<jats:sec> <jats:title>Background:</jats:title> <jats:p>Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited disease characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and progressive ventricular dysfunction. Genetic testing is recommended, and a pathogenic variant in an ARVC-associated gene is a major criterion for diagnosis according to the 2010 Task Force Criteria. As incorrect attribution of a gene to ARVC can contribute to misdiagnosis, we assembled an international multidisciplinary ARVC Clinical Genome Resource Gene Curation Expert Panel to reappraise all reported ARVC genes.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods:</jats:title> <jats:p>Following a comprehensive literature search, six 2-member teams conducted blinded independent curation of reported ARVC genes using the semiquantitative Clinical Genome Resource framework.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results:</jats:title> <jats:p> Of 26 reported ARVC genes, only 6 ( <jats:italic>PKP2</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>DSP</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>DSG2</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>DSC2</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>JUP</jats:italic> , and <jats:italic>TMEM43</jats:italic> ) had strong evidence and were classified as definitive for ARVC causation. There was moderate evidence for 2 genes, <jats:italic>DES</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>PLN</jats:italic> . The remaining 18 genes had limited or no evidence. <jats:italic>RYR2</jats:italic> was refuted as an ARVC gene since clinical data and model systems exhibited a catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia phenotype. In ClinVar, only 5 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (1.1%) in limited evidence genes had been reported in ARVC cases in contrast to 450 desmosome gene variants (97.4%). </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions:</jats:title> <jats:p> Using the Clinical Genome Resource approach to gene-disease curation, only 8 genes ( <jats:italic>PKP2</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>DSP</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>DSG2</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>DSC2</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>JUP</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>TMEM43</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>PLN</jats:italic> , and <jats:italic>DES</jats:italic> ) had definitive or moderate evidence for ARVC, and these genes accounted for nearly all pathogenic/likely pathogenic ARVC variants in ClinVar. Therefore, only pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in these 8 genes should yield a major criterion for ARVC diagnosis. Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants identified in other genes in a patient should prompt further phenotyping as variants in many of these genes are associated with other cardiovascular conditions. </jats:p> </jats:sec>
