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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineApr 10, 2012The Leu1971Pro variant (DSP) 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 the Leu1971Pro variant. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 23, 2017Variant summary: The DSP c.5912T>C (p.Leu1971Pro) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). However, these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. This variant was found in 4/277060 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.000167 (4/23994). This frequency is about 7 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic DSP variant (0.000025), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African origin, although the allele count is small. An internal LCA sample also carried a pathogenic variant in TTR c.424G>A/p.Val142Ile, further supporting the non-pathogenic role of the variant of interest. In addition, one other clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as uncertain significance. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant is classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) - Possibly Benign," until additional information becomes available. -
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthSep 17, 2023This missense variant replaces leucine with proline at codon 1971 of the DSP protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with DSP-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 4/282694 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The 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. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 27, 2023The p.L1971P variant (also known as c.5912T>C), located in coding exon 24 of the DSP gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 5912. The leucine at codon 1971 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
