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]

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 11 Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 14, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46199). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSC2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr282*) in the DSC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23911551). -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 04, 2022Identified via whole exome sequencing in one individual without a known diagnosis of ARVC in the published literature, but additional clinical information was not provided (Carruth et al., 2019); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31638835, 31402444) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineAug 13, 2019The p.Tyr282X variant in DSC2 has been identified by our laboratory in 2 Caucasian siblings with ARVC and has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 46199). It was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 282, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Truncating DSC2 variants have been reported in individuals with ARVC (http://arvcdatabase.info/) and DCM (Elliot 2010, Garcia-Pavia 2011), but overall their contribution to disease has not been well characterized. Therefore, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of the p.Tyr282X variant is uncertain. -
