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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Y631C variant (also known as c.1892A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the PKP2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1892. The tyrosine at codon 631 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been detected in cohorts with confirmed or suspected arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; however, clinical details were limited and, in one family, the variant was reported to not co-segregate with phenotype (Barahona-Dussault C et al. Clin Genet, 2010 Jan;77:37-48; Rasmussen TB et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2014 Jun;7:230-40). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 631 of the PKP2 protein (p.Tyr631Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 24704780). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406548). 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. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces tyrosine with cysteine at codon 631 of the PKP2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with, or suspected of having, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19863551, 24704780). In one of these families, the variant was reported not to segregate with the phenotype in the family (PMID: 24704780). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces tyrosine with cysteine at codon 631 of the PKP2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with, or suspected of having, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19863551, 24704780). In one of these families, the variant was reported not to segregate with the phenotype in the family (PMID: 24704780). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
