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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PKP2 c.1511-2A>T variant (rs1453983744), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature, but another variant at this nucleotide has been identified in an individual with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy and was shown to alter splicing (Groeneweg 2014). The identified variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 518485) and is found in the general population with an allele frequency of 0.0004% (1/249,604 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant abolishes the canonical splice acceptor site of intron 6, which is likely to disrupt gene function. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 6 of the PKP2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25087486, 38336791). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 518485). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 7, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 25087486). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1511-2A>T intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to T substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 7 in the PKP2 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. In addition, another alteration impacting the same acceptor site c.1511-2A>G, has been detected in an individual with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and shown to result in skipping of exon 7 with a consequent shift in the reading frame (Groeneweg JA et al. Heart Rhythm. 2014;11:2010-7). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
