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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeApr 18, 2023In 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. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on DSG2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16813). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20031617, 20152563, 31737537). This variant is present in population databases (rs121913009, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 507 of the DSG2 protein (p.Cys507Tyr). -

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthFeb 05, 2024This missense variant replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 507 of the DSG2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least four individuals affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20031617, 20152563, 20857253; Marschall et al, 2019). This variant has been identified in 2/280834 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. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 28, 2021The p.C507Y variant (also known as c.1520G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the DSG2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1520. The cysteine at codon 507 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been detected in an individual reported to have arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and in cases referred for ARVC genetic testing (Awad MM et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2006 Jul;79:136-42 (reported as C506Y); Marschall C et al. Cardiovasc Diagn Ther. 2019 Oct;9(Suppl 2):S292-S298). This variant has also been detected in several individuals from exome sequencing cohorts who were not know to have ARVC (Haggerty CM et al. Genet. Med., 2017 11;19:1245-1252; van Rooij J et al. Genet Med. 2020 11;22(11):1812-1820). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
