Internationally adopted variant interpretation guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) are generic require disease-specific refinement. Here we developed CardioClassifier ( http://www.cardioclassifier.org ), a semiautomated decision-support tool for inherited cardiac conditions (ICCs).CardioClassifier integrates data retrieved multiple sources with user-input case-specific information, through an interactive interface, to support interpretation. Combining...

PurposeBiallelic hypomorphic variants in PPA2, encoding the mitochondrial inorganic pyrophosphatase 2 protein, have been recently identified individuals presenting with sudden cardiac death, occasionally triggered by alcohol intake or a viral infection. Here we report 20 new families harboring PPA2 variants.MethodsSynthesis of clinical and molecular data concerning 34 five previously reported 12 novel variants, 11 which were functionally characterized.ResultsAmong individuals, only 6 remain...
