Genes affected
TPM1 (HGNC:12010): (tropomyosin 1) This gene is a member of the tropomyosin family of highly conserved, widely distributed actin-binding proteins involved in the contractile system of striated and smooth muscles and the cytoskeleton of non-muscle cells. Tropomyosin is composed of two alpha-helical chains arranged as a coiled-coil. It is polymerized end to end along the two grooves of actin filaments and provides stability to the filaments. The encoded protein is one type of alpha helical chain that forms the predominant tropomyosin of striated muscle, where it also functions in association with the troponin complex to regulate the calcium-dependent interaction of actin and myosin during muscle contraction. In smooth muscle and non-muscle cells, alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding a range of isoforms have been described. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 3 familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy 1Y. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2022]

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect as this variant alters the binding affinity of tropomyosin for actin (PMID: 23700264, 23508784, 25548289); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12860912, 20965760, 23508784, 23071391, 18533079, 27532257, 25524337, 21823217, 23700264, 22112859, 21835320, 30297972, 31308319, 32882290, 30240712, 34011823, 30847666, 35626289, 36964972, 37652022, 37466024, 33495597, 37946154, 33495596, 24793961, 36555368, 25548289) -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

The p.Met281Thr variant in TPM1 has been reported in at least 13 individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and segregated with disease in 3 affected relatives from 3 families (Van Driest 2003 PMID: 12860912, Olivotto 2008 PMID: 18533079, Otsuka 2012 PMID: 22112859, Sequeira 2013 PMID: 23508784, Coppini 2014 PMID:255224337, Tran Vu 2019 PMID: 31308319, LMM data). It has also been reported in 1 individual with DCM and in the compound heterozygous state with another TPM1 variant in 1 individual with RCM (Dorsch 2021 PMID: 32882290, Nguyen 2021 PMID: 34011823). This variant has also been reported in by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 31885) and has been identified in 0.0008% (1/113468) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Met281Thr variant may impact protein function (Sequeira 2013 PMID: 23508784, Gupte 2015 PMID: 25548289, Dorsch 2021 PMID: 32882290). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant HCM.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This missense variant replaces methionine with threonine at codon 281 in the alternate splicing region of the TPM1 protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. In-vitro functional studies using isolated protein have shown that this variant causes an increased sensitivity to calcium, increased thermal stability, altered myosin interaction with thin filament (PMID: 25548289, 36555368). Additionally, functional studies using patient-derived tissue samples have shown that this variant causes loss of sarcomere striations and loss of intact cardiac muscle fibers as well as increased calcium sensitivity (PMID: 23508784, 32882290). This variant has been reported in over 15 individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 12860912, 18533079, 22112859, 24793961, 25524337, 23508784, 27532257, 30847666, 31308319, 33495596, 33495597) and in one individual affected with restrictive cardiomyopathy (PMID: 32882290). This variant has been identified in 1/250772 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 281 of the TPM1 protein (p.Met281Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs199476321, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 12860912, 18533079, 20965760, 21835320, 22112859, 25524337, 27532257; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 31885). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TPM1 function (PMID: 25548289). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.842T>C (p.M281T) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the TPM1 gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 842, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 281 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on data from gnomAD, the C allele has an overall frequency of <0.001% (1/250772) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.001% (1/113468) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This alteration has been reported in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and co-segregation was reported in affected family members in some cases (Van Driest, 2003; Olivotto, 2008; Coppini, 2014; Otsuka, 2012; Walsh, 2017; Tran Vu, 2019). This variant was also reported in a child with restrictive cardiomyopathy, who had an additional TPM1 variant detected in trans; her mother and maternal uncle were asymptomatic carriers for only p.M281T, although the uncle reportedly showed mild left ventricular hypertrophy (Dorsch, 2021). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Studies suggest this alteration has an impact on protein function, but the clinical relevance of these findings is uncertain (Gupte, 2015; Dorsch, 2021). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
