Under this heightened scrutiny, the succinate dehydrogenase complex has proven to be a fascinating machine, whose regulation and assembly requires additional factors that are beginning to be discovered.
