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]

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9

Uncertain:1

May 23, 2024

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 848 of the PKP2 protein (p.Trp848Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs117425357, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 31737537, 35819174). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 464427). 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.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces tryptophan with serine at codon 848 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 reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 7/251448 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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.W848S variant (also known as c.2543G>C), located in coding exon 13 of the PKP2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2543. The tryptophan at codon 848 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in association with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (Marschall C et al. Cardiovasc Diagn Ther, 2019 Oct;9:S292-S298; Dries AM et al. Genet Med, 2021 Oct;23:1961-1968).This amino acid position is highly 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.
