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 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 12-32850842-A-AG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-32850842-A-AG is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 228287.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Glu435X variant in PKP2 has not been previously reported in individuals wi th cardiomyopathy or in large population studies. This variant is predicted to c ause a frameshift, which leads to a premature stop codon at position 435. This a lteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein. Frameshi ft and other truncating variants in the PKP2 gene are established as disease-cau sing for ARVC. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully est ablish its clinical significance, the p.Glu435X variant is likely pathogenic. -
