Genes affected

PKP2 (HGNC:9024): (plakophilin 2) This gene encodes a member of the arm-repeat (armadillo) and plakophilin gene families. Plakophilin proteins contain numerous armadillo repeats, localize to cell desmosomes and nuclei, and participate in linking cadherins to intermediate filaments in the cytoskeleton. This gene may regulate the signaling activity of beta-catenin and is required to maintain transcription of genes that control intracellular calcium cycling including ryanodine receptor 2, ankyrin-B, triadin, and calcium channel, voltage-dependent, L type, alpha 1C. Mutations in this gene are associated with different inherited cardiac conditions including Arrythmogenic Cardiomyopathy, Brugada Syndrome, and Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation. A processed pseudogene with high similarity to this gene has been mapped to chromosome 12p13. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Ala474Thr varia nt in PKP2 has been identified in 7/3738 African American chromosomes from a bro ad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.ed u/EVS/; dbSNP rs138538072). Computational analyses (biochemical amino acid prope rties, conservation, AlignGVGD, and PolyPhen2) suggest that the Ala474Thr varian t may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough t o rule out pathogenicity. This data supports that the Ala474Thr variant may be b enign but is insufficient to rule out a role in disease. Additional studies are needed to fully assess its clinical significance. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PKP2 c.1420G>A (p.Ala474Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00018 in 244150 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0024 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 6 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PKP2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.00043). c.1420G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmia. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with dilated cardiomyopathy (Pugh_2014, Burstein_2020). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 45024). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
