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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 454 of the DES protein (p.Arg454Gln). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25163546). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 191616). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. This variant disrupts the p.Arg454 amino acid residue in DES. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17221859, 22153487, 25557463). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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 p.R454Q variant (also known as c.1361G>A), located in coding exon 8 of the DES gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1361. The arginine at codon 454 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported as a secondary cardiac variant in an exome cohort, and has been detected in a dilated cardiomyopathy cohort; however, clinical details were limited (Ng D et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2013 Aug;6:337-46; Haas J et al. Eur Heart J, 2015 May;36:1123-35a). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
