Genes affected

DSG2 (HGNC:3049): (desmoglein 2) This gene encodes a member of the desmoglein family and cadherin cell adhesion molecule superfamily of proteins. Desmogleins are calcium-binding transmembrane glycoprotein components of desmosomes, cell-cell junctions between epithelial, myocardial, and other cell types. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other desmoglein gene family members on chromosome 18. Mutations in this gene have been associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial, 10. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glycine with alanine at codon 678 of the DSG2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in several individuals affected with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PMID 24070718, 32102357), in an individual affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 26656175), and in an individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy and ventricular tachycardia (PMID: 33552729). This variant has also been identified in 13/280686 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Gly678Ala variant in DSG2 has not been reported in individuals with cardiomy opathy but has been identified in 1/4012 African American chromosomes by the NHL BI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). Computational a nalyses (biochemical amino acid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) suggest that the Gly678Ala variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the Gly678Ala variant.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 678 of the DSG2 protein (p.Gly678Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs372494397, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) (PMID: 24070718, 26656175, 32102357). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 178021). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt DSG2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
