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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 6-7581072-AGGAG-TTCT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-7581072-AGGAG-TTCT is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 452266.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma Pathogenic:1

Jul 19, 2023

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 9 nucleotides in exon 23 of the DSP gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with DSP-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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. -

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1

Jul 18, 2018

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Arg1628fs variant in DSP has not been previously reported in individuals w ith arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and was absent from l arge population studies, though the ability of these studies to accurately detec t indels may be limited. This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID : 452266). This variant is located within exon 23 of DSP which undergoes alterna tive splicing resulting in two isoforms: one with a shorter and one with a longe r form of this exon. This variant is only located in the coding region of the lo nger isoform. In that transcript, this variant is predicted to cause a frameshif t, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1628 and leads to a premature termination codon 17 amino acids downstream. This alterati on is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss-of-function variants in the longer form of exon 23 have been observed in individuals with AR VC and/or DCM, suggesting that loss-of-function variants in this region are like ly to be disease causing (LMM data). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Arg1628fs variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.4882_4886delAGGAGinsTTCT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 23 of the DSP gene, results from the deletion of 5 nucleotides and insertion of 4 nucleotides causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R1628Ffs*17). 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. -
