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 is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

The Tyr2731His variant in DSP has been reported in 1 individual with HCM (Lopes 2013) and has been identified by our laboratory in 4 Indian individuals with HCM (including this individual). It has also been identified in 1/854 control chrom osomes (Kapplinger 2011) and in 1/4406 African American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs201397978) . Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. At this time, additional infor mation is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the Tyr2731His var iant. -

Variant summary: The DSP c.8191T>C (p.Tyr2731His) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide, resulting in a missense substitution in a plectin repeat domain (InterPro). 3/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in the large control database ExAC and control cohorts from the literature in 341of 122076 control chromosomes (6 homozygotes) from all ethnicities, but was predominantly observed in the South Asian subpopulation at a frequency of 0.020288 (335/16512 chromosomes; 6 homozygotes). This frequency is about 2029 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic DSP variant (0.00001), strongly suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of South Asian origin. The variant has been reported in both controls and arrythmia patients in the literature (Lopes_J Med Genet_2013; Kapplinger_JACC_2011; Ng_Circ_2013), with authors describing the variant as a rare polymorphism and classifying as VUS or likely benign. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as likely benign or benign after 2014. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

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. -
