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 Pathogenic. Variant got 10 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. Fraction of 0.0626 CDS is truncated, and there are 3 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PP5: Variant 6-7585336-CAGAA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-7585336-CAGAA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 246676.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr6-7585336-CAGAA-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with ARVC (MIM#607450) and other DSP-related cardiac disorders. (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Variants in this gene are usually inherited in a dominant manner, however rare reports of recessive inheritance have resulted in a more severe cardiac phenotype (OMIM). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Age-dependent penetrance and variable expressivity are well-described aspects of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 29062697). (I) 0205 - Variant is predicted to result in a truncated protein (premature termination codon is NOT located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction) with less than 1/3 of the protein sequence affected. (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0701 - Other truncating variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (ClinVar). (SP) 0802 - This variant has moderate previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic in ClinVar. It has also been reported in two individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 28527814, 27532257). (SP) 1205 - This variant has been shown to be maternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the DSP gene (p.Lys2693Profs*3). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 179 amino acids of the DSP protein. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 28527814, 27532257). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246676). This variant disrupts the C-terminus of the DSP protein. Other variant(s) that disrupt this region (p.Glu2728Glyfs*11) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that variants that disrupt this region of the protein are likely to be causative of disease. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
