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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 12-32824164-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-32824164-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 449736.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the PKP2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PKP2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15489853, 23911551). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19863551, 20400443). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449736). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Although the c.1689-2 A>G variant has not been reported as a pathogenic variant or as a benign variant to our knowledge, it destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 7 and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing. This variant is predicted to lead to either an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. Other splice site variants in the PKP2 gene, including one that impacts the same splice acceptor site (c.1689-1 G>C) have been reported in association with ARVC (Fressart et al., 2010; Stenson et al., 2014). Furthermore, the c.1689-2 A>G variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations.In summary, c.1689-2 A>G in the PKP2 gene is interpreted as a pathogenic variant. -
