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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 798 of the DSC2 protein (p.Arg798Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs61731921, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DSC2-related conditions (PMID: 31534214, 31983221). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 46179). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt DSC2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Arg798Leu varia nt in DSC2 has not been reported in the literature nor previously identified by our laboratory. This variant has also not been identified in large and broad Eur opean American and African American populations by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Pr oject (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS). However, we cannot exclude that it may be common in other populations. Arginine (Arg) at position 798 is not conserved in evolution, suggesting that a change may be tolerated. Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) do not prov ide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. Although this data s upports that the Arg798Leu variant may be benign, additional studies are needed to fully assess its clinical significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with leucine at codon 798 of the DSC2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 31983221). This variant has aslo been identified in 11/282524 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. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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. -
