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]

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: DSC2 c.2636A>G (p.Asp879Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Cadherin, cytoplasmic domain (IPR000233) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00022 in 252158 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 22 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DSC2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2636A>G in individuals affected with Arrhythmia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and a majority consensus of likely benign (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -
