Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_001927.4(DES):c.415G>A(p.Glu139Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000141 in 1,420,134 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E139Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a region_of_interest Coil 1A (size 32) in uniprot entity DESM_HUMAN there are 20 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (95%) in NM_001927.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.869

Jul 17, 2023

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. This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 139 of the DES protein (p.Glu139Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 411146). 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. -
