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.

DSP-AS1 (HGNC:56039): (DSP antisense RNA 1)

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma Uncertain:1
Dec 13, 2023
All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant results in the loss of the translation initiation codon methionine (p.Met1?) of the DSP gene. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual dilated cardiomyopathy or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 31317183). This variant has been identified in 2/233270 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). While loss of DSP function is a known mechanism of disease, one cannot rule out the possibility that downstream in-frame methionine (e.g., p.Met17) may be used for alternate protein translation initiation and lead to the production of functional protein. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the DSP mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 17. This variant is present in population databases (rs748738880, gnomAD 0.002%). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DSP-related conditions (PMID: 31317183). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 429571). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -
