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 variant causes a single nucleotide substitution in intron 12 of the PKP2 gene. This variant has been observed in compound heterozygous state with c.224-3C>G variant in the same gene in an individual with early onset arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 30830208). The proband's heterozygous parents were reported to be unaffected with cardiomyopathy. Studies using the proband's heart sample has shown that both c.2490-6T>C and c.224-3C>G variants affect splicing and result in exon 2 skipping and exon 13 extension, respectively (PMID: 30830208). Detailed molecular consequences of these variants were not described in this study but it was reported that the overall PKP2 protein expression in the proband's heart tissue was reduced (PMID: 30830208). This variant occurs at an elevated frequency in the general population and has been identified in 11/251374 chromosomes (11/18392 East Asian chromosomes, 0.0598%) by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in autosomal dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
