Genes affected
TMEM43 (HGNC:28472): (transmembrane protein 43) This gene belongs to the TMEM43 family. Defects in this gene are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 5 (ARVD5), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC5). Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is an inherited disorder, often involving both ventricles, and is characterized by ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and fibrofatty replacement of cardiomyocytes. This gene contains a response element for PPAR gamma (an adipogenic transcription factor), which may explain the fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, a characteristic pathological finding in ARVC.

Submissions by phenotype

Cardiomyopathy Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 04, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 240 of the TMEM43 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 reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, who also carried a pathogenic deletion of exons 1-14 of the PKP2 gene (PMID: 21636032, 23178689, 25820315), which suggests that this missense variant was probably not the primary cause of disease in this individual. This variant has been identified in 48/281274 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. -

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 20, 2021Reported in one individual with ARVD/C who also harbors a deletion of exons 1-4 in the PKP2 gene (Kapplinger et al., 2011; Noorman et al., 2013; Groeneweg et al., 2015). Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variant ID# 198154; Landrum et al., 2016) In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28831623, 23178689, 23299917, 21636032, 25820315) -

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 5 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 18, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 240 of the TMEM43 protein (p.Arg240Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs367910936, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (PMID: 21636032, 25820315). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 202119). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TMEM43 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
