Genes affected

DSG1 (HGNC:3048): (desmoglein 1) This gene encodes a member of the desmoglein protein subfamily. Desmogleins, along with desmocollins, are cadherin-like transmembrane glycoproteins that are major components of the desmosome. Desmosomes are cell-cell junctions that help resist shearing forces and are found in high concentrations in cells subject to mechanical stress. This gene is found in a cluster with other desmoglein family members on chromosome 18. The encoded protein has been identified as a target of auto-antibodies in the autoimmune skin blistering disease pemphigus foliaceus. Disruption of this gene has also been associated with the skin diseases palmoplantar keratoderma and erythroderma. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.976 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 18-31326608-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-31326608-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 88657.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The R26X variant in the DSG1 gene has been reported previously in an individual with palmoplantar keratoderma (Hunt et al., 2001). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The R26X variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). We interpret R26X as a likely pathogenic variant. -
