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.

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Val1967Met vari ant in DSP has not been previously reported in the literature nor previously bee n identified by our laboratory. Valine (Val) at position 1967 is not conserved i n distantly related mammals and the platypus carries a methionine (Met; this var iant) at this position. In addition, computational analyses (biochemical amino a cid properties, conservation, AlignGVGD, PolyPhen2, and SIFT) suggest that this variant may not impact the normal function of the protein, though this informat ion is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Although the lack of con servation and computational data are supportive of a benign role for Val1967Met, additional studies are needed to fully assess its clinical significance. -

Mar 03, 2025

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with methionine at codon 1967 of the DSP protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant nor has this variant been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 3/251246 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8 Uncertain:1

Nov 04, 2022

New York Genome Center

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.5899G>A variant in DSP has not previously been reported in the literature and it has been deposited in ClinVar [ClinVar ID: 44933] as variant of uncertain significance without phenotype information. The c.5899G>A variant is observed in 7 alleles (~0.0012% minor allele frequency with 0 homozygote) in population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2, TOPMed Freeze 8), suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in those databases. The c.5899G>A variant in DSP is located in exon 24 of this 24-exon gene, and is predicted to replace an evolutionarily weakly conserved valine amino acid with methionine at position 1967 (p.(Val1967Met) in the encoded protein. In silico predictions are not in favor of damaging effect for the p.(Val1967Met) variant [CADD v1.6 =23.2, REVEL = 0.093]; however, there are no functional studies to support or refute these predictions. Based on available evidence this c.5899G>Ap.(Val1967Met) variant identified in DSP is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1

Jul 23, 2020

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.5899G>A (p.V1967M) alteration is located in exon 24 (coding exon 24) of the DSP gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 5899, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 1967 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
