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]

Variant summary: PKP2 c.1941T>G (p.Cys647Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251308 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1941T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with hypertrophic and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy as well as ventricular tachycardia (e.g., Lopes_2013, Vischer_2019, Dries_2021, Protonotarios_2022), however without strong evidence for causality (e.g., lack of co-segregation data). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy. A co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (PKP2 c.2197_2202delinsG, p.His733AlafsX8; Vischer_2019), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34120153, 23396983, 35766183, 30765282). Four submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 9 Uncertain:1
Jul 28, 2023
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 647 of the PKP2 protein (p.Cys647Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs767935208, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 30765282). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 567604). 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. -

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces cysteine with tryptophan at codon 647 of the PKP2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 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, who also carried a pathogenic truncation variant in the PKP2 gene (PMID: 30765282), and in another two individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25351510). This variant has been identified in 6/282710 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. -

The p.C647W variant (also known as c.1941T>G), located in coding exon 9 of the PKP2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1941. The cysteine at codon 647 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been reported in a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cohort; however, clinical details were limited, and it occurred in conjunction with variants in other cardiac-related genes (Lopes LR et al. J. Med. Genet., 2013 Apr;50:228-39 (reported as p.C603W)). This variant was also reported in a child with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and heart failure, who had an additional PKP2 frameshift variant also detected (Vischer AS et al. Int J Cardiol, 2019 07;286:99-103). 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. -
