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]

PM1

In a propeptide (size 25) in uniprot entity DSG2_HUMAN there are 6 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (75%) in NM_001943.5

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.058069885).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000013 (19/1461868) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.000425 (19/44720). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000278. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 7 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Asn33Thr variant in DSG2 has not been previously reported in individuals wit h cardiomyopathy or in large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In s ummary, the clinical significance of the Asn33Thr variant is uncertain.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 33 of the DSG2 protein (p.Asn33Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs727505205, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSG2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179897). 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:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as 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.
