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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-219418830-TC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-219418830-TC-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 228548.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile123Metfs*18) in the DES gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DES are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23575897). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228548). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DES-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs747289875, gnomAD 0.008%). -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The p.Ile123fs variant in DES has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopat hy, but has been identified in at least 2 South Asian chromosomes by the Exome A ggregation Consortium. However, data from large population studies is insufficie nt to assess the frequency of this variant (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org ). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s a mino acid sequence beginning at position 123 and leads to a premature terminatio n codon 18 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Truncating DES variants have been reported in a n umber of individuals with a range of phenotypes including myopathy, DCM, HCM, an d/or conduction system disease (Park 2000, Dalakas 2000, Schroder 2003, Dunand 2 009, Hong 2010, Wahbi 2012, McLaughlin 2013) and both dominant and recessive mod es of inheritance have been described (Dunand 2009, Wahbi 2012, McLaughlin 2013) . However, the effect of truncating variants in the DES gene has not been fully elucidated. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, th e clinical significance of the p.Ile123fs variant is uncertain. -
