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.

The p.L933F variant (also known as c.2799G>C), located in coding exon 20 of the DSP gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2799. The leucine at codon 933 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was identified in a cohort that underwent genetic testing for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; however, clinical details were limited (Walsh R et al. Genet. Med., 2017 02;19:192-203). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

The p.Leu933Phe variant in DSP has been reported in 1 individual with ARVC (Wals h 2016). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 265104). T his variant has been identified in 8/65790 European chromosomes by the Exome Agg regation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs372922674). C omputational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong su pport for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical signific ance of the p.Leu933Phe variant is uncertain.
