About This Section Entrez Gene summary for DES : This gene encodes a muscle-specific class III intermediate filament. Homopolymers of this protein form a stable intracytoplasmic filamentous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with desmin-related myopathy, a familial cardiac and skeletal myopathy (CSM), and with distal myopathies. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: DESM_HUMAN, P17661 Function : Desmin are class-III intermediate filaments found in muscle cells. In adult striated muscle they form afibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z-line structures Gene Wiki entry for DES (Desmin)

DES for disorders About GeneDecksing OMIM gene information: 125660 OMIM disorders : 601419 604765 181400 UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: DESM_HUMAN, P17661
Defects in DES are the cause of myopathy myofibrillar type 1 (MFM1) [MIM:601419]. A neuromuscular disorder characterized by skeletal muscle weakness associated with cardiac conduction blocks, arrhythmias, restrictive heart failure, and by myofibrillar destruction with intracytoplasmic accumulation of desmin-reactive deposits in cardiac and skeletal muscle cells. Note=Mutations in the DES gene are associated with a variable clinical phenotype which encompasses isolated myopathies, pure cardiac phenotypes (including dilated cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy), cardiac conduction disease, and combinations of these disorders. If both cardiologic and neurologic features occur, they can manifest in any order, as cardiologic features can precede, occur simultaneously with, or follow manifestation of generalized neuromuscular disease (PubMed:19879535) Defects in DES are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1I (CMD1I) [MIM:604765]. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death Defects in DES are the cause of neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome Kaeser type (Kaeser syndrome) [MIM:181400]. Kaeser syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with a peculiar scapuloperoneal distribution of weakness and atrophy. A large clinical variability is observed ranging from scapuloperoneal, limb grindle and distal phenotypes with variable cardiac or respiratory involvement. Facial weakness, dysphagia and gynaecomastia are frequent additional symptoms. Affected men seemingly bear a higher risk of sudden, cardiac death as compared to affected women. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of muscle biopsy specimens reveal a wide spectrum of findings ranging from near normal or unspecific pathology to typical, myofibrillar changes with accumulation of desmin 20/241 diseases for DES (see all 241 ): About MalaCards myopathy, desmin-related, cardioskeletal scapuloperoneal syndrome, neurogenic, kaeser type myopathy desmoplastic small round cell tumor spheroid body myopathy emery-dreifuss muscular dystrophy infantile myofibromatosis mixed epithelial stromal tumour atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor fibrous histiocytoma infantile digital fibromatosis inclusion body myopathy malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor malignant giant cell tumor of soft parts dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans alveolar soft part sarcoma cytoplasmic body myopathy malignant fibrous histiocytoma sertoli-leydig cell tumor giant cell tumor 20/36 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for DES (see all 36 ):Leiomyosarcoma Rhabdomyosarcoma Leiomyoma Sarcoma Mesenchymal cell neoplasm Malignant fibroxanthoma Myopathy Vascular cancer Myofibroma Hemangiopericytoma Angiomyolipoma Carcinosarcoma Endometrial stromal sarcoma Fibrosarcoma Carcinoma Fibrous histiocytoma Gastrointestinal stromal tumor Alveolar soft part sarcoma Germ cell cancer Neurilemmoma 10/95 Novoseek disease relationships for DES gene (see all 95 ) About this table
