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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly12Serfs*18) in the DSC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23911551). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 503979). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Although the c.34_35delGG pathogenic variant in the DSC2 gene has not been reported to our knowledge, this variant causes a shift in reading frame starting at codon glycine 12, changing it to a serine, and creating a premature stop codon at position 18 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Gly12SerfsX18. This pathogenic variant is expected to result in either an abnormal, truncated protein product or loss of protein from this allele through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Multiple other downstream frameshift variants in the DSC2 gene have been reported in Human Gene Mutation Database in association with ARVC (Stenson et al., 2014), in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease. Furthermore, the c.34_35delGG variant has not been observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant encodes a premature stop of translation that is predicted to result in loss of protein function through nonsense-mediated decay or protein truncation. However, loss of function is not an established mechanism of disease in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 23863954, 18957847, 19863551, 23911551). This variant is absent from or rare in large population databases, including the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). -
