Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PVS1_Strong PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_001942.4(DSG1):​c.45dupT​(p.Leu16fs) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★).

Genes affected

DSG1 (HGNC:3048): (desmoglein 1) This gene encodes a member of the desmoglein protein subfamily. Desmogleins, along with desmocollins, 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 desmoglein family members on chromosome 18. The encoded protein has been identified as a target of auto-antibodies in the autoimmune skin blistering disease pemphigus foliaceus. Disruption of this gene has also been associated with the skin diseases palmoplantar keratoderma and erythroderma. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.985 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 18-31318340-A-AT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-31318340-A-AT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1443223.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSG1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu16Serfs*7) in the DSG1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DSG1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19018793, 23974871, 27534273). -
