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]

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9 Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 23, 2022This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 238 of the PKP2 protein (p.Pro238Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs560220280, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (PMID: 20400443). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406544). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). 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
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthSep 25, 2023This missense variant replaces proline with leucine at codon 238 of the PKP2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20400443), in at least one individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25163546), and in two individuals affected with or suspected to be affected with an unspecified cardiomyopathy (PMID: 30847666, 37477868). This variant has been identified in 11/251276 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. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 16, 2021The p.P238L variant (also known as c.713C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the PKP2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 713. The proline at codon 238 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in an arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) cohort, as well as a cardiac genetic testing cohort in an individual with another cardiac-related alteration identified (Fressart V et al. Europace, 2010 Jun;12:861-8; van Lint FHM et al. Neth Heart J, 2019 Jun;27:304-309). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
