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 testingBlueprint GeneticsApr 28, 2017- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxApr 06, 2017The R355Q variant in the DES gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The R355Q variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R355Q variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which occurs within the Rod region and coil 2B region at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues R350W, R350P, A357P, A360P have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with DES-related disorders, (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. We interpret R355Q as a variant of uncertain significance. -
Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 06, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 355 of the DES protein (p.Arg355Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs61368398, gnomAD 0.006%). 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: 411145). 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) has been performed at Invitae 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. -
