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]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Arg824Cys var iant in DSG2 has been reported previously in 2 Chinese individuals with clinical features of ARVC (Bao 2013). It has also been identified in 0.2% (17/8618) of E ast Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.bro adinstitute.org; dbSNP rs201845396). Arginine (Arg) at position 824 is not conse rved in mammals or evolutionarily distant species and 2 mammals (black flying fo x and megabat) have a cysteine (Cys) at this position, raising the possibility t hat this change may be tolerated. Additional computational prediction tools do n ot provide strong support for or against an impact the protein. In summary, whil e the clinical significance of the p.Arg824Cys variant is uncertain, its frequen cy in general population, lack of evolutionary conservation, and presence of the variant amino acid in other mammals suggest that it is more likely to be benign -

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. -
