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]

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jul 23, 2024	In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23299917, 31402444, 21606390) -
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided	provider interpretation	Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford University	May 11, 2016	p.Val239Ala (c.716T>C) in DSG2 (NM_001943.3) We have seen this variant in a patient with a TIA at a young age and a family history of early stroke, sudden death, and cardiomyopathy. We did not see evidence of ARVC in the family though only minimal data is available on the relative with cardiomyopathy and sudden death. Given the frequency in the general population, we consider this variant a variant of uncertain significance, probably benign and we do not feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). Per the lab report, the variant has been reported in at least one case of ARVC (Quarta et al 2011). Per the lab report, "Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies." Per the lab report, "This variant is present in population databases (rs200997703, ExAC 0.1%)." -

Uncertain:1Benign:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	May 31, 2012	The Val239Ala variant in DSG2 has been reported in 1 individual with ARVC and wa s absent from 600 control chromosomes (Quarta 2011). This variant has also been identified in 2/3136 African American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS). Valine (Val) at position 239 is highly conserved in mammal and evolutionarily distant specie s, though computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) do not provide strong support for or against an impact to t he protein. Additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical signif icance of the Val239Ala variant. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 26, 2023	Variant summary: DSG2 c.716T>C (p.Val239Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Cadherin-like domain (IPR002126) 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 0.00011 in 280460 control chromosomes (gnomAD), predominantly at a frequency of 0.0012 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 5 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DSG2 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (0.00025), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.716T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (e.g. Quarta_2011), Dilated Cardiomyopathy (e.g. Seidelmann_2017, Al-Shafai_2021) and in a stillborn infant (Seidelmann_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30615648, 28087566, 21606390, 34137518). Five ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: two classified the variant as uncertain significance and three as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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. -
