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.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxFeb 06, 2017This 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. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 06, 2017Variant summary: The DSP c.8455A>C (p.Met2819Leu) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 4/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant . This variant was found in 212/122592 control chromosomes (2 homozygotes), predominantly observed in the Latino subpopulation at a frequency of 0.014686 (170/11576). This frequency is about 1469 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic DSP variant (0.00001), strong evidence that this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of Latino origin. The variant has been reported in patients and controls in the literature, without strong evidence for causality, and in some cases classified as a polymorphism/neutral. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as likely benign/benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

Lethal acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This 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. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 27, 2017This 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. -
