Genes affected
PPA2 (HGNC:28883): (inorganic pyrophosphatase 2) The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, is highly similar to members of the inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) family, and contains the signature sequence essential for the catalytic activity of PPase. PPases catalyze the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate, which is important for the phosphate metabolism of cells. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with infantile sudden cardiac failure (MIM#617222). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to leucine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v2: 44 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - Two alternative amino acid changes at the same position have been observed in gnomAD (highest allele count in: v2, 12 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated pyrophosphatase domain (PDB). (I) 0708 - Other missense variants comparable to the one identified in this case have conflicting previous evidence for pathogenicity. p.(Arg127Cys) has been reported as compound heterozygous in a child with epilepsy and recurrent acute cardiac failure (PMID: 33826954), and is listed in ClinVar as a VUS. p.(Arg127His) has been reported as a VUS in ClinVar. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been reported in five unrelated families with children suffering sudden cardiac failure during early childhood or alcohol-induced sudden cardiac arrest during their teens, and in one asymptomatic 10-year old child (PMIDs: 27523597, 31705601, 34400813). It has also been reported as likely pathogenic by multiple clinical testing laboratories (ClinVar). (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Enzyme activity in the recombinant PPA2 protein harbouring R127L was significantly decreased compared to a wild-type control (PMID: 34400813). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

The c.380G>T variant is present in 48/270550 individuals in the gnomAD control population in heterozygous form, and has previously been reported in compound heterozygosity with another likely pathogenic PPA2 variant in a single infant with sudden infantile cardiac failure (Kennedy et al (2016) Am J Hum Genet 99(3):674-682). This variant was inherited from a heterozygous carrier parent. In silico analysis predicts a pathogenic effect on protein function, and the affected amino acid is highly conserved. In view of the evidence, we have interpreted this variant as likely to be pathogenic when inherited with another (likely) pathogenic variant. The c.380G>T variant is also likely to be benign when carried in isolation. -

Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant has a damaging effect on mitochondrial pyrophosphatase enzyme activity (PMID: 34400813); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; A different missense change at this residue (p.(R127C)) has been reported in association with an autosomal recessive PPA2-related disorder (PMID: 33826954); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34758253, 31705601, 27523597, 34930847, Genthe_2023[case report], 37249496, 34400813, 33826954) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 127 of the PPA2 protein (p.Arg127Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs139076647, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of sudden cardiac failure (PMID: 27523597; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372225). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PPA2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.380G>T (p.R127L) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the PPA2 gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 380, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 127 to be replaced by a leucine (L). This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other variant(s) in this same gene in individual(s) with features consistent with PPA2-related early sudden cardiac failure and segregated with disease in at least one family (Kennedy, 2016; Phoon, 2020; Guimier, 2021). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to disrupt a region of known function (Bezpalaya, 2025). In an assay testing PPA2 function, this variant showed a functionally abnormal result (Guimier, 2021). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
