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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.51).
• BP6: Variant 18-31521194-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr18-31521194-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 44320.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.392 with no splicing effect.
