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]

p.Thr358Ile in exon 8 of DSC2: This variant is not expected to have clinical sig nificance because it has been identified in 0.37% (94/25778) of Finnish chromoso mes, including 3 homozygotes, by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http:/ /gnomAD.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs139399951).

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: DSC2 c.1073C>T (p.Thr358Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0013 in 250956 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 8-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DSC2 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00016), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.1073C>T has been reported in the literature in an individual with a possible diagnosis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC), however, two first-degree relatives carrying the variant, were unaffected, and there was no family history of AC (Rasmussen_2014). These authors also reported that patient derived keratinocytes expressed normal amount of the DSC2 protein, however, this does not allow conclusions about the variant effect on protein function (Rasmussen_2014). 12 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.

Collection Method:clinical testing

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). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is 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.
