Abstract
Desmin is a class III intermediate filament highly expressed in cardiac, smooth and striated muscle Autosomal dominant or recessive mutations in the desmin gene (DES) result in a variety of diseases, including cardiomyopathies and myofibrillar myopathy, collectively called desminopathies. Here we describe the clinical, histological and radiological features of a Greek patient with a myofibrillar myopathy and cardiomyopathy linked to the c.734A>G,p.(Glu245Gly) heterozygous variant in the DES gene. Moreover, through ribonucleic acid sequencing analysis in skeletal muscle we show that this variant provokes a defect in exon 3 splicing and thus should be considered clearly pathogenic
