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]

DSCAS (HGNC:51116): (DSC1/DSC2 antisense RNA)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.191796 fraction of the gene.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 18-31101902-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-31101902-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 1322769.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 1 of the DSC2 gene. Splice prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/125366 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Although there is a suspicion for a pathogenic role, clinical relevance of loss-of-function DSC2 truncation and splice variants in autosomal dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is not yet clearly established. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
