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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 9 uncertain in NM_001927.4

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PM5

Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-219421394-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 16821.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.

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 1, dilated cardiomyopathy 1I, atrioventricular block, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy, neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome, Kaeser type.

Collection Method:clinical testing

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant disrupts the p.Ala360 amino acid residue in DES. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9697706). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C65"). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with left ventricular noncompaction (PMID: 28798025). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 360 of the DES protein (p.Ala360Ser). -
