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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM	-	The variant c.639G>A (p.Ala213Ala) in DES gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The variant has allele frequency 0.005% in gnomAD exomes and novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Uncertain_significance (VUS). This p.Ala213Ala type of mutation causes no change in the protein that is produced, which is why it's considered as synonymous mutation. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 2 of the DES coding sequence, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (Buratti E et al., 2007). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance (VUS). -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 29, 2024	This sequence change affects codon 213 of the DES mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the DES protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 2, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs377337947, gnomAD 0.03%). 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: 474290). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -

The c.639G>A (p.A213A) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the DES gene. This alteration consists of a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 639. This nucleotide substitution does not change the amino acid at codon 213. However, this change occurs in the last nucleotide of Exon 2 (c.579_639) which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
