Is DSP p.Glu793= (c.2379G>A) pathogenic?

DSP p.Glu793= (c.2379G>A) is classified Likely benign in DSP (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 4 submitters; last evaluated 2025-08-19). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0117%, amr); Associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma.

What condition is associated with DSP p.Glu793= (c.2379G>A)?

DSP p.Glu793= (c.2379G>A) is associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8 (ClinVar).

How common is DSP p.Glu793= (c.2379G>A) in the general population?

DSP p.Glu793= (c.2379G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0117%, amr) (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.
