Genes affected
TNNT2 (HGNC:11949): (troponin T2, cardiac type) This gene encodes the cardiac isoform of troponin T. The encoded protein is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of the troponin complex, which is located on the thin filament of striated muscles and regulates muscle contraction in response to alterations in intracellular calcium ion concentration. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well as with dilated cardiomyopathy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 278 of the TNNT2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in seven unrelated individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 22144547, 27532257, 28408708, 28771489, 28790153, 28971120 , 28971120, 33297573). This variant has also been reported in a family affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy including two affected carriers and one unaffected carrier (PMID: 34087240). This variant has been identified in 4/275756 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, p.Arg278Pro, is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 177635), suggesting that arginine at this position is important for TNNT2 protein function. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 278 of the TNNT2 protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a neutral impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in seven unrelated individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 22144547, 27532257, 28408708, 28771489, 28790153, 28971120 , 28971120, 33297573, 34087240). In one family affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, this variant has been reported in two affected carriers and one unaffected carrier (PMID: 34087240). This variant has been identified in 4/275756 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, p.Arg278Pro, is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 177635), suggesting that arginine at this position is important for TNNT2 protein function. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 278 of the TNNT2 protein (p.Arg278His). This variant is present in population databases (rs397516484, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 20624503, 22144547, 27532257, 28408708, 33297573). This variant is also known as p.Arg288His. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 43674). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TNNT2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg278 amino acid residue in TNNT2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12974739, 15958377, 23283745, 24793961). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Uncertain:2

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:research

This TNNT2 Arg278His variant has been reported in 3 HCM probands (Pasquale F, et al., 2012; Walsh R et al., 2017). This variant is present in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). We have identified TNNT2 Arg278His in a proband with HCM, but no family history of disease or sudden cardiac death (Ingles et al., 2017). The proband also carries 2 other variants (TNNT2 c.571-7G>A & MYH7 c.1000-7C>T). Interestingly, different rare variants at this position (Arg278Cys and Arg278Pro) have also been reported in multiple HCM individuals, suggesting that an amino acid substitution at this site may not be tolerated. Computational tools SIFT, MutationTaster, and PolyPhen-2 predict this variant to have a deleterious effect. Based on the adapted ACMG guidelines (Kelly MA, et al., 2018), the variant is rare in the general population (PM2), has been identified in 4 HCM probands and in silico tools predict the variant to be deleterious, therefore we classify TNNT2 Arg278His as a variant of "uncertain significance".

The c.833G>A (p.R278H) alteration is located in exon 16 (coding exon 15) of the TNNT2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 833, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 278 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
