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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 12-32868926-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-32868926-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2735823.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr12-32868926-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20400443; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 4 of the PKP2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PKP2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15489853, 23911551). -

The c.1170+1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 4 of the PKP2 gene. This alteration was detected in a genetic testing cohort in one individual reported to have arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), but clinical details were not provided (Walsh R et al. Genet Med, 2017 02;19:192-203). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Another alteration impacting the same donor site (c.1170+1G>A) has been described in a patient with a clinical diagnosis of ARVC (Hermida A et al. Eur J Heart Fail, 2019 06;21:792-800). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
