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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 26, 2021Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variant ID# 201713; Landrum et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26807690, 26582918) -

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMar 13, 2015The p.Val56Leu variant in DES has not been previously reported in individuals wi th cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 0.06% (3/5166) of African chromoso mes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; d bSNP rs578066781). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do n ot provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, t he clinical significance of the p.Val56Leu variant is uncertain. -
Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 15, 2024This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 56 of the DES protein (p.Val56Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs578066781, gnomAD 0.08%). 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: 201713). 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 not expected to disrupt DES protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 12, 2023The p.V56L variant (also known as c.166G>C), located in coding exon 1 of the DES gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 166. The valine at codon 56 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is 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. -
