• DES p.Arg227Cys

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PS1_Moderate PP2 PP3

The NM_001927.4(DES):​c.679_681delCGCinsTGT​(p.Arg227Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R227L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_001927.4 (DES) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• 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, atrioventricular block, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, myofibrillar myopathy 1, dilated cardiomyopathy 1I, neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome, Kaeser type, familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy.
• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
