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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Montreal Heart Institute	Oct 19, 2019	- -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	May 31, 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	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 09, 2024	Variant summary: DSC2 c.1789G>T (p.Val597Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00016 in 251108 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0022 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 13 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 a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.1789G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with sudden cardiac death and was evaluated as a benign variant (Campuzano_2014). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25447171). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 199784). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Mar 04, 2019

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. -
