Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_001927.4(DES):c.380G>C(p.Arg127Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R127C) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Mar 13, 2014 | p.Arg127Pro (CGC>CCC): c.380 G>C in exon 1 of the DES gene (NM_001927.3) The R127P variant has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The R127P variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R127P variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Furthermore, missense mutations in nearby residues (N116S, A120D) have been reported in a gene specific database in association with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (Van der Zwaag P et al., 2009), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. Therefore, this variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic mutation, however the possibility that it is a benign variant cannot be excluded. The variant is found in CARDIOMYOPATHY panel(s). - |
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine | Aug 27, 2012 | The Arg127Pro variant in DES has not been reported in the literature nor previou sly identified by our laboratory. Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) suggest that this var iant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Additional information is needed to fully assess the c linical significance of this variant. - |
Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Dec 23, 2023 | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 127 of the DES protein (p.Arg127Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25179549). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 44259). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DES protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DES function (PMID: 25179549). 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. - |
