Genes affected

DSG2 (HGNC:3049): (desmoglein 2) This gene encodes a member of the desmoglein family and cadherin cell adhesion molecule superfamily of proteins. Desmogleins are calcium-binding transmembrane glycoprotein components of desmosomes, cell-cell junctions between epithelial, myocardial, and other cell types. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature glycoprotein. This gene is present in a gene cluster with other desmoglein gene family members on chromosome 18. Mutations in this gene have been associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial, 10. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 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 18-31522179-ATCCTCC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-31522179-ATCCTCC-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 466348.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=2}.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 466348). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSG2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr207*) in the DSG2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DSG2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17105751, 31386562). -

The c.621_626delTCCTCC pathogenic mutation (also known as p.Y207*) is located in coding exon 6 of the DSG2 gene. This pathogenic mutation results from an in-frame TCCTCC deletion at nucleotide positions 621 to 626. This results in the creation of a stop codon at codon 207. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This variant deletes 6 nucleotides in exon 6 of the DSG2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with heart failure and suspected of having biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (DOI: 10.26430/CHUNGARICA.2022.52.5.33). This variant was also reported in an individual affected with a syndromic intellectual disability, a congenital heart malformation, and an arrhythmia, and in her mother who had a mild intellectual disability and no apparent cardiovascular disease (PMID: 36360260). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Although there is a suspicion for a pathogenic role, clinical relevance of loss-of-function DSG2 truncation and splice variants in autosomal dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is not yet clearly established. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
