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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3358029).

Cardiomyopathy Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Mar 10, 2023	This missense variant replaces arginine with lysine at codon 2541 of the DSP protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21723241, 24070718). However, this variant did not segregate with disease in multiple individuals from one family (PMID: 20129281). This variant has been identified in 5/282902 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.Arg2541Lys variant in DSP has been reported in 1 individual with ARVC (Bau ce 2010, Bauce 2011, Rigato 2013). The variant segregated with disease in 3 affe cted family members (including 2 obligate carriers); however, another affected r elative did not carry the variant (Bauce 2010). This variant has been identified in 3/66740 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http ://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs142078450). Arginine (Arg) at position 2541 is not conserved evolution and 4 mammals carry a lysine (Lys), suggesting that t his change may be tolerated. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg2 541Lys variant is uncertain due to conflicting data. -

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 did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The DSP c.7622G>A (p.Arg2541Lys) variant is a missense variant that has been reported in four studies, where it was found in six individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), including in a compound heterozygous state in two individuals and in a heterozygous state in four (Bauce et al. 2010; Bauce et al. 2011; Rigato et al. 2013; Zorzi et al. 2015). The variant was also found in three unaffected individuals from the family described in Bauce et al. (2010); these individuals ranged in age from 20 to 30 years. Their unaffected status could represent decreased penetrance due to their ages. In the same family, of the three known or obligate carriers of the variant, one suffered sudden death at age 45, one affected female died of heart failure at age 64, and one was diagnosed at age 37. Zorzi et al. (2015) conducted a follow-up study and evaluated data from the individuals described by Rigato et al. (2013); one individual with this variant experienced cardiac arrest. The p.Arg2541Lys variant was absent from over 1100 control alleles but is reported at a frequency of 0.00004 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the evidence, the p.Arg2541Lys variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variant ID# 228649; Landrum et al., 2016); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31402444, 24125834, 24070718, 21723241, 26138720, 23911551, 20129281) -

The p.R2541K variant (also known as c.7622G>A), located in coding exon 24 of the DSP gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 7622. The arginine at codon 2541 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in a proband with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), as well as in at least two family members with ARVC; however, this variant was not detected in another family member with ARVC, and at least two unaffected carriers were reported in this family (Bauce B et al. Heart Rhythm, 2010 Jan;7:22-9; Rigato I et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2013 Dec;6:533-42; Zorzi A et al. Europace, 2016 Jul;18:1086-94). This variant was also detected in one participant from an electronics medical record cohort, who did not have an ARVC diagnosis but clinical details were otherwise limited (Haggerty CM et al. Genet Med, 2017 11;19:1245-1252). 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. -
