While this study was conducted with the aim of identifying the incidence of germline mutations of SDHB and SDHC in paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma, it is worth remembering that we did not examine DNA from tumors, so no conclusion can be drawn on the incidence of somatic mutations of SDHB and SDHC in paraganglioma. Here, SDHC is linked to pheochromocytoma.
