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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 31, 2022Variant summary: TTN c.10360+7240G>T is located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. Although this variant can also be interpreted as c.16516G>T/p.Glu5506X in NM_133379, the location of this variant is at the 3'-end of this transcript. In addition, this transcript is not expressed at high level in the DCM cohort or GTEx (https://www.cardiodb.org/titin). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.1e-05 in 246836 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in TTN causing Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Type 2J, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.10360+7240G>T in individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Type 2J and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJan 25, 2019Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Glu5506X variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 5/8598 of European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs148430495). This variant is located in the last exon of an alternative transcript (Novex-3) and is expected to result in a truncated protein. Although truncating variants in the TTN gene are common in individuals with DCM (Herman 2012), the role of the Novex-3 transcript in cardiomyopathy is unclear. In summary, additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the Glu5506X variant. -

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterresearchCardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation TrustOct 08, 2014This TTN truncating variant (TTNtv) was identified in three individuals in this cohort. It affects only the Novex-3 isoform, which does not span the sarcomere and has not been implicated in DCM. In the seven cohorts assessed, TTNtv were found in 14% of ambulant DCM, 22% end-stage or familial DCM, and 2% controls. Heterozygous nonsense, frameshift and canonical splice-disrupting variants found in constitutive and other highly utilised exons are highly likely to be pathogenic when identified in individuals with phenotypically confirmed DCM. TTNtv found incidentally in healthy individuals (excluding familial assessment of DCM relatives) are thought to have low penetrance, particularly when identified in exons that are not constitutively expressed in the heart. -
