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]

Submissions by phenotype

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 03, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 79 of the PKP2 protein (p.Arg79Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs766802880, gnomAD 0.006%). 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: 533036). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthFeb 05, 2024This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 79 of the PKP2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with cardiovascular disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 7/282746 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 GeneticsAug 02, 2022The p.R79Q variant (also known as c.236G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the PKP2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 236. The arginine at codon 79 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
