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.

In summary, although this is a novel truncating variant, truncating variants in this region of the TTN gene have been shown to be highly prevalent in the TTN gene in the general population and unaffected individuals (PMID: 26701604, 22335739). However, truncating mutations in this region have also been reported to cause autosomal recessive congenital myopathy (PMID: 23975875). Therefore without additional functional and/or genetic data, this variant has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TTN-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the TTN gene (p.Lys15632Argfs*20). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated TTN protein. -
