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]

Variant summary: PKP2 c.1577C>T (p.Thr526Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Armadillo-type fold (IPR016024) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0024 in 278492 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 5.7 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PKP2 causing Arrhythmia phenotype (0.00043), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.1577C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmia. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (PKP2, p.L452*; DSP c.969_974delAAAAGA, p.E324_K325del; DES c.359C>A, p.A120D), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. (Rasmussen 2014, Rasmussen 2013, Brodehl 2013). These authors proposed that the variant of interest might modify the phenotype of other pathogenic variants (Rasmussen 2013) although no conclusive evidence supporting this notion has been published. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as benign (1x), likely benign (4x) or VUS (1x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
