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 Uncertain:7Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | Apr 21, 2022 | The PKP2 c.184C>A; p.Gln62Lys variant (rs199601548) variant has been published in multiple unrelated individuals affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia or cardiomyopathy (Bauce 2010, Cerrone 2014, Christensen 2009, Garcia-Pavia 2011, Lahtinen 2011, Sanchez 2016). However, segregation studies demonstrate this variant has been detected in unaffected individuals and failed to segregate with ARVC in at least one family (Bauce 2010, Christensen 2010). Additionally, this variant was detected on the opposite chromosome from a loss of function PKP2 variant in an affected family (Bauce 2010). The variant is reported in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 161332) and is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.029% (33/112,560 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The glutamine at codon 62 is moderately conserved, but computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.441). Functional studies show this variant disrupted interactions with desmoplakin and decreased function (Cerrone 2014, Hall 2009). Due to conflicting information, the clinical significance of the p.Gln62Lys variant is uncertain at this time. References: Bauce B et al.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Center for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago | Mar 30, 2021 | PKP2 NM_004572.3 exon 1 p.Gln62Lys (c.184C>A): This variant has been reported in the literature in at least 6 individuals with ARVC, at least two of which also carried additional disease-causing cardiogenetic variants (van Tintelen 2006 PMID:16567567, Lahtinen 2008 PMID:17521752, Fidler 2009 PMID:18662195, Bauce 2010 PMID:20129281, Christensen 2010 PMID:19955750). Segregation of this variant within families is inconclusive; the variant has been shown to segregate with disease is a small number of families but did not segregate with disease in others (Lahtinen 2008 PMID:17521752, Bauce 2010 PMID:20129281. Christensen 2010 PMID:19955750). This variant has also been reported in an individual with DCM, in an individual with Brugada syndrome, and in a sudden death case (Garcia-Pavia 2011 PMID:21859740, Cerrone 2014 PMID:24352520, Christiansen 2016 PMID:27650956). This variant is present in 0.02% (33/112560) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-33049482-G-T) and is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:161332). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. In vitro studies have shown subcellular localization of this mutant protein similar to wildtype protein, but functional studies have demonstrated abnormal interaction of the protein with desmoplakin and decreased sodium currents, suggesting that this variant may impact the protein (Fidler 2009 PMID:18662195, Hall 2009 PMID:19533476, Cerrone 2014 PMID:24352520). However, these studies may not accurately represent in vivo biological function. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina | Sep 17, 2019 | 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. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. - |

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Feb 27, 2024 | Variant summary: PKP2 c.184C>A (p.Gln62Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 212730 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PKP2 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (0.00014 vs 0.00065), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.184C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (e.g. Lahtinen_2008, Christensen_2009, Bauce_2010), Brugada Syndrome (Cerrone_2014), DCM (Garcia-Pavia_2011, van der Meulen_2022) and HCM (Sanchez_2016). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy. However, this variant does not co-segregate with disease in at least one family (Christensen_2009). Co-occurrence with a pathogenic variant has been reported (PKP2 c.2119C>T, Q707X), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and showed that this variant disrupted interactions with desmoplakin and decreased sodium current (Hall_2009, Cerrone_2014). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 19955750, 20129281, 21397041, 21859740, 27930701, 24352520, 19533476, 36178741). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161332). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. - |

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Feb 01, 2024 | The p.Q62K variant (also known as c.184C>A), located in coding exon 1 of the PKP2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 184. The glutamine at codon 62 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in a variety of clinical phenotypes including arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), dilated cardiomypathy (DCM), Brugada syndrome, sudden unexplained death, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and is often seen with additional alterations in PKP2 and other cardiac-related genes (van Tintelen JP et al. Circulation, 2006 Apr;113:1650-8; Bauce B et al. Heart Rhythm, 2010 Jan;7:22-9; Garcia-Pavia P et al. Heart, 2011 Nov;97:1744-52; Cerrone M et al. Circulation, 2014 Mar;129:1092-103; Christiansen SL et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2016 12;24:1797-1802; Sanchez O et al. PLoS ONE, 2017 Feb;12:e0171893). This alteration has also been detected in unaffected family members and absent in affected relatives with ARVC (Lahtinen AM et al. Int. J. Cardiol., 2008 May;126:92-100; Bauce B et al. Heart Rhythm, 2010 Jan;7:22-9; Christensen AH et al. Cardiology, 2010 Dec;115:148-54). In addition, this variant has been seen in exome cohorts, but cardiovascular history was not provided (Andreasen C et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2013 Sep;21:918-28; Amendola LM et al. Genome Res., 2015 Mar;25:305-15; Dewey FE et al. JAMA, 2014 Mar;311:1035-45). In functional studies, observed results have included decreased connexin43 expression, defects in desmosome assembly, and reduced sodium current (Fidler LM et al. J. Cell. Mol. Med., 2009 Oct;13:4219-28; Hall C et al. Cell Commun. Adhes., 2009;16:15-27; Cerrone M et al. Circulation, 2014 Mar;129:1092-103). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. - |
