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]

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln554*) 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). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive and dominant DSC2-related conditions (PMID: 20152563, 23863954, 25497880). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 235909). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
