Genes affected

TTR (HGNC:12405): (transthyretin) This gene encodes one of the three prealbumins, which include alpha-1-antitrypsin, transthyretin and orosomucoid. The encoded protein, transthyretin, is a homo-tetrameric carrier protein, which transports thyroid hormones in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. It is also involved in the transport of retinol (vitamin A) in the plasma by associating with retinol-binding protein. The protein may also be involved in other intracellular processes including proteolysis, nerve regeneration, autophagy and glucose homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with amyloid deposition, predominantly affecting peripheral nerves or the heart, while a small percentage of the gene mutations are non-amyloidogenic. The mutations are implicated in the etiology of several diseases, including amyloidotic polyneuropathy, euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemia, amyloidotic vitreous opacities, cardiomyopathy, oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis, meningocerebrovascular amyloidosis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

TTR (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000371.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 24 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Amyloidosis, hereditary systemic 1 Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 23, 2023	In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 326545). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TTR-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs747545126, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant, c.11_13dup, results in the insertion of 1 amino acid(s) of the TTR protein (p.His4dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the TTR gene. The c.11_13dupATC variant has not been published as pathogenic or been reported as benign to our knowledge. This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The c.11_13dupATC variant results in the in-frame duplication of a histidine (H) residue in the signal peptide region of the TTR protein, denoted p.H4dup. Other in-frame deletions and duplications have been reported in the TTR gene, however, none have been reported in this region (Stenson et al., 2014). Furthermore, the residues adjacent to this duplicated residue are not conserved across species. -

The c.11_13dupATC variant (also known as p.H4dup), located in coding exon 1 of the TTR gene. This variant results from an in-frame duplication of 3 nucleotides at positions 11 to 13. This results in the duplication of a histidine residue at codon 4. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
