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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-178741025-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-178741025-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 47820.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu4070*) in the TTN gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated TTN protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25179549; Invitae). This variant is also known as E3707*. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 47820). This variant is located in the I band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875, Invitae internal data). Truncating variants in this region have also been identified in individuals affected with autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy and/or cardio-related conditions (PMID: 27869827, 32964742, Invitae internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The Glu3832X variant in TTN has been identified by our laboratory in 1 Caucasian individual with DCM and segregated with disease in 4 affected relatives (includ ing 2 affected obligate carriers). It was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 3832, w hich is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss-o f-function of the TTN gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals wi th DCM; however, the majority of truncating variants in TTN associated with DCM occur in the A-band (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014), while this variant occurs in the I -band. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish i ts clinical significance, the Glu3832X variant is likely pathogenic. -
