Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -21 ACMG points: 0P and 21B. BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBP7BA1

The NM_004415.4(DSP):​c.2631G>A​(p.Arg877Arg) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.782 in 1,612,944 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 495,137 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R877R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
DSP (HGNC:3052): (desmoplakin) This gene encodes a protein that anchors intermediate filaments to desmosomal plaques and forms an obligate component of functional desmosomes. Mutations in this gene are the cause of several cardiomyopathies and keratodermas, including skin fragility-woolly hair syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
