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 Uncertain:2
Jan 12, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 207 of the DSC2 protein (p.Glu207Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs200634448, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 923949). 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 DSC2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with glutamine at codon 207 of the DSC2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). This variant has been identified in 4/251386 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. -

The DSC2 c.619G>C; p.Glu207Gln variant (rs200634448) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, though it was not demonstrated to be disease-causing in this individual (Walsh 2017). This variant is found on only four chromosomes (4/251386 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The glutamate at codon 207 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Glu207Gln variant is uncertain at this time. References: Walsh R et al. Reassessment of Mendelian gene pathogenicity using 7,855 cardiomyopathy cases and 60,706 reference samples. Genet Med. 2017 Feb;19(2):192-203. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Mar 06, 2024
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.E207Q variant (also known as c.619G>C), located in coding exon 5 of the DSC2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 619. The glutamic acid at codon 207 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been detected in an individual who underwent genetic testing for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; however, details were limited (Walsh R. Genet Med. 2017 Feb;19(2):192-203). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
