rs1050700

What is the rs1050700 variant?

rs1050700 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the SDHA (Succinate Dehydrogenase Complex Flavoprotein Subunit A) gene. It belongs to the Metabolic category and is part of the Mitochondrial Energy Production & PEM biological cluster. SDHA encodes the catalytic subunit of complex II (succinate dehydrogenase), which links the TCA cycle to the electron transport chain.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the SDHA gene, which is involved in the TCA cycle / electron transport chain complex II pathway. Genes within the Mitochondrial Energy Production & PEM cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.
