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]

p.Val587Ile in exon 8 of PKP2: This variant was initially believed to be likely disease causing based on its presence in 2 probands with ARVD/C and absence from 600 control chromosomes (Den Hann 2009, Basso 2006, Albuisson 2007). However, s everal studies identified this variant in 0.2%-0.8% of healthy control chromosom es (Christensen 2010: 3/1300; Fressart 2010: 3/600; Barahona-Dussault 2010: 0.08 %). Furthermore, it has been identified in 0.4% (252/66718) of European chromoso mes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; d bSNP rs146102241). In summary, we cannot rule out that this variant modifies dis ease severity, but believe that it is unlikely disease causing when present in i solation. -

Variant summary: PKP2 c.1759G>A (p.Val587Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Armadillo (IPR000225) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0025 in 254134 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0036 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3.35 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PKP2 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.0011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.1759G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy (DenHaan_2009, Haas_2015, teRiele_2013, Baskin_2013, Basso_2006, Leong_2017, Connell_2018), but also in controls (Basso_2006, Christensen_2009, Fressart_2010, Kapplinger_2011). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant in terms of stable expression and localization to the cell membrane (Kirchner_2012). Eleven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=2), likely benign (n=5) and benign (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -
