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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg17736*) 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 present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with atrial fibrillation, dilated cardiomyopathy, and/or sudden infant death syndrome (PMID: 25163546, 28045975, 29544605, 30535219, 31983221, 33996946, 34495297, 35653365, 37652022). This variant is also known as c.C26587T (p.R8863X) and c.26011C>T (p.Arg8671*). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1066067). This variant is located in the A band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region are significantly overrepresented in patients affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The p.R8671* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.26011C>T), located in coding exon 104 of the TTN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 26011. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 104. This exon is located in the A-band region of the N2-B isoform of the titin protein and is constitutively expressed in TTN transcripts (percent spliced in or PSI 100%). This variant (also referred to as p.R8863*, c.26587C>T and p.R17736*, c.53206C>T) has been detected in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), sudden infant death and early onset atrial fibrillation cohorts, and has been reported to segregate with DCM in a family (Haas J et al. Eur. Heart J., 2015 May;36:1123-35a; Franaszczyk M et al. PLoS ONE, 2017 Jan;12:e0169007; Tester DJ et al. J. Am. Coll. Cardiol., 2018 03;71:1217-1227; Choi SH et al. JAMA, 2018 12;320:2354-2364). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While truncating variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants in the A-band are the most common cause of DCM (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2012 Feb;366:619-28; Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med, 2015 Jan;7:270ra6). TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with DCM regardless of their position in titin (Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet., 2017 01;49:46-53). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
