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]

Submissions by phenotype

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9 Uncertain:1
Sep 02, 2021
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine with arginine at codon 525 of the PKP2 protein (p.Leu525Arg). The leucine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between leucine and arginine. This variant is present in population databases (rs397516998, ExAC 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PKP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 45031). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1
Oct 12, 2023
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with arginine at codon 525 of the PKP2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in one individual affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who also carried two variants of uncertain significance in the MHY7 gene (PMID: 32746448). This variant has been identified in 8/251354 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Reported in ClinVar but additional evidence is not available (ClinVar Variant ID# 45031; Landrum et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function -

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Leu525Arg variant in PKP2 is classified as likely benign because it has been identified in 0.03% (8/30616) of South Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1, BP4. -
