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]

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 215 of the DES protein (p.Val215Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs144908941, gnomAD 0.04%). 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: 222542). 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. 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.643G>A (p.Val215Met) variant identified in the DES gene substitutes a well conserved Valine for Methionine at amino acid 215/471 (exon 3/9).This variant is found with low frequency in gnomAD(v3.1.2)(22 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency:1.45e-4) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in that database. In silico algorithms predict this variant to be Damaging (SIFT; score:0.028) and Pathogenic (REVEL; score:0.782) to the function of the canonical transcript. This variant is reported as a Variant of Uncertain Significance in ClinVar (VarID:222542), and to our current knowledge has not been reported in affected individuals in the literature. The p.Val215 residue is within Coil 1B domain of DES (UniProtKB:P17661). Given the lack of compelling evidence for its pathogenicity, the c.643G>A (p.Val215Met) variant identified in the DES gene is reported as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The DES c.643G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val215Met. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.044% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-220284976-G-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Cardiovascular phenotype

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.V215M variant (also known as c.643G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the DES gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 643. The valine at codon 215 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
