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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.00464 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Ser2859fs v ariant in DSP has not been reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or in lar ge population studies. This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the protein ?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 2859 and leads to a premature termi nation codon 6 amino acids downstream, resulting in a loss of the last 6 amino a cids of the DSP protein and may not. It is unclear if this variant would undergo nonsense mediated decay and cause a loss of function variant. However, homozygo us variants that truncate the tail of the DSP protein have been reported in indi viduals with Carvajal syndrome and/or acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa (Cheong 2005, Jonkman 2005, Rasmussen 2013). Although this data supports that the Ser28 59fs variant may be pathogenic in homozygous configuration, additional studies a re needed to fully assess its clinical significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser2859Leufs*6) in the DSP gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 13 amino acid(s) of the DSP protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DSP-related conditions (PMID: 32164419; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179504). 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. -
