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.

The heterozygous p.Gln35860Ter variant in TTN was identified by our study in one individual in the compound heterozygous state, with another pathogenic variant, in one individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). The presence of this variant in combination with a pathogenic variant and in an individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) increases the likelihood that the p.Gln35860Ter variant is pathogenic. This variant has been identified in 0.001083% (3/276994) of chromosomes in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 35860, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TTN gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive LGMD. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for LGMD in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and the presence of a pathogenic variant in an individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PVS1, PM3 (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln35860*) in the TTN gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated TTN protein. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy or early-onset atrial fibrillation (PMID: 30535219, 31407473, 31737537; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant has been reported in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (Invitae); however, the role of the variant in this condition is currently unclear. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 518510). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant is located in the M band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been previously reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive myopathy and muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18948003, 23975875, 24395473). Truncating variants in this region have also been identified in individuals affected with autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy and/or cardio-related conditions (PMID: 27869827, 32964742, Invitae internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Q26795* variant (also known as c.80383C>T), located in coding exon 189 of the TTN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 80383. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 189. This exon is located in the M-band region of the N2-B isoform of the titin protein and is constitutively expressed in TTN transcripts (percent spliced in or PSI 99%). This alteration (reported as NM_001267550.2 c.107578C>T p.Q35860*) has been identified in two individuals in an early onset atrial fibrillation cohort (Choi SH et al. JAMA, 2018 12;320:2354-2364). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While truncating variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants in the M-band have been reported in association with autosomal recessive titinopathies, primarily presenting with skeletal myopathy phenotypes (Ceyhan-Birsoy O et al. Neurology. 2013 Oct 1;81(14):1205-14; De Cid R et al. Neurology. 2015;85(24):2126-35). In addition, regardless of their position, TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), though truncating variants in the A-band are the most common cause of DCM (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2012 Feb;366:619-28; Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med, 2015 Jan;7:270ra6; Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet., 2017 01;49:46-53). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic in association with autosomal recessive titinopathy; however, the clinical significance of this alteration with respect to cardiomyopathy remains unclear. -
