Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_001927.4(DES):​c.665G>T​(p.Arg222Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,882 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R222H) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 32 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 2 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.7729 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.36303 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to myofibrillar myopathy 1, dilated cardiomyopathy 1I, atrioventricular block, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy, neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome, Kaeser type.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.957

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 222 of the DES protein (p.Arg222Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DES-related conditions. 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) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DES protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -
