Genes affected

TNNI3 (HGNC:11947): (troponin I3, cardiac type) Troponin I (TnI), along with troponin T (TnT) and troponin C (TnC), is one of 3 subunits that form the troponin complex of the thin filaments of striated muscle. TnI is the inhibitory subunit; blocking actin-myosin interactions and thereby mediating striated muscle relaxation. The TnI subfamily contains three genes: TnI-skeletal-fast-twitch, TnI-skeletal-slow-twitch, and TnI-cardiac. This gene encodes the TnI-cardiac protein and is exclusively expressed in cardiac muscle tissues. Mutations in this gene cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy type 7 (CMH7) and familial restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). Troponin I is useful in making a diagnosis of heart failure, and of ischemic heart disease. An elevated level of troponin is also now used as indicator of acute myocardial injury in patients hospitalized with moderate/severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Such elevation has also been associated with higher risk of mortality in cardiovascular disease patients hospitalized due to COVID-19. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

TNNI3 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 49 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Pathogenic:1 Uncertain:1

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jan 15, 2016	The likely pathogenic E165X variant in the TNNI3 gene has not been reported as a pathogenic variant or as a benign variant to our knowledge. This variant was not observed in approximately 6,200 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. E165X is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function by protein truncation (loss of the last 46 amino acids). However, no nonsense variants in the TNNI3 gene have been reported in HGMD (Stenson et al., 2014). Most of the pathogenic variants in TNNI3 reported in HGMD are missense substitutions that affect the calcium sensitivity of contraction. While haploinsufficiency is not a well-established mechanism of disease for the TNNI3 gene, other truncation variants have been reported in HGMD (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic. In order to definitively determine its clinical significance, additional data is required. -

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Aug 23, 2023	This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 7 of the TNNI3 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 24793961, 29875424). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Clinical relevance of loss-of-function TNNI3 truncation variants in autosomal dominant cardiovascular disorders is not clearly established. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 19, 2019	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu165*) in the TNNI3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. The current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in TNNI3 cause disease. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 24793961). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 383149). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
