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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Tyr849Cys variant in DSP has not been previously reported in individuals w ith cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 12/66738 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs 778636665). Tyrosine (Tyr) at position 849 is not conserved in mammals or evolut ionarily distant species and 1 mammal (opossum) and several fish species carry a cysteine (Cys) at this position, raising the possibility that this change may b e tolerated. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Tyr849Cys variant is uncertain. -

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces tyrosine with cysteine at codon 849 of the DSP protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 17/251430 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the DSP gene. The Y849C variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The Y849C variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The Y849C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. Although this substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals, C849 is wild type at this position in multiple non-mammalian species. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Y849C variant (also known as c.2546A>G), located in coding exon 18 of the DSP gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2546. The tyrosine at codon 849 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with dilated cardiomyopathy and peripartum cardiomyopathy (Goli R et al. Circulation, 2021 May;143:1852-1862; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
