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 replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 203 of the DSC2 protein (p.Arg203Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs142331975, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21062920, 23514727, 25825460). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 72377). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DSC2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DSC2 function (PMID: 21062920). This variant disrupts the p.Arg203 amino acid residue in DSC2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with DSC2-related conditions (PMID: 21636032), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The p.Arg203Cys variant in DSC2 has been reported in 1 heterozygous Caucasian individual with A RVC (Gehmlich 2011) and in 1 Japanese individual with ARVC who carried 2 additio nal DSC2 variants (Ohno 2013). Testing of relatives of the proband reported by O hno 2013 detected the Arg203Cys variant in 1 of 2 relatives with a possible diag nosis of ARVC. This variant has been previously identified by our laboratory in two homozygous adults of Middle Eastern descent with ARVC and biventricular DCM, one of whom had additional minimal features of recessive ARVC. The variant was absent from large population studies but it should be noted that these did not s urvey a large enough number of Middle Eastern individuals to rule out that it is common in this population. Cell culture studies do suggest that the variant aff ects protein function (Gehmlich 2011) although these types of studies may not ac curately reflect biological function. Computational predictions also support tha t the variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of the p.Arg203Cys variant is unce rtain. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.607C>T (p.R203C) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the DSC2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 607, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 203 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
