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 a
fibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z-line
structures

    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
