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]

The DSC2 c.1721G>A; p.Ser574Asn variant (rs150318400) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and in the parent of a child with sudden unexpected death and suspected ARVC (Quarta 2011, van der Werf 2010). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an overall allele frequency of 0.01% (16/128894 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The serine at codon 574 is weakly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Ser574Asn variant is uncertain at this time. References: Quarta et al. Familial evaluation in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: impact of genetics and revised task force criteria. Circulation. 2011;123(23):2701-2709. van der Werf C et al.

Variant summary: DSC2 c.1721G>A (p.Ser574Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Cadherin-like domain (IPR002126) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.4e-05 in 251034 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00014 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5.6 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DSC2 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (2.5e-05). c.1721G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSC2-related conditions (examples: van der Werf_2010, van Lint_2019, Verdonschot_2020) . These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (KCNQ1 c.1781G>A, p.R594Q), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Internal sample). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21606390, 23299917, 20646679, 30847666, 31402444, 32880476, 38689299).ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 178018). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Ser574Asn variant in DSC2 has been reported in 1 individual with ARVC (Quart a 2011). It has also been identified in 4/8600 European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs1 50318400). Serine (Ser) at position 574 is not conserved evolution, raising the possibility that a change at this position may be tolerated. In summary, the cli nical significance of the Ser574Asn variant is uncertain. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 574 of the DSC2 protein (p.Ser574Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs150318400, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dyplasia/cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and/or unspecified cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20646679, 21606390, 30847666, 32880476, 37937776). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 178018). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces serine with asparagine at codon 574 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 individuals affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21606390), dilated cardiomyopathy, and unspecified cardiomyopathy (PMID: 30847666, 32880476, 37198425). This variant has also been identified in 17/282410 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. -

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. -
