TMPO
protein-codingthymopoietin, the group of LEM domain containing
Gene summary
Through alternative splicing, this gene encodes several distinct LEM domain containing protein isoforms. LEM domain proteins include inner nuclear membrane and intranuclear proteins, and are involved in a variety of cellular functions including gene expression, chromatin organization, and replication and cell cycle control. The encoded alpha isoform is broadly diffuse in the nucleus and contains a lamin binding domain, while the beta and gamma isoforms are localized to the nuclear membrane and contain an HDAC3 interaction domain. The distinct isoforms may compete with each other when acting to chaperone other proteins and regulate transcription. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2019]

TMPO was first reported in relation to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in 1 proband in a single 2019 publication (Huang et al 2019, PMID 31277123). The paper reported the same missense variant (Arg690Cys) previously associated with dilated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Taylor et al 2005, PMID 16247757), but was later disputed based on high frequency in the gnomAD database, which is consistent with a benign variation. The second variant reported (Vadrot et al. 2023 PMID 36672271) is a frameshift mutation (Gly395Glufs*11) found in 1 male proband. The pathogenicity of this variant was supported by limited functional studies in a cell culture model system that showed reduced protein level and expression, with decrease in cell proliferation and mislocalized truncated protein fragments in the cytoplasm, however the mechanism of disease phenotype remains unclear. The mechanism for disease is unknown. This gene-disease relationship is not supported by other experimental studies. In summary, there is limited evidence to support this gene-disease relationship. Although more evidence is needed to support a causal role, no convincing evidence has emerged that contradicts the gene-disease relationship. The relationship between TMPO and autosomal dominant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was originally evaluated by the ClinGen Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Gene Curation Expert Panel (GCEP) in August 2018 and found to have a no known disease relationship classification. It was re-evaluated in April 2023 by the Hereditary Cardiovascular Disease GCEP. As a result of this recuration, the classification has changed to limited.

Rationale: Preventive measures, surveillance (eg, including echocardiography/electrocardiography), and medical management may be helpful to help decrease morbidity
Comments: The onset of symptoms has been described in adults, but surveillance and medical management may be beneficial prior to adulthood

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_001032283.3. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
