Temporal bone paragangliomas are rare tumours with variable presentation that can be hereditary. Identification of clinical and genetic factors of aggressive tumour behaviour is important. To determine the underlying genetic mutations and genotype/phenotype correlations in a multi-ethnic population of South Florida with sporadic temporal bone paragangliomas. In a cohort of glomus tympanicum (GT) and glomus jugulare (GJ) cases, we assessed the frequency of pathogenic single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, and duplications in coding exons of genes that have been associated with paragangliomas (SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHA, SDHAF2, RET, NF1, VHL, TMEM127, and MAX). None of the 12 GT cases had mutations. Among 13 GJ cases, we identified four mutation carriers (31%); two in SDHC, one in SDHB, and one in SDHD. All patients with pathogenic mutations were of Hispanic ethnicity, presented at a younger age (mean 27.5 versus 52.11 years), and with more advanced disease when compared to mutation-negative GJ cases. Conclusions and Significance:  Mutations in the SDH genes are found in 31% of sporadic GJ. SDH-associated GJ had advanced disease and a 50% risk of metastasis. Our data supports emerging recommendations for genetic screening in all populations with GJ tumours as the genetic status informs management.
