Is DES p.Thr450Ile (c.1349C>T) pathogenic?

DES p.Thr450Ile (c.1349C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in DES (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-08-04). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9798); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with myofibrillar myopathy 1.

What condition is associated with DES p.Thr450Ile (c.1349C>T)?

DES p.Thr450Ile (c.1349C>T) is associated with myofibrillar myopathy 1 (ClinVar).

How common is DES p.Thr450Ile (c.1349C>T) in the general population?

DES p.Thr450Ile (c.1349C>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (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.Thr450Ile (c.1349C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9798) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
