Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_001005242.3(PKP2):c.68del(p.Gly23AspfsTer16) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G23G) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Jun 11, 2019 | This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 1 of the PKP2 mRNA (c.68delG), causing a frameshift at codon 23. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly23Aspfs*16) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in PKP2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15489853). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | provider interpretation | Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford University | Apr 11, 2017 | Given that loss of function variation is a known mechanism of disease in PKP2 and its absence from large population databases, we consider this variant disease-causing and we do feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). This particular variant appears novel. It has not been reported in the literature and is not present in ClinVar. However, loss of function variation is a known mechanism of disease in PKP2. At least two dozen splice variants in this gene have been reported in association with ARVC (see http://www.arvcdatabase.info/). The majority of the disease-associated variants in PKP2 are splicing variants, frameshift, nonsense, or in-frame deletions. In one study 66 of 149 unrelated ARVC patients had such a variant (Cox et al 2011). In contrast, these variants are rare in the general population (Kapplinger et al 2011, NHLBI ESP). A study by Amr et al (2016) also supports the assumption that the PKP2 gene is intolerant to loss of function variation, reporting loss of function variants enriched in cases vs controls (OR: 114). There is no variation at codon 23 listed in the Genome Aggregation Consortium Dataset (gnomAD; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on >140,000 unrelated individuals of African, Asian, European, Latino, and Ashkenazi descent. The average coverage at that site in gnomAD is 31x. - |
