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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 292 of the DSG2 protein (p.Arg292Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs770921270, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21606396, 22000064, 22214898, 25820315, 26585103, 27532257, 29178656, 30454721). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 466351). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on DSG2 protein function. 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. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 292 of the DSG2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in homozygous or heterozygous state in individuals affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; however, it has also been carried by their unaffected relatives (PMID: 21606396, 22000064, 22214898, 25820315, 27532257, 29178656, 30454721, 32877757). One of the affected individuals also carried a pathogenic PKP2 truncation variant, which could explain the disease observed in that individual (PMID: 22214898). This variant has also been identified in 12/249360 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. -

The p.R292C variant (also known as c.874C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the DSG2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 874. The arginine at codon 292 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) cohorts (Groeneweg JA et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2015 Jun;8:437-46; Te Riele ASJM et al. JACC Clin Electrophysiol, 2015 Dec;1:551-560; Walsh R et al. Genet. Med., 2017 02;19:192-203). However, in many probands this alteration was detected in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state or co-occurred with alterations in other ARVC-associated genes, and a number of relatives positive for the R292C alteration were reported to be unaffected (Cox MG et al. Circulation, 2011 Jun;123:2690-700; Sato T et al. Leg Med (Tokyo), 2011 Nov;13:298-300; Nakajima T et al. Circ. J., 2012 Dec;76:737-43; Wada Y et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2017 11;5:639-651). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 292 of the DSG2 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 homozygous or heterozygous state in individuals affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; however, it has also been carried by their unaffected relatives (PMID: 21606396, 22000064, 22214898, 25820315, 27532257, 29178656, 30454721, 32877757, 36138163).
