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]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The p.Gly4360fs variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopa thy or in large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a framesh ift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 4360 a nd leads to a premature termination codon 3 amino acids downstream. This alterat ion is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift and o ther truncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM, particularly i f they are located in the exons encoding for the A-band region of the protein (H erman 2012, Pugh 2014). Variants in the I-band, where the p.Gly4360fs variant is located, occur at a greater frequency in controls than in individuals with DCM (Pugh 2014). This decreases the likelihood, but does not rule out that this vari ant has a role in disease. In summary, while the predicted impact of this varian t provides some suspicion for a pathogenic role, its clinical significance is un certain -
