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]

Pathogenic:1Uncertain:2Benign:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 19, 2018	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Benign, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Clinical Genetics, Academic Medical Center	-	- -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Oct 25, 2017	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Mar 18, 2015	p.Val56Met in exon 3 of DSG2: This variant has been reported in at least 4 indiv iduals with ARVC and was initially believed to be pathogenic (Syrris 2007, Bhuiy an 2009, Den Haan 2009, Christensen 2010, Quarta 2011). However, it has been ide ntified in 0.3% (185/66660) of European chromosomes (including 1 homozygous indi vidual) by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.or g; dbSNP rs121913013), strongly arguing against a disease causing role when pres ent in isolation. There is some evidence that the p.Val56Met variant may predisp ose to dilated cardiomyopathy as Posch 2008 detected it in 13/538 DCM probands v ersus 3/617 control individuals (p<0.007), but this study has not been replicate d nor firmly established. In summary, the p.Val56Met variant is unlikely to be d isease causing in isolation, but its increased frequency in patients with DCM ve rsus healthy controls raises the possibility that it acts as a modifier when pre sent together with other variants. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 28, 2023	Variant summary: DSG2 c.166G>A (p.Val56Met) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0019 in 253524 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 8 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DSG2 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00025), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.166G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy and DCM (Syrris_2007, Posch_2008, Christensen_2010, Dalal_2009, Bhuyian_2009, Quarta_2011). However, the high presence of the variant in the general population and in controls suggests against a disease causing role for this variant. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18382419, 18678517, 17105751, 19039334, 19358943, 20031616, 19955750, 20152563, 20857253, 20716751, 21606390, 20864495, 19569224, 21455723, 20031617, 29038103, 35087879). Multiple submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified as likely benign (n=9) and VUS (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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. -
