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]

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingStanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford UniversityJul 01, 2011Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. p.His733AlafsX8 (H733AfsX8; c.2197_2202delCACACCinsG) in the PKP2 gene This variant has been reported multiple times in patients with ARVC (Syrris P et al., 2006; Fressart V et al., 2010; den Haan A et al., 2009; Dalal D et al., 2006). Syrris et al. observed it in 3 families with ARVC. It has also been observed in multiple other unrelated individuals tested for ARVC at GeneDx. This variant is in exon 11. It creates a frameshift beginning with codon Histidine 733, changing this to an Alanine and creating a premature Stop codon at position 8 of the new reading frame. It is expected to result in an abnormal, truncated protein or in the absence of protein from this allele due to mRNA decay. Other frameshift mutations in the PKP2 gene have been reported in HGMD in association with ARVC. The variant has not been seen ~6600 individuals from published controls and publicly available population datasets. Syrris et al. did not detect it in 100 ethnically-matched controls. It is absent from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project dataset, which currently includes variant calls on ~4300 Caucasian and ~2200 African American individuals. The phenotype of those individuals is not publicly available, however the cohorts that were merged to create this dataset were all either general population samples or samples recruited for common cardiovascular disease such as hypertension. -

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMay 26, 2015The p.His733fs variant in PKP2 has been identified in >20 individuals with ARVC and was absent from at least 1600 control chromosomes (Syrris 2006, Dalal 2006, Watkins 2009, Xu 2010, Tan 2010, Fressart 2010, Rajkumar 2012, Baskin 2013, LMM unpublished data - please note that several studies refer to this variant as p.A la733fs). In addition, this variant was observed to segregate with disease in 6 affected relatives from 3 families (Syrris 2006, LMM unpublished data). This var iant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid s equence beginning at codon 733 and leads to a premature stop codon 8 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift and other truncating variants in PKP2 are well-reported in i ndividuals with ARVC (ARVD/C Genetic Variant Database, http://arvcdatabase.info; Human Gene Mutation Database). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to b e classified as pathogenic for ARVC in an autosomal dominant manner (http://www. partners.org/personalizedmedicine/LMM) based upon segregation studies and the pr edicted impact of the variant. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthAug 28, 2023This variant deletes 5 nucleotides and inserts one nucleotide in exon 11 of the PKP2 gene, creating a frameshift and 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 20 unrelated individuals affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 16415378, 16549640, 19880068, 20400443, 20152563, 20857253, 22458570, 23812740, 27532257, 34469894, 16415378, 34469894). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in multiple affected individuals across multiple families (PMID: 16415378, 34469894). This variant has not been identified 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. -

PKP2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 05, 2024The PKP2 c.2197_2202delinsG variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.His733Alafs*8). This variant has been reported in numerous individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVC/D) (see, for example, Syrris et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16415378; Table S2, Philips et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24585727; Table S1A, Walsh et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27532257) and was shown to segregate with ARVC in two families (Syrris et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16415378). It has also been reported in asymptomatic ARVC carriers, which can be attributed to the known reduced penetrance and variable expressivity in PKP2 pathogenic variants (Perrin et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23810883). In gnomAD, the c.2197_2202delinsG variant appears as two separate allele calls (12-32955433-GGGTGT-G; 12-32955439-G-C), but review of underlying data shows the variants are present occur in cis (on the same allele) in 5 heterozygous individuals. Frameshift variants in PKP2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 25, 2021The c.2197_2202delCACACCinsG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 11 of the PKP2 gene, results from the deletion of 6 nucleotides and insertion of one nucleotide causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.H733Afs*8). This mutation has been described in many patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (Dalal D et al. Circulation. 2006;113(13):1641-9; Fressart V et al. Europace. 2010;12(6):861-8; Xu T et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2010;55(6):587-97; Rajkumar R et al. BMC Med Genet. 2012;13:21; Svensson A et al. Cardiology. 2021 Sep [Online ahead of print]). This mutation has shown co-segregation with ARVC in multiple relatives in a family (Syrris P et al. Circulation. 2006;113(3):356-64). In another family, this mutation was reportedly detected in trans with a likely pathogenic variant in PKP2 in two siblings with severe early onset ARVC (Watkins DA et al. Heart Rhythm. 2009;6(11 suppl):S10-7). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Familial isolated arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 14, 2016Variant summary: The PKP2 c.2197_2202delinsG (p.His733Alafs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent PKP2 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations located downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. p.Ser837fs). Mutation taster predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was absent in 121800 control chromosomes while it was reported in several ARVD patients, and segregated with disease in at least one family, indicating causality. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant was classified as pathogenic. -
