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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 20 uncertain in NM_001927.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• 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.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.983
• PP5: Variant 2-219418842-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-219418842-G-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 44259.

Observed in an individual with DCM who also harbored potential pathogenic variants in other genes (PMID: 25179549); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Reported functional studies showed that myogenic C2C12 cells formed aggregates and granulofilamentous material (PMID: 25179549); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 11061256, 16865695, 25179549) -

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The Arg127Pro variant in DES has not been reported in the literature nor previou sly identified by our laboratory. Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) suggest that this var iant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Additional information is needed to fully assess the c linical significance of this variant. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 127 of the DES protein (p.Arg127Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25179549). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44259). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DES protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DES function (PMID: 25179549). 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. -
