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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 32 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 2 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.7729 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.36303 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to myofibrillar myopathy 1, dilated cardiomyopathy 1I, atrioventricular block, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy, neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome, Kaeser type.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.849

PP5

Variant 2-219420906-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-219420906-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 201705.

Pathogenic:1

Apr 04, 2024

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 326 of the DES protein (p.His326Tyr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant DES-related conditions (Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 201705). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
