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]

Variant summary: The DSC2 c.135C>T (p.Ala45Ala) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. 4/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. This variant was found in 10/121372 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the Latino subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0003456 (4/11574). This frequency is about 35 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic DSC2 variant (0.00001), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of Latino origin. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and clinical diagnostic laboratories. Taken together, this variant is classified as Benign. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -
