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:22
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 20, 2024 | This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 10 of the PKP2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs193922674, gnomAD 0.008%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 15489853, 17010805, 24784157, 25087486, 27335691). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6756). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in altered splicing and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 15489853, 25087486). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine | Jun 02, 2017 | This c.2146-1G>C variant has been reported in over 10 individuals with ARVD/cardiomyopathy with incomplete family segregation [PMID 15489853,17010805, 20525856, 24784157, 25087486]. This variant is located in the invariant splice acceptor site of intron 11. Functional assays showed that this change activates a cryptic splice acceptor site in intron 12 or, alternatively, another cryptic splice acceptor site in PKP2 exon 13 [PMID 15489853]. A variant affecting the same invariant splice site has also been reported in additional patients [PMID 19955750]. This variant has been detected in 6 heterozygous individuals from Europe (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-32955491-C-G). It is thus classified as a pathogenic variant. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | research | Agnes Ginges Centre for Molecular Cardiology, Centenary Institute | Mar 08, 2017 | The PKP2 c.2146-1G>C variant has been reported in multiple ARVC probands (see literature), and has been found to segregate with disease in a few families (Dalal D et al., 2006; Groeneweg JA, et al., 2014; Svensson et al., 2016). The variant affects a canonical splice acceptor site of intron 10 and was found to result in exon 11 skipping and consequently a shift in the reading frame (Groeneweg JA, et al., 2014). The variant is present at a low frequency in the Exome Aggregation Consortium dataset (MAF= 0.00005; http://exac.broadinstitute.org/). We identified this variant in 3 male ARVC probands. 2/3 probands have no family history of disease. The other proband has family history of ARVC and sudden death, and passed away from a cardiac arrest at young age. In summary, based on LOF variants in PKP2 being an established mechanism of ARVC, multiple ARVC probands reported with the variant, cosegregation with disease and rarity in the general population, we classify PKP2 c.2146-1G>C as a "pathogenic" variant. - |

