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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 248 of the DES protein (p.Arg248Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs772117708, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DES-related conditions (PMID: 30975432). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 578625). 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. -

The p.R248C variant (also known as c.742C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the DES gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 742. The arginine at codon 248 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in a sudden cardiac arrest cohort (Asatryan B et al. Am J Cardiol, 2019 Jun;123:2031-2038). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
