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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 18-31083007-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-31083007-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 468388.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in DSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23911551). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal at codon 332 (p.Tyr332*) of the DSC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
