Atlas of <i>DES</i> (desmin) variants: Impact of variants located within the head domain on filament assembly
2023-08-12
Abstract excerpt
Desmin is a muscle-specific intermediate filament protein, which plays a significant role in providing structural integrity of cardiomyocytes by connecting different cell organelles and multi-protein complexes. DES mutations cause cardiomyopathies and skeletal myopathies. Most of these pathogenic mutations are localized in the highly conserved rod domain and affect the filament assembly. However, the impact of...
