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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln638*) 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 present in population databases (rs397517012, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) (PMID: 15489853, 23810883, 24967631, 26743238). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 45049). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1912C>T (p.Gln638*) variant in PKP2 gene, that encodes for plakophilin 2, creates a premature termination codon that is predicted to lead to an absent or truncated protein product. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals (>15) affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVC/D) (PMID:23810883, 15489853, 24967631). Loss of function variants are known to be pathogenic for PKP2 (PMID: 23911551, 15489853, 24704780, 29038103, 34120153). Loss of function variants downstream of this variant are reported to be pathogenic in multiple individuals with ARVC (PMID:15489853, 28431057, 30790397) and classified as pathogenic by several ClinVar submitters (ClinVar ID: 201998). This variant was found to be rare (2/282710; 0.0007%) in the general population database gnomAD and classified as pathogenic by multiple ClinVar submitters (ClinVar ID: 45049). Therefore, the c.1912C>T (p.Gln638*) variant in PKP2 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

The Gln638X variant has been reported in one individual who presented with synco pe, right ventricular involvement, and ventricular tachycardia (Gerull et al, 20 05). In addition, the Gln638X variant leads to a premature stop at codon 638. T his alteration is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of fu nction variants are an established mechanism of disease for the PKP2 gene, which makes it highly likely that the Gln638X variant is pathogenic. -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 9 of the PKP2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in over 30 individuals from multiple families affected with arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 15489853, 23810883, 24967631, 26743238). This variant has been identified in 2/282710 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 the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: PKP2 c.1912C>T (p.Gln638X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 252142 control chromosomes. c.1912C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy (Gerull_2004, Wlodarska_2008, Perrin_2013, Alcalde_2014, Adler_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
