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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.21346152).

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 122 of the PKP2 protein (p.Arg122Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs759377911, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PKP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 464429). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 122 of the PKP2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with unspecified arrhythmia (PMID: 30847666). This variant has not been identified 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R122C variant (also known as c.364C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the PKP2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 364. The arginine at codon 122 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was detected in an arrhythmia genetic testing cohort; however, clinical details were limited (van Lint FHM et al. Neth Heart J, 2019 Jun;27:304-309). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
