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.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: flagged submission

Collection Method: research

This TTN truncating variant (TTNtv) was identified in one individual in this cohort and is located in an exon with intermediate levels of cardiac expression. In the seven cohorts assessed, TTNtv were found in 14% of ambulant DCM, 22% end-stage or familial DCM, and 2% controls. Heterozygous nonsense, frameshift and canonical splice-disrupting variants found in constitutive and other highly utilised exons are highly likely to be pathogenic when identified in individuals with phenotypically confirmed DCM. TTNtv found incidentally in healthy individuals (excluding familial assessment of DCM relatives) are thought to have low penetrance, particularly when identified in exons that are not constitutively expressed in the heart. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The c.25310-2A>C va riant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy , but has been identified in 0.2% (12/6990) of African chromosomes, including 1 homozygote, by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitut e.org; dbSNP rs6716782). This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) o f the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to alter splicing. However, how this variant will impact the protein is unknown. In summary, while the clinical significance of the c.25310-2A>C variant is uncertain, its frequency suggests t hat it is more likely to be benign. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: TTN c.25310-2A>C is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes the canonical 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. Nonsense, frameshift, and canonical splice-site variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM when they affect exons encoding for the A-band region (PMIDs: 22335739, 24503780) and/or exons constitutively expressed (proportion spliced in [PSI]>0.9) in the primary cardiac isoforms (PMIDs: 25589632, 31216868, 32964742, 27869827); however this is not the case for this variant, as it is expected to affect an exon with a PSI score of 72%. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 1599590 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0021 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 3-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TTN causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00063), suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.25310-2A>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathies, without strong evidence (i.e. segregation data) for causality (e.g. Lopes_2013, Roberts_2015, Choi_2018). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30535219, 23396983, 25589632). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 202355). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
