Description

Variant summary: DSP c.1273C>T (p.Arg425X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Variants downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251268 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1273C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (Kindel_2012, Protonotarios_2022). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22555271, 35766183, 35653365). Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic (n=3) and likely pathogenic (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
