DSC2

The DSC2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called desmocollin-2. This protein is found in many tissues, although it appears to be particularly important in the heart muscle and skin.

Associated Diseases

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)

Did you Know

Mutations in the DSC2 gene are linked to ARVD11, a condition affecting the right ventricle of the heart.
ARVD11 can lead to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and structural changes in the heart muscle.
It is characterized by thick, calloused skin on the palms and soles (palmoplantar keratoderma), coarse, dry, tightly curled hair, and potentially life-threatening heart issues
