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.

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 23 of the DSP gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in heterozygous state in a few young individuals affected with myocarditis as well as in an unaffected family member (PMID: 32410525, 34213952). This variant has also been reported in homozygous state in a young individual affected with acute myocarditis and severely dilated left ventricle (PMID: 28359509). This variant has been identified in 1/251254 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of DSP function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 534283). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DSP-related conditions (PMID: 28359509, 32410525). This variant is present in population databases (rs28763965, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1458*) in the DSP gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DSP are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20716751, 24503780, 25227139). -

The p.R1458* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4372C>T), located in coding exon 23 of the DSP gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4372. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 23. This mutation has been reported in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and in cardiomyopathy cohorts with limited details (Janin A et al. Clin Genet, 2017 Dec;92:616-623; Smith ED et al. Circulation, 2020 Jun;141:1872-1884). This alteration was also detected in a homozygous child with acute myocarditis and DCM-related findings; his heterozygous parents were reportedly unaffected (Belkaya S et al. J Am Coll Cardiol, 2017 Apr;69:1653-1665). In addition, this variant was described in a family with two heterozygous brothers affected with acute myocarditis and woolly hair, one of whom had non-sustained ventricular tachycardia; their heterozygous mother was unaffected (Poller W et al. J Am Heart Assoc, 2020 05;9:e015289). Alterations in DSP that result in haploinsufficiency or protein truncation have been reported in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Fressart V et al. Europace. 2010;12(6):861-8; Elliott P et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2010;3(4):314-22; Quarta G et al. Circulation. 2011;123(23):2701-9; Garcia-Pavia P et al. Heart. 2011;97(21):1744-52; Rasmussen TB et al. Clin Genet. 2013;84(1):20-30; Pugh TJ et al. Genet Med. 2014;16(8):601-8). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
