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.

The p.Gln90Ter variant is predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein product. This variant has not been reported in the medical literature; however a similar truncating variant (p.Q51Ter) was reported in one individual with Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD), whereby electrical abnormalities on electrocardiography and Holter monitoring were proposed as an indicator for high risk patients (te Riele, 2013). This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) identified on a single chromosome out of 245,444, and has been reported to the ClinVar database as a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant (Variation ID: 265102). Based on these observations, the p.Gln90Ter variant is considered to be pathogenic. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 2 of the DSP gene and is expected to introduce a premature translation stop signal at codon 90. The mutant transcript may undergo nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, resulting in an absent or non-functional protein product. There are multiple in-frame methionines in exon 3 prior to a known functional domain, and it is unknown if any of these methionines may serve as alternate translation initiation site, thereby potentially mitigating the effect of this p.Gln90* variant. This variant has been reported in a family affected with dilated cardiomyopathy or arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 32372669), in two individuals affected with sudden death (PMID: 29181379, 31847883). This variant has been identified in 1/250568 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of DSP function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln90*) in the DSP gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DSP are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20716751, 24503780, 25227139). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with DSP-related conditions (PMID: 32372669). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265102). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Q90* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.268C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the DSP gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 268. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. This variant was detected in a sudden death case for which autopsy findings showed evidence of cardiomyopathy (Rueda M et al. Front Cardiovasc Med, 2017 Nov;4:72). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Alterations in DSP that result in haploinsufficiency or protein truncation have been reported in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Fressart V et al. Europace. 2010;12(6):861-8; Elliott P et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2010;3(4):314-22; Quarta G et al. Circulation. 2011;123(23):2701-9; Garcia-Pavia P et al. Heart. 2011;97(21):1744-52; Rasmussen TB et al. Clin Genet. 2013;84(1):20-30; Pugh TJ et al. Genet Med. 2014;16(8):601-8). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
