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]
DSG2-AS1 (HGNC:51311): (DSG2 antisense RNA 1)

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 26, 2021Reported in a study that explored ARVC variants in North Americans, however, the authors excluded the S1098C variant, presumably due to its presence in control populations (denHaan et al., 2009); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance by several clinical laboratories (ClinVar Variant ID#191633; Landrum et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20031617) -

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMar 11, 2015The p.Ser1098Cys variant in DSG2 has been reported at least 1 individual with AR VC or suspected ARVC (den Haan 2009), but has also been identified in 4/66638 Eu ropean chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadi nstitute.org; dbSNP rs2848673). Serine at position 1098 is not conserved in evol ution and 2 mammalian species (bats) carry a cystine (Cys) at this position, rai sing the possibility that this change is tolerated. In summary, the clinical sig nificance of the p.Ser1098Cys variant is uncertain. -
Cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthFeb 08, 2023This missense variant replaces serine with cysteine at codon 1098 of the DSG2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20031617). This variant has been identified in 8/249178 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 23, 2021The p.S1098C variant (also known as c.3293C>G), located in coding exon 15 of the DSG2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 3293. The serine at codon 1098 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported as a secondary cardiac variant in an exome cohort; however, clinical details are limited (Ng D et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2013 Aug;6:337-46). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species, and cysteine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
