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]

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 442 of the DES protein (p.Thr442Asn). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DES-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 626715). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on DES protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Thr442 amino acid residue in DES. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17221859, 18653338, 21262226, 22153487, 22215463). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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.

The p.T442N variant (also known as c.1325C>A), located in coding exon 8 of the DES gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1325. The threonine at codon 442 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. A different variant affecting this codon (p.T442I, c.1325C>T) has been reported in association with desminopathy with cardiac and skeletal system involvement (Bär H et al. Hum. Mutat., 2007 Apr;28:374-86). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
