RCV001059305 | SCV001223926 | uncertain significance | Desmin-related myofibrillar myopathy | 2019-01-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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 been reported to affect DES protein function (PMID:24200904). This variant has been observed in a family affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular compaction, dilated cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death (PMID: 24200904). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces alanine with aspartic acid at codon 120 of the DES protein (p.Ala120Asp). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between alanine and aspartic acid. |
