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 cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:3
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineAug 09, 2010- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthDec 15, 2023The c.1378+1G>C intronic variant of the PKP2 gene is located at the canonical donor splice site of intron 5. This variant has been reported in numerous (>15) individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (PMID: 27194543, 23810894, 23671136, 20400443, 33968641, 28588093, 30830208, 34469894, 30677492, 24704780, 23810883, 25820315). This variant was also identified in the proband, mother and brother in a family, while the mother and brother were asymptomatic carriers (PMID: 33238575). An alteration at the same position, c.1378+1G>A, has also been reported to cause ARVC (PMID:18662195). In-silico computational prediction tools suggest that the c.1378+1G>C variant likely leads to donor loss and disturbs normal splicing, resulting in an absent of disrupted protein product (PMID: 16199547). Loss of function variants are known to be pathogenic for PKP2 gene (PMID: 23911551, 15489853, 24704780, 29038103, 34120153). Loss of function variants downstream of this variant are reported to be pathogenic in multiple individuals with ARVC/D (PMID: 26701096, 15489853, 17010805, 19358943, 20152563) and classified as pathogenic by several ClinVar submitters (ClinVar ID: 517335, 202019, 202035). This variant is found to be rare (1/250730; 0.000003988) in the general population database, gnomAD and interpreted as pathogenic by several submitters in the ClinVar database (ClinVar ID: 45022). Therefore, the c.1378+1G>C variant in the PKP2 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9 Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJun 03, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 45022). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (PMID: 18662195, 20400443, 31386562). This variant is present in population databases (rs397516994, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingClinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. LouisMar 06, 2024The PKP2 c.1378+1G>C variant has been reported in several individuals affected with ARVC (Costa S et al., PMID: 33238575; Fidler LM et al., PMID: 18662195; Fressart V et al., PMID: 20400443; Medeiros-Domingo A et al., PMID: 27194543; van Lint FHM et al., PMID: 31386562). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant by six submitters and is only observed on 1/250,730 alleles in the general population (gnomAD v.2.1.1), indicating it is not a common variant. Computational predictors indicate that this variant would alter splicing, evidence that correlates to an impact of this variant on PKP2 function. Additionally, another variant in the same nucleotide, c.1378+1G>A, has been described in an affected individual and is considered pathogenic (Fidler LM et al., PMID: 18662195, ClinVar Variation ID: 923177). Based on available information and the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 17, 2021The c.1378+1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 5 of the PKP2 gene. This mutation has been reported in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (Fressart V et al. Europace. 2010; 12:861-8; Bhonsale A et al. Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol. 2013; 6:569-78; Medeiros-Domingo A et al. Europace, 2017 Jun;19:1063-1069; Hermida A et al. Eur J Heart Fail, 2019 06;21:792-800; Costa S et al. J Clin Med, 2020 Nov;9:). In addition, an alteration at the same position, c.1378+1G>A, has also been reported in association with ARVC (Fidler LM J et al. Cell Mol Med. 2009; 13:4219-28). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
