Is DES p.Arg369Leu (c.1106G>T) pathogenic?

DES p.Arg369Leu (c.1106G>T) is classified Uncertain significance in DES (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 4 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-16). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.3366); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid); Associated with myofibrillar myopathy 1.

What condition is associated with DES p.Arg369Leu (c.1106G>T)?

DES p.Arg369Leu (c.1106G>T) is associated with myofibrillar myopathy 1 (ClinVar).

How common is DES p.Arg369Leu (c.1106G>T) in the general population?

DES p.Arg369Leu (c.1106G>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Desminopathy inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about DES p.Arg369Leu (c.1106G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.3366) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
