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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJul 25, 2014The Asn33Thr variant in DSG2 has not been previously reported in individuals wit h cardiomyopathy or in large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In s ummary, the clinical significance of the Asn33Thr variant is uncertain. -
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 10 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 10, 2024This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 33 of the DSG2 protein (p.Asn33Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs727505205, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DSG2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179897). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt DSG2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 07, 2021The p.N33T variant (also known as c.98A>C), located in coding exon 3 of the DSG2 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 98. This alteration was identified in one patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in a large study of pathogenicity of Mendelian variants in cardiomyopathy patients, but clinical details are limited (Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2017 02;19:192-203). The asparagine at codon 33 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
