Genes affected
DSC2 (HGNC:3036): (desmocollin 2) This gene encodes a member of the desmocollin protein subfamily. Desmocollins, along with desmogleins, 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 desmocollin family members on chromosome 18. Mutations in this gene are associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia-11, and reduced protein expression has been described in several types of cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

The c.1521-5A>G variant in DSC2 has been identified by our laboratory in one Cau casian individual with ARVC, wooly hair, and palmoplantar keratoderma who also c arried a likely pathogenic variant in another ARVC-associated gene. Both variant s segregated with the palmoplantar keratoderma and wooly hair in an additional a ffected relative. This variant has also been identified in 1/66594 European chro mosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.or g; dbSNP rs397517392). The c.1521-5A>G variant is located in the 3' splice regio n. Computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing. However, this infor mation is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clini cal significance of the c.1521-5A>G variant is uncertain.
