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.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8;C1854063:Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma Pathogenic:1

Aug 27, 2021

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in DSP are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20716751, 24503780, 25227139). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr983Hisfs*22) in the DSP gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with DSP-related conditions.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8 Pathogenic:1

Feb 22, 2017

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change deletes 2 nucleotides from exon 21 of the DSP mRNA (c.2947_2948delAC), causing a frameshift at codon 983. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr983Hisfs*22) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in DSP are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16061754, 20716751, 24503780). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
