Genes affected
DSP (HGNC:3052): (desmoplakin) This gene encodes a protein that anchors intermediate filaments to desmosomal plaques and forms an obligate component of functional desmosomes. Mutations in this gene are the cause of several cardiomyopathies and keratodermas, including skin fragility-woolly hair syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingStanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford University-Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. Based on the data reviewed below, we classify this as a variant of unknown significance (VUS). Mutations in the DSP gene have been reported in at least 7% of patients with autosomal dominant arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Harvard’s LMM has reported this variant in two patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who also carried variants in multiple other cardiomyopathy genes. They classified it as a variant of unknown significance (Pugh et al. 2014, Supplementary Data). This is a non-conservative amino acid change from a positively-charged arginine to a polar, uncharged cysteine capable of forming disulfide bonds. The arginine at codon 315 is not conserved across species (it is an arginine in 6 out of 8 vertebrate species, and a leucine in 2 others). In silico analysis with PolyPhen-2 predicts the variant to be “probably damaging” with a score of 1.0. No variants within 10 amino acid residues have been listed in HGMD in association with ARVC (HGMD professional version as of January 17, 2014). The closest is Ser299Arg. In total the variant has been seen in 2 out of ~7500 individuals from population datasets. It was found in 1 Han Chinese individual in 1000 Genomes (1/197 Han Chinese individuals total). It was also seen in 1 Caucasian individual in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) dataset, which currently includes variant calls on ~4300 Caucasian and ~2200 African American individuals (as of March 27, 2014). The phenotype of the ESP individuals is not publicly available, however the cohorts that were merged to create this dataset were all either general population samples or samples recruited for common cardiovascular disease such as hypertension. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 15, 2019Variant summary: DSP c.943C>T (p.Arg315Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Spectrin/alpha-actinin repeat (IPR018159) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 250466 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00087 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 87 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DSP causing Arrhythmia phenotype (1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. c.943C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C), dilated cardiomyopathy and Brugada syndrome (Bhonsale_2015, Chen_2018, Walsh_2017, Zhao_2016). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmia. Co-occurrences with pathogenic variants in VCL (c.1639C>T, p.Arg547*) and SCN5A (c.3823G>A, p.Asp1275Asn) genes have been reported in two patients affected with dilated cardiomyopathy and Brugada syndrome, respectively (Pugh_2014, Zhang_2016). Additionally, a co-occurrence with a pathogenic DSP variant (c.6478C>T, p.Arg2160*) has been reported in an ARVD/C patient (Bhonsale_2015), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Results from two recent abstracts presented in scientific conferences from the same group describe the variant to effect DSP binding to CSN6 protein, cardiac CSN6 reduction and early electrical defects found in ARVC in DSP R315C knock-in mice (Liang_2019, Sheikh_2018). The authors highlight the importance of CSN6 at the cardiac desmosome and suggest loss of CSN6 as a new underlying mechanism driving ARVC and sudden death. However, since the role of CSN6 in the cause of ARVC has not been conclusively determined at the time of this classification and these results are not provided in a peer-reviewed, full-text publication, no conclusive interpretations can be drawn. Seven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (6x) and once as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJun 21, 2019The p.Arg315Cys variant in DSP (ClinVar variation ID #24440) has been reported in 4 individuals with ARVC, two of whom carried an additional variant sufficient to explain their phenotype (1 in DSP and 1 in PKP2), and in 1 individual with left ventricular dilation (Bhonsale 2015, Ermakov 2014, Walsh 2017, LMM data). This variant was also identified in 3 individuals with childhood onset DCM from two families (LMM data). Two of these (from one family) also carried a pathogenic DSP loss of function variant and had a more severe course of disease than other family members who had only the loss of function variant, suggesting that the p.Arg315Cys variant may have added to disease severity. In addition, this variant has been reported in 2 individuals with Brugada syndrome, one of whom also carried a pathogenic variant in SCN5A (Zhang 2016, Zhao 2016). This variant has been identified in 0.08% (16/19928) of East Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), which is higher than the maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant causing autosomal dominant ARVC although it remains compatible with autosomal recessive inheritance, which has been described for DSP. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the Arg315Cys variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the Arg315Cys variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PP3, PM3, BS1_Supporting. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJan 24, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 315 of the DSP protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that this variant disrupts the DSP and CSN6 interaction in vitro and cardiomyocyte-specific DSP knockout mice exhibit baseline electrical defects associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy as well as a significant increase in catecholamine induced arrhythmias when compared with wild-type controls (PMID: 33857019 ). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and Brugada syndrome (PMID: 24503780, 25196244, 25616645, 26585738, 27532257, 31983221, 32516855). Three of these individuals also carried pathogenic variants in different genes suggesting that this variant may not have been the cause of disease observed in the affected individuals (PMID: 2450378, 25616645, 25196244). This variant occurs at an appreciable frequency in the general population and has been identified in 35/281858 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Lethal acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
