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.

Variant summary: DSP c.8415C>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 251058 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00076 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 76 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DSP causing Arrhythmia phenotype (1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. The variant is cited in a publication, Patel_2014, with no additional information. Two ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
