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]

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PKP2 c.953A>C (p.His318Pro) 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 0.0037 in 328294 control chromosomes, including 10 homozygotes (gnomAD and jMorp databases (Tadaka_2021)). The observed variant frequency is approximately 5.72 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PKP2 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00065), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.953A>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy, however without strong evidence for causality (e.g., Ohno_2013, Wada_2017). These reports therefore do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33179747, 23514727, 29178656). Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have reported the variant with conflicting assessments: 4 submitters classified the variant as likely benign, and one submitter classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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. -
