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]

The DES c.709G>A; p.Ala237Thr variant (rs397516697), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 44267). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.01% (19/282782 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The alanine at codon 237 is highly conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Ala237Thr variant is uncertain at this time. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Ala237Thr variant has not been reported in the literature nor identified in any other families tested by our laboratory. Alanine (Ala) at position 237 is hi ghly conserved across several evolutionary distant species, increasing the likel ihood that the change is pathogenic. However, in the absence of additional suppo rting data, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined at th is time. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 237 of the DES protein (p.Ala237Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs397516697, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 44267). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on DES protein function. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.709G>A (p.A237T) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the DES gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 709, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 237 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
