Genes affected
DES (HGNC:2770): (desmin) This gene encodes a muscle-specific class III intermediate filament. Homopolymers of this protein form a stable intracytoplasmic filamentous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with desmin-related myopathy, a familial cardiac and skeletal myopathy (CSM), and with distal myopathies. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 23, 2023The p.Y5* variant (also known as c.15C>A), located in coding exon 1 of the DES gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 15. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 1. The predicted stop codon occurs in the 5&rsquo; end of theDES gene. Premature termination codons in the 5&rsquo; end of a gene have been reported to escape nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay and/or lead to re-initiation (Rivas et al. Science. 2015 May 8;348(6235):666-9; Lindeboom et al. Nat Genet. 2016 Oct;48(10):1112-8; Rhee et al. Sci Rep. 2017 May 10;7(1):1653). Direct evidence for this alteration is unavailable, however premature termination codons are typically deleterious in nature. Although biallelic loss of function alterations in DES have been associated with autosomal recessive DES-related myopathy, haploinsufficiency for DES has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease for autosomal dominant DES-related myopathy. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
