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]

This missense variant replaces asparagine with serine at codon 493 of the DSG2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, 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: 21606390). This variant has also been identified in 17/280812 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. -

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 493 of the DSG2 protein (p.Asn493Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs375679311, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21606390). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 163212). 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. 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. -

The Asn493Ser variant in DSG2 has been reported in 1 individual with ARVC (Quart a 2011). It has also been identified in 1/8302 of European American chromosomes and 1/3874 of African American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS, Andreasen 2013), as well as in 1/1740 Europe an chromosomes by the ClinSeq Project (dbSNP rs375679311, Ng 2013). Computationa l prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for o r against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the Asn493Ser variant is uncertain. -

Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

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. -
