What condition is associated with DSP p.Asp728= (c.2184T>C)?

DSP p.Asp728= (c.2184T>C) is associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8 (ClinVar).

How common is DSP p.Asp728= (c.2184T>C) in the general population?

DSP p.Asp728= (c.2184T>C) is very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Carvajal syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive (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.
