Genes affected
DSC2 (HGNC:3036): (desmocollin 2) This gene encodes a member of the desmocollin protein subfamily. Desmocollins, along with desmogleins, are cadherin-like transmembrane glycoproteins that are major components of the desmosome. Desmosomes are cell-cell junctions that help resist shearing forces and are found in high concentrations in cells subject to mechanical stress. This gene is found in a cluster with other desmocollin family members on chromosome 18. Mutations in this gene are associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia-11, and reduced protein expression has been described in several types of cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 11 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJul 16, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr221*) in the DSC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23911551). This variant is present in population databases (rs145476705, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162504). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 27, 2023The p.Y221* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.663T>A), located in coding exon 6 of the DSC2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 663. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
