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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 09, 2023	This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 796 of the PKP2 protein (p.Cys796Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (PMID: 21636032, 23871674). It is commonly reported in individuals of Dutch ancestry (PMID: 21636032, 23871674). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 201965). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PKP2 function (PMID: 22781308, 23863954). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.C796R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2386T>C), located in coding exon 12 of the PKP2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 2386. The cysteine at codon 796 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in numerous individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), noting it as a founder mutation in the Dutch population (Gerull B et al. Nat Genet, 2004 Nov;36:1162-4; van Tintelen JP et al. Circulation, 2006 Apr;113:1650-8; Campian ME et al. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging, 2010 Nov;37:2079-85; Kirchner F et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2012 Aug;5:400-11; Noorman M et al. Heart Rhythm, 2013 Feb;10:283-9; Marschall C et al. Cardiovasc Diagn Ther, 2019 Oct;9:S292-S298; Svensson A et al. Cardiology, 2021 Sep;146:763-771). Additionally, an in vitro study showed this alteration leads to protein instability and degradation (Kirchner F et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2012 Aug;5:400-11). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Variant summary: PKP2 c.2386T>C (p.Cys796Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the armadillo domain (Kirchner_2012) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251444 control chromosomes. c.2386T>C has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy and has been reported as a Dutch founder mutation (eg. Kirchner_2012, Cox_2011, Groeneweg_2015, etc). In vitro expression studies demonstrated that the the variant leads to protein instability and degradation involving calpain proteases as well as affecting protein folding, and altering the normal cell membrane localization (Kirchner_2012, Gerull_2013). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
