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]

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1 Uncertain:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Dec 13, 2023	This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 131 of the DSG2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 5/280608 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. -

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Nov 11, 2014	proposed classification - variant undergoing re-assessment, contact laboratory -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Feb 17, 2016	The A131T variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The A131T variant was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 5,900 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The A131T variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function.Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is pathogenic or rare benign. -

Invitae

This variant is present in population databases (rs373542380, gnomAD 0.006%). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on DSG2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44316). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSG2-related conditions. This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 131 of the DSG2 protein (p.Ala131Thr). -

Ambry Genetics

Jan 25, 2021

The c.391G>A (p.A131T) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the DSG2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 391, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 131 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
