Effect in Cardiac Disease

This variant is considered a rare variant and is not detected in the ExAC population database (>60,000 samples).

DCM

There is no significant excess of rare PKP2 Truncating variants in DCM (details).

OMGL: Detected in 0 / 304 DCM patients.

LMM:   Detected in 0 / 123 DCM patients.

ARVC

Rare PKP2 Truncating variants are significantly enriched in ARVC (details) and have an etiological fraction (EF) of 1.00.

OMGL: Detected in 1 / 361 ARVC patients - classified as Class 4-Likely pathogenic.

The EF is the estimated proportion of rare variants of this class that will be pathogenic in a cardiomyopathy proband, a prior probability based solely on variant frequency data in cases and controls, and should be further refined by additional evidence such as family segregation data, known association with disease, population frequency, protein domain analysis, functional studies and in silico algorithms to assess the significance of a variant.

For more information on the clinical significance of this variant, please see the ClinVar entry.

Detection in Population Databases

This variant has not been detected in the ExAC Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database (>60,000 samples), the 1000 Genomes (1KG) database (2,500 samples) or the Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) database (6,500 samples).

The Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) is a database of 60,706 unrelated individuals sequenced as part of various disease-specific and population genetic studies. There is partial overlap between ExAC and 1000 Genomes (1KG) (1,851 of the 2,504 samples in 1KG) and the Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) (3,936 of the 6,500 samples in ESP).
