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 deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 54 of the TTN mRNA (c.15952delC), causing a frameshift at codon 5318. This creates a premature translational stop signal of the TTN mRNA (p.Leu5318Serfs*34). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to result in disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs778392667, ExAC 0.002%) but has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a TTN-related disease. In summary, although this is a rare truncating variant, truncating variants have been shown to be highly prevalent in the TTN gene in the general population and unaffected individuals (PMID: 26701604, 22335739). Furthermore, this truncation is located outside of a clinically relevant region of the TTN gene (PMID: 25589632). For these reasons it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
