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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp538*) in the PKP2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PKP2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15489853, 17041889, 23911551). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 16549640, 19863551, 20031617, 20152563, 26743238). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 45036). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
