How common is DSC2 p.Thr581Pro (c.1741A>C) in the general population?

DSC2 p.Thr581Pro (c.1741A>C) is very rare (popmax 6.84e-05%) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about DSC2 p.Thr581Pro (c.1741A>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2092) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

DSC2 p.Thr581Pro

Q: What condition is associated with DSC2 p.Thr581Pro (c.1741A>C)?

DSC2 p.Thr581Pro (c.1741A>C) is associated with familial isolated arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 11 (ClinVar).

Q: How is Inherited isolated arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy inherited?

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

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.
