ClinVar

Description

This missense variant replaces arginine with isoleucine at codon 1775 of the DSP 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 four related individuals from a family (Family 151, PMID: 15941723). Only one of these individuals, a female who was diagnosed at the age of 37 year old, was affected with ventricular fibrillation and and aborted sudden death, but she did not fulfill diagnostic criteria for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. The proband's 13 year old son, 52 year old sister and her 18 year old son (proband's nephew) were unaffected although the proband's son had positive late potentials and sister had right ventricular abnormalities (PMID: 15941723). This variant has been identified in 18/282174 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.
