RCV000037261 | SCV000060918 | uncertain significance | not specified | 2019-01-29 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Thr335Ala variant in DSG2 has been reported in 2 individuals with DCM, 3 individuals with sudden death, >15 individuals with ARVC (4 of these individuals also carried an additional disease-causing variant), and 3 families with an apparently recessive form of ARVC (affected homozygous siblings and unaffected heterozygous parents/siblings; den Haan 2009, Xu 2010, Christensen 2010, Quarta 2011, Cox 2011, Garcia-Pavia 2011, Rasmussen 2013, Duong 2017, Groneweg 2013, Green 2015, Calore 2012 (Master's thesis), Mederios-Domingo 2017, Qadri 2017, Schymanski 2017 (Master's thesis), Sanchez 2016, LMM data). This variant has been identified in 0.1% (29/25792) of Finnish and 0.06% (84/126612) of European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs191564916). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 44278). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Thr335Ala variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Thr335Ala variant is uncertain due to conflicting data. The ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4, PP1_M, BP4, BP5. |

Invitae | RCV001034652 | SCV000287229 | uncertain significance | Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 10 | 2024-01-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 335 of the DSG2 protein (p.Thr335Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs191564916, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy or dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20031617, 20152563, 20864495, 21606390, 21636032, 23381804, 23871674, 24704780, 25445213, 28818065, 30790397). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44278). 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. |

RCV000656843 | SCV000885320 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2017-08-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | One variant of uncertain clinical significance, c.1003A>G; p.Thr335Ala, was detected in the DSG2 gene by massively parallel sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The c.1003A>G; p.Thr335Ala has been reported in patients with Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (Rasmussen et al. 2013, Christensen et al. 2010, den Haan et al. 2009, te Riele et al. 2013). Rasmussen (2013) observed homozygous brothers with ARVC who had unaffected heterozygote siblings and parents. Additionally, three heterozygote males with ARVC were reported in the same study with unaffected heterozygote parents. den Haan (2009) observed this variant in one heterozygote male with ARVC who also carried a loss of function variant in the PKP2 gene. This variant has also been reported in three patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) however with lack of segregation in the families (Garcia-Pavia et al. 2011, Pugh et al. 2014). Ng (2013) observed this variant with an allele frequency of 0.2 percent (on 3 out of 1,738 chromosomes) in individuals not selected for arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, or a family history of sudden death and classified this variant likely benign. Rasmussen (2013) also demonstrated no significant changes in abundance or localization of the variant DSG2 protein by immuno-histochemical staining of myocardial or epidermal tissues. This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with a frequency of 0.1 percent in the European Finnish population (identified on 29 out of 25,792 chromosomes), and is reported to the ClinVar database as a variant of uncertain significance (Variation ID: 44278). Given the overabundance of this variant in the control populations (from gnomAD) and, the reported cases of heterozygote patients and unaffected relatives with ARVC and DCM, it remains to be determined whether the p.Thr335Ala is a benign polymorphism or a pathogenic variant with low penetrance. |

RCV001034652 | SCV001283481 | uncertain significance | Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 10 | 2018-08-06 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. |

RCV000037261 | SCV001467983 | uncertain significance | not specified | 2023-10-31 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: DSG2 c.1003A>G (p.Thr335Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Cadherin like domain (IPR002126) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00051 in 254132 control chromosomes (no homozygotes; gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DSG2 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00025), suggesting that the variant may be benign. c.1003A>G has been reported in the literature in multiple heterozygous individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (e.g., denHaan_2009, Xu_2010, Christensen_2010, Tan_2010, Cox_2011, Garcia-Pavia_2011, Quarta_2011, Rasmussen_2013, teRiele_2013, Iglesias_2021, Hathaway_2021), however without strong evidence for causality (e.g., lack of co-segregation data, lack of segregation with disease in some families, or co-occurrence with pathogenic variants in other ARVC-associated genes). However, the variant has also been reported in the homozygous state in several ARVC patients (e.g., Groeneweg_2013, Rasmussen_2013, Hermida_2019, Qadri_2017), and the variant was shown to segregate with disease and displayed complete penetrance in an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern in five homozygotes from one family (Qadri_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with autosomal dominant Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy, but suggest the variant may be associated with recessive disease. Several co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported in heterozygous individuals in the literature and observed in our own laboratory (ARVD, PKP2 c.145_148delCAGA, p.Thr50fs; PKP2 c.235C>T, p.Arg79* in the literature; LQT1, KCNQ1 c.1075C>T, p.Q359* via internal testing), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reporting experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function was ascertained, however, it does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect while reporting that the altered protein was expressed and incorporated into desmosomes (e.g., Rasmussen_2013). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23299917, 20864495, 21606396, 21859740, 23871674, 33673806, 30790397, 33919104, 23861362, 28818065, 21606390, 23381804, 20857253, 20152563, 20031617, 23810894). Sixteen clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (VUS, n = 11; likely benign, n = 2; likely pathogenic, n = 2), and some cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. |

Of note, the literature states that all heterozygous carrier relatives of these homozygous probands are unaffected. This variant has also been identified in 2 individuals with DCM, segregating with disease in 1 affected family member (Garcia-Pavia 2011 PMID:21859740, Pugh 2014 PMID:24503780). This variant is present in 0.1% (29/25792) Finnish alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/rs191564916) and is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:44278). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. In vitro functional studies suggest that this variant may impact the protein (Rasmussen 2013 PMID:23381804). However, these studies may not accurately represent in vivo biological function. Due to contradictory evidence, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. |
