The hereditary cancer syndromes hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) and succinate dehydrogenase-related hereditary paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma (SDH PGL/
PCC
) are linked to germline loss-of-function mutations in genes encoding the Krebs cycle enzymes
fumarate hydratase
and succinate dehydrogenase, thus leading to elevated levels of fumarate and succinate, respectively
1-3
. Here, we report that fumarate and succinate both suppress the homologous recombination (HR) DNA-repair pathway required for the resolution of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and for the maintenance of genomic integrity, thus rendering tumor cells vulnerable to synthetic-lethal targeting with poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. These results identify HLRCC and SDH PGL/
PCC
as familial DNA-repair deficiency syndromes, providing a mechanistic basis to explain their cancer predisposition and suggesting a potentially therapeutic approach for advanced HLRCC and SDH PGL/
PCC
, both of which are incurable when metastatic.
