Paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma are rare neuroendocrine tumors, characterized by variable metastatic potential. Identification of tumor aggressiveness markers on the early stages is an important task. Literature data analysis revealed that mutations in the SDHB gene, encoding succinate dehydrogenase subunit B, have the greatest prognostic significance. Mutations in FH, IDH1, IDH2, and MDH2 genes cause the similar disruptions and also associated with poor prognosis. Paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas can also be caused by other genetic disorders, but the list of markers and potential prognostic markers contains exactly the genes involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

Keywords:paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, molecular pathology, tumor progression, driver mutations, energy metabolism
