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]

not specified Uncertain:1
Jan 14, 2022
Phosphorus, Inc.
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant resulted in an amino acid substitution of arginine with cysteine at codon 10 of the DES gene. The variant has occurred once in gnomAD with a total MAF of 0.0004%. This position is conserved (GERP = 5.1199). In silico functional algorithms predict this variant to be possibly damaging and deleterious (PolyPhen/SIFT), but no functional studies were performed to confirm these predictions. The variant has not occurred in the literature in association with disease. Considering that this is a rare variant, whose impact on protein and association with disease are unknown, it has been classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy Uncertain:1
Jan 29, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 10 of the DES protein (p.Arg10Cys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DES-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1339289). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on DES protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
