title: Mutations in SDHC cause autosomal dominant paraganglioma, type 3.
abstract: Nonchromaffin paragangliomas (PGLs) are usually benign, neural-crest-derived, slow-growing tumours of parasympathetic ganglia. Between 10% and 50% of cases are familial and are transmitted as autosomal dominant traits with incomplete and age-dependent penetrance.
