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.

TTN-AS1 (HGNC:44124): (TTN antisense RNA 1) This gene encodes a non-coding RNA transcribed from the opposite strand to the titin gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.3, offset of -41, new splice context is: taccctatctgaatctgcAGttt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The c.35243-2A> G variant in TTN has been reported in at least 1 individual with DCM, (reported as c.38024-2A>G, Herman 2012), and was absent from large population studies. Thi s variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus seque nce and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Nonsense, frameshift, and other truncating variants in TTN are strongl y associated with DCM if they impact the exons encoding for the A-band (Herman 2 012, Pugh 2014) and/or are located in an exon that is highly expressed in the he art (Roberts 2015). The c.35243-2A>G variant is located in I-band adjacent to th e highly expressed exon 182. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pa thogenic role, the clinical significance of the c.35243-2A>G variant is uncertai n. -
