Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The NM_001927.4(DES):​c.407T>C​(p.Leu136Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000703 in 1,422,204 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L136H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a region_of_interest Coil 1A (size 32) in uniprot entity DESM_HUMAN there are 10 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) 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 chr2-219418869-T-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 136 of the DES protein (p.Leu136Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 26724190). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265811). 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: 26724190). 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. -
