Is DES p.Pro25= (c.75A>T) pathogenic?

DES p.Pro25= (c.75A>T) is classified Likely benign in DES (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-07-25). Very rare (popmax 0.00228%, eas); Associated with myofibrillar myopathy 1.

What condition is associated with DES p.Pro25= (c.75A>T)?

DES p.Pro25= (c.75A>T) is associated with myofibrillar myopathy 1 (ClinVar).

How common is DES p.Pro25= (c.75A>T) in the general population?

DES p.Pro25= (c.75A>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00228%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Desminopathy inherited?

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

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.
