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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (MIM#609040). On the other hand, dominant-negative is the proposed mechanism for missense variants in this gene (PMID: 23183494, 24967631). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance (PMID: 17010805, 23183494). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. (PMID: 17010805, 23183494). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to tryptophan. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.001 for a dominant condition (v2+v3: 2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0309 - Multiple alternative amino acid changes at the same position have been observed in gnomAD (highest allele count: v2: 3 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated Armadillo/beta-catenin-like repeat (DECIPHER). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been reported in at least ten heterozygous and compound heterozygous individuals with ARVC. It was noted that compound heterozygous individuals presented with an earlier age of onset and severe disease (PMID: 19880068, 20152563, 24967631, 32268277; ClinVar). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1162C>T (p.Arg388Trp) variant in the PKP2 gene has been observed in two unrelated individuals with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) as well as in three unrelated families affected by ARVC with incomplete penetrance (PMID 19880068, 20152563). Both studies reported that this variant was not observed in a large number of ethnically matched controls. Additionally, the gnomAD database reports this variant in 1 out of 246,082 individuals indicating it is not a common variant in general population. The c.1162C>T (p.Arg388Trp) variant in the PKP2 gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 388 of the PKP2 protein (p.Arg388Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs766209297, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19880068, 20152563, 24967631). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 201979). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 388 of the PKP2 protein. Computational tools predict that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant is a recurrent mutation in the South Afrikaner population (PMID 19880068; Machipisa 2016, dissertation, University of Cape Town) and has been observed in seven unrelated individuals affected with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19880068, 24967631, 28472724, 31319917, 32268277). This variant has been observed in compound heterozygosity with a pathogenic truncation variant in individuals from two different families affected with severe, early-onset arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 19880068, 20152563). Heterozygous individuals from these families (PMID: 19880068, 20152563) and another unrelated heterozygous adult were reported to be asymptomatic (PMID: 34135346), consistent with low penetrance expected of pathogenic PKP2 variants. This variant has been identified in 1/251320 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