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:6
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health | Jan 08, 2024 | The c.2146-1G>C of the PKP2 gene has been reported in numerous (>30) individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (PMID: 15489853, 16415378, 16549640, 17010805, 18554203, 19279339, 19358943, 19880068, 20031617, 19863551). This variant was found to segregate with disease in several families (PMID: 27335691, 25087486). However, it has also been seen in multiple asymptomatic individuals, suggesting incomplete penetrance (PMID: 17010805, 18554203, 27335691, 23810883). Experimental evidences suggest that this variant causes skipping of exon 11, which results in a frameshift and premature termination codon, leading to severely reduced expression of the PKP2 protein (PMID: 15489853, 19279339, 25087486). Loss of function variants of PKP2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23911551, 15489853). This variant is found to be rare (9/282670) in the general population database (gnomAD) and interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters in the ClinVar database (ClinVar ID: 6756). Therefore, the c.2146-1G>C variant in the PKP2 gene is classified as pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine | Apr 28, 2021 | The c.2146-1G>C variant in PKP2 has been reported in >30 individuals with ARVC (Gerull 2004 PMID: 15489853, Syrris 2006 PMID: 16415378, Dalal 2006 PMID: 16549640, Watkins 2009 PMID: 19880068, den Haan 2009 PMID: 20031617, Asimaki 2009 PMID: 19279339, La Gerche 2010 PMID: 20525856, Fressart 2010 PMID: 20400443, Borahona-Dussault 2010 PMID: 19863551, Cox 2011 PMID: 21606396, Baskin 2013 PMID: 23812740, Philips 2014 PMID: 24585727, Svensson 2016 PMID: 27335691, Walsh 2017 PMID: 27532257, LMM data) and segregated with disease in at least 8 affected relatives from 5 families (Groeneweg 2014 PMID: 25087486, Svensson 2016 PMID: 27335691, LMM data). However, it has also been observed in multiple unaffected individuals over the age of 50, which suggests that penetrance may be reduced (Perrin 2013 PMID: 23810883, Svensson 2016 PMID: 27335691, LMM data). It has also been identified in 0.007% (9/129048) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Please note that for diseases with clinical variability or reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. The c.2146-1G>C variant has been shown to cause skipping of exon 11, resulting in a frameshift (p.Pro716fs) and premature termination 32 amino acids downstream, ultimately leading to a marked reduction of PKP2 protein in the myocardium (Gerull 2004 PMID: 15489853, Asimaki 2009 PMID: 19279339, Groeneweg 2014 PMID: 25087486). Heterozygous loss of PKP2 function is an established disease mechanism in individuals with ARVC. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for ARVC in an autosomal dominant manner; however, it should be noted that penetrance may be reduced.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Aug 26, 2019 | Variant summary: PKP2 c.2146-1G>C is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Two computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing, specifically that the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. This prediction was confirmed by experimental evidence that demonstrated this variant affects mRNA splicing resulting in exon 11 skipping (Gerull_2004, Groeneweg_2014). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251262 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2146-1G>C has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy, including unrelated families where the variant co-segregated with the disease, though incomplete co-segregation was also observed suggesting somewhat reduced penetrance (Dalal_2006, Fressart_2010, Gerull_2004, Groeneweg_2014, Syrris_2006). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Immunohistochemical studies indicated marked reduction of the PKP2 protein level in a myocardium sample from an affected individual (Asimaki_2009). 11 ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford University | Jun 20, 2014 | Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. IVS10-1 G>C (c.2146-1 G>C) in intron 10 of the PKP2 gene (NM_004572.3) Given the strong case data and the fact that many splicing variants in PKP2 have been implicated in ARVC, we consider this variant very likely disease causing. The variant has been seen in at least 37 unrelated cases of ARVC (not including this patient's family). There is weak segregation data. Gerull et al (2004) observed the variant in two of 120 unrelated patients with ARVC of European decent who underwent sequencing of PKP2. Syrris et al (2006) observed the variant in one of 100 white patients from their British ARVC cohort (McKenna's group). Dalal et al (2006) observed the variant in 7 of 58 patients with ARVC in the Hopkins ARVC registry (note that 15 patients in the cohort were also enrolled in the national ARVC registry so may overlap with other reports). The same group reported in a separate paper on two of these families; in one family two affected invidiuals had the variant while in the other family two identical twins both had the variant. This group later reported on analysis of PKP2, DSG2, DSP, DSC2, and JUP in 82 patients with ARVC from the Hopkins registry; 10 patients have this variant, which appears to include the 7 previously reported (den Haan et al 2009). One of these patients had two additional desmosomal variant including a PKP2 missense previously reported with ARVC and a DSG2 missense that has been seen more frequently in both left and right sided cardiomyopathy than in controls and is hypothesized to be a modifier. The Hopkins cases appear to be included in several subsequent publications by their group (Tan et al 2010, Xu et al 2010). Wlodarska et al (2008) in an ESC abstract reported that they observed the variant in one of 42 patients with ARVC who underwent PKP2 screening by DHLPC and sequencing. Ancestry is not noted. Authors are from Italy and Poland. Watkins et al (2009) reported the variant in 1 of 50 unrelated ARVC paitents from their South African registry. Ancestry is not noted. Asimaki et al (2009) include an ARVC patient with this variant in their study on immunhistochemistry findings in ARVC. Unfortunately it is not noted how this patient was ascertained. Given this list of co-authors I suspect the case may come from the Hopkins cohort and thus overlaps with their reports (den Haan et al 2009, Dalal et al 2008). La Gerche et al (2010) analysed desmosomal genes in 47 endurance athletes with complex ventricular arrhythmias with right ventricular morphology. They observed this variant in two of those cases. Unfortunately individual phenotypic data is not provided. Two-thirds of athletes with a pathogenic variant met task force criteria for an ARVC diagnosis. Fressart et al (2010) sequenced five desmosomal genes in 135 patients with ARVC from their French and Swiss cohort and observed the variant in 7 unrelated patients. Borahona-Dussaul et al (2010) observed the variant in one of 23 patients with ARVC from their cohort in Montreal. Cox et al (2011) analyzed five desmosomal genes in their Dutch cohort of 149 ARVC patients and observed this variant in 7 patients. Baskin et al (2013) reported on sequencing of ARVC genes in 195 patients with suspected ARVC either seen in their clinic in Toronto or referred for genetic testing at their Toronto laboratory. Five patients had this variant. Perrin et al (2013) include a patient with this variant in their study on exercise testing in asymptomatic carriers; given the author list this patient was likely drawn from one of the previously published families. Nested RT-PCR on an ARVC patient with this variant showed an aberrant splicing product consistent with altered splicing (Ge - |

This variant has been identified in 9/282670 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of PKP2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. - |

PKP2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | Jan 25, 2024 | The PKP2 c.2146-1G>C variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant is also referred to as c.2014-1G>C using an alternate transcript (NM_001005242.3). This variant has been reported to be causative for arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD; Gerull et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15489853; La Gerche et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20525856; Perrin et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23810883; OMIM #609040). In ClinVar, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic by multiple clinical laboratories (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/6756/). Furthermore, protein truncating variants up and downstream of this variant have been reported to be causative for ARVD (Gerull et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15489853; Bao et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24125834; Walsh et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27532257). This variant is reported in 0.0070% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. - |
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jan 12, 2024 | The c.2146-1G>C intronic variant results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide before coding exon 11 of 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. Based on data from gnomAD, the C allele has an overall frequency of 0.003% (9/282670) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.007% (9/129048) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been observed in numerous unrelated individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and was shown to segregate with disease in multiple families, though penetrance and expressivity were variable (Gerull, 2004; Dalal, 2006; Svensson, 2016). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Functional studies on mRNA demonstrated that this mutation results in exon 11 skipping (Groeneweg, 2014). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. - |
