RCV000456554 | SCV000552177 | uncertain significance | Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy | 2018-03-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in DES cause disease. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with DES-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411148). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the DES gene (p.Glu452Thrfs*8). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 19 amino acids of the DES protein. |
