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]

Variant summary: TTN c.32246-8A>G alters a conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.2e-05 in 248098 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00071 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.82 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TTN causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00039). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.32246-8A>G in individuals affected with TTN-related conditions and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96284). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

The 32246-8A>G variant in TTN has not been reported in individuals with cardiomy opathy, but has been identified in 3/3650 African American chromosomes by the NH LBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). This variant is located in the 3' splice region. Computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pa thogenicity. Additional studies are needed to fully assess its clinical signifi cance. -
