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.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.

Variant summary: TTN c.266C>G (p.Ala89Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Z-disk domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of three in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 251426 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in TTN causing Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Type 2J, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.266C>G in individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Type 2J and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 192099). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.266C>G (p.Ala89Gly) variant in the TTN gene substitutes a highly conserved Alanine for Glycine at amino acid 89/35992 (coding exon 3/363). It is identified in gnomAD (39 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency: 1.379e-4) and ExAC (20 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency: 1.648e-4). In silico algorithms do not agree on the pathogenicity of this variant, as it is predicted both Deleterious (Provean; score: -2.56) and Tolerated (SIFT; score: 0.441) to the function of the canonical transcript. The Ala89 residue is in the Z-disk of the protein, which is involved in myofibril assembly, stabilization, and maintenance. This variant is reported in ClinVar as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VarID:192099). The c.266C>G (p.Ala89Gly) variant has been identified in a single individual with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, however that individual had several additional variants of uncertain significance identified in other cardiomyopathy associated genes [PMID: 30847666]. Given the lack of compelling information regarding the pathogenicity of the c.266C>G (p.Ala89Gly) variant in the TTN gene, it is reported here as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
