Cardiomyopathy-Associated Mutations in a Hotspot Region at the C-terminal Part of Desmin Coil-2 Domain Impair the Intermediate Filament Assembly

2025-12-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The DES gene encodes the intermediate filament protein desmin, which connects different multi-protein complexes like the cardiac desmosomes and is highly important for the structural integrity of cardiomyocytes. Pathogenic DES -mutations cause filament assembly defects leading to cardiomyopathies. However, most DES -variants listed in genetic disease databases are currently classified as va...
