Genes affected
TTN (HGNC:12403): (titin) This gene encodes a large abundant protein of striated muscle. The product of this gene is divided into two regions, a N-terminal I-band and a C-terminal A-band. The I-band, which is the elastic part of the molecule, contains two regions of tandem immunoglobulin domains on either side of a PEVK region that is rich in proline, glutamate, valine and lysine. The A-band, which is thought to act as a protein-ruler, contains a mixture of immunoglobulin and fibronectin repeats, and possesses kinase activity. An N-terminal Z-disc region and a C-terminal M-line region bind to the Z-line and M-line of the sarcomere, respectively, so that a single titin molecule spans half the length of a sarcomere. Titin also contains binding sites for muscle associated proteins so it serves as an adhesion template for the assembly of contractile machinery in muscle cells. It has also been identified as a structural protein for chromosomes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Considerable variability exists in the I-band, the M-line and the Z-disc regions of titin. Variability in the I-band region contributes to the differences in elasticity of different titin isoforms and, therefore, to the differences in elasticity of different muscle types. Mutations in this gene are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 9, and autoantibodies to titin are produced in patients with the autoimmune disease scleroderma.

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J;C1858763:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 11, 2023This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 349 of the TTN gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in a truncated or disrupted TTN protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 22335739). This variant is also known as c.92569+1G>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 180058). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant is located in the A band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region are significantly overrepresented in patients affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineOct 22, 2014The c.89788+1G>C variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or in large population studies. This variant occurs in the i nvariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to c ause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Splice variants and other truncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM, particula rly if they are located in the exons encoding for the A-band region of the prote in (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014), where this variant is located. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, t he c.89788+1G>C variant is likely pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 11, 2023The c.70297+1G>C intronic variant results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 176 of the TTN gene. Exon 176 is located in the A-band region of the N2-B isoform of the titin protein and is constitutively expressed in TTN transcripts (percent spliced in or PSI 100%). This alteration, also reported as NM_001256850.1:c.92569+1G>C, has been reported in two individuals in a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cohort (Herman DS et al. N Engl J Med, 2012 Feb;366:619-28). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. This alteration disrupts the canonical splice site and is expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While loss of function variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants (a category that includes canonical splice site variants) in the A-band are the most common cause of DCM (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2012 Feb;366:619-28; Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med, 2015 Jan;7:270ra6). TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with DCM regardless of their position in titin (Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet., 2017 01;49:46-53). As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
