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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points.

PM1

In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 6 benign, 10 uncertain in NM_001005242.3

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.25400215).

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 7 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 325 of the PKP2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Brugada syndrome, who also carried a pathogenic variant in the SCN5A gene that could explain the observed phenotype (PMID: 31189615). This variant has also been observed in an individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 37904629). This variant has also been identified in 12/281476 chromosomes 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. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 325 of the PKP2 protein (p.Ala325Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs201803918, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PKP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 568756). 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 tolerated. 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. -

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variant ID# 568756; Landrum et al., 2016) -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.974C>T (p.A325V) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the PKP2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 974, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 325 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
