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.

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy;C0349788:Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Gln76X variant in DSP has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or in large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 76, which is predicted to lead to a tru ncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the DSP gene is an es tablished disease mechanism in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and has recently been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy. I n summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clini cal significance, the p.Gln76X variant is likely pathogenic. -
