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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 05, 2022Variant summary: PKP2 c.473G>A (p.Arg158Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.4e-05 in 251440 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00087 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is slightly higher than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PKP2 causing Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00065), suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (likely benign n=2, VUS n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineFeb 07, 2019Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The Arg158Lys variant (PKP2) has been reported in one Asian individual with ARVD/C and was absent in 100 race matched controls (Qui 2009). In another study, the variant was absent in 93 ARVD/C probands but was present in 1/854 control chromosomes from a racially diverse but apparently healthy population (Kapplinger 2011). Identified in 0.085% of East Asian chromosomes in gnomAD. The presence of the variant in a single control is not sufficient to assume a benign riole as a presymptomatic status of this individual cannot be excluded. Arginine (Arg) at position 158 is conserved across mammals but not distant species, and computational analyses (PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD) do not provide strong evidence for or against pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. -
