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]

Arg490Trp in exon 6 of PKP2: This variant is not expected to have clinical signi ficance due to a lack of conservation across species, including mammals. Of note , orangutan, rhesus macaque, baboon, and marmoset have a tryptophan (Trp) at thi s position despite high nearby amino acid conservation. Addtionally, functional studies have shown that this variant does not impact splicing (Gandjbankhch 201 1). It has also been identified in 0.15% (7/4402) of African American chromosom es by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbS NP rs149930872).

Variant summary: PKP2 c.1468C>T (p.Arg490Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00042 in 231024 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00093 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2.16 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 a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. c.1468C>T has been observed inindividuals affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, sudden unexplained death and cardiac disease (Gandjbakhch_2011, Sanchez_2016, Iglesia_2021). Additionally, one publication reported three siblings, including two reported as affected/possibly affected ARVC and one reported as unaffected, and suggested this variant is not fully penetrant or does not segregate with disease. Moreover, another variant (DSP p.Glu2343Lys) was found in all three family members and may explain the phenotype in these patients (Gandjbakhch_2011). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant (Gandjbakhch_2011). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20400443, 21378009, 33919104, 25676813, 23861362, 27930701, 25650408). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 179026). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was 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. -
