Is DSC2 p.Ser526Ala (c.1576T>G) pathogenic?

DSC2 p.Ser526Ala (c.1576T>G) is classified Uncertain significance in DSC2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-07-23). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0805); Very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe); Associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 11.

What condition is associated with DSC2 p.Ser526Ala (c.1576T>G)?

DSC2 p.Ser526Ala (c.1576T>G) is associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 11 (ClinVar).

How common is DSC2 p.Ser526Ala (c.1576T>G) in the general population?

DSC2 p.Ser526Ala (c.1576T>G) is very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about DSC2 p.Ser526Ala (c.1576T>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0805) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Q: How is Inherited isolated arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
