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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: research

The heterozygous c.897+4_897+5delGG variant in DES has been identified in an individual with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20474083), but has also been identified in >1% of South Asian chromosomes and 4 homozygotes by ExAC (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign for autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
