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.

Variant summary: TTR c.88T>G (p.Cys30Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Transthyretin/hydroxyisourate hydrolase domain (IPR023416) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251476 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.88T>G has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis (example: Quarta_2017). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28605421). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1765057). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

The p.C30G variant (also known as c.88T>G), located in coding exon 2 of the TTR gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 88. The cysteine at codon 30 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Based on internal structural analysis, this variant does not appear to have a substantial impact on the structure or interactions of TTR in the soluble or amyloid form (Wojtczak A et al. Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr, 1996 Jul;52:758-65; Schmidt M et al. Nat Commun, 2019 11;10:5008). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
