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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 12 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The DSP c.6610C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln2204*). This variant was reported in the compound heterozygous state in a pair of monozygotic twins with lethal acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa, while the heterozygous carriers in this family were reported asymptomatic (Kim et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28442525). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is located in the large terminal exon and multiple downstream loss-of-function variants have been documented in individuals with autosomal dominant DSP-associated cardiomyopathy or arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (Fressart et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20400443; Tables S1 and S2, Smith et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32372669; Table S1, Wang et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34352074). In summary, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic for autosomal dominant and recessive DSP-associated disorders. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The p.Gln2204X variant in DSP has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopat hy and was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon within the last exon. Nonsense variants are well r eported patients with ARVC (http://arvcdatabase.info/) and this type of variant is generally expected to lead to nonsense medicated mRNA decay (NMD), resulting in loss of function. However, this is less likely in the last exon and therefore the effect of this variant on the protein is not clear. Some evidence for a rol e in ARVC comes from reports of homozygous truncating variants in the last exon in individuals with Carvajal syndrome and/or acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa (Cheong 2005, Jonkman 2005, Rasmussen 2013), though it is less clear if heterozy gous carriers exhibit any features. In summary, while there is some suspicion f or a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of the p.Gln2204X variant is unc ertain. -
