Invitae RCV001242921 SCV001416043 uncertain significance Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy 2023-09-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 56 of the DES protein (p.Val56Glu). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DES-related conditions (PMID: 21520333). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 500483). 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. 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.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV001584405 SCV001821432 uncertain significance not specified 2021-08-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: DES c.167T>A (p.Val56Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Intermediate filament head, DNA-binding domain (IPR006821) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 150664 control chromosomes (gnomAD v3.1 genomes dataset). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.167T>A in individuals affected with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Ambry Genetics RCV002404609 SCV002712830 uncertain significance Cardiovascular phenotype 2022-08-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.V56E variant (also known as c.167T>A), located in coding exon 1 of the DES gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 167. The valine at codon 56 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
