Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001927.4(DES):​c.1325C>T​(p.Thr442Ile) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T442N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 442 of the DES protein (p.Thr442Ile). The threonine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between threonine and isoleucine. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects desmin assembly and aggregate formation (PMID: 17221859, 21262226). This variant has been reported to segregate with autosomal dominant cardiac and skeletal myopathy in families (PMID: 17221859, 22153487) and has been reported in several individuals affected with autosomal dominant myofibrillar myopathy and desmin-related myopathy (PMID:18653338, 22215463). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16834). -
