Is DSP p.Arg2846Gln (c.8537G>A) pathogenic?

DSP p.Arg2846Gln (c.8537G>A) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in DSP (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-09-03). AlphaMissense: ambiguous (0.5321); Very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas); Associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma.

What condition is associated with DSP p.Arg2846Gln (c.8537G>A)?

DSP p.Arg2846Gln (c.8537G>A) is associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8 (ClinVar).

How common is DSP p.Arg2846Gln (c.8537G>A) in the general population?

DSP p.Arg2846Gln (c.8537G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Carvajal syndrome inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about DSP p.Arg2846Gln (c.8537G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.5321) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Ashkenazi Jewish shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
