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 TTN c.97114dupA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Arg32372Lysfs*9). This variant occurs within the A-band region of the titin protein in which truncating TTN variants have been found more frequently in dilated cardiomyopathy patients than in controls (Herman DS et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22335739). RNAseq studies from heart tissue indicate this exon is commonly included in TTN mRNA transcripts (PSI of 100%, Roberts AM et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25589632; https://cardiodb.org/titin/titin_transcripts.php). TTN truncating variants are reported in 1-2% of presumably healthy individuals and occur more frequently in exons with low PSI values, indicating that this variant is more likely to be disease causing (Herman et al. 2012. PMID: 22335739; Roberts et al. 2015. PMID: 25589632). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or a large population database , indicating this variant is rare. Of note, truncating TTN variants in constitutive exons (PSI > 90%) are significantly associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) irrespective of their position in TTN (Schafer S et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27869827). In addition, truncating TTN variants have been associated with autosomal recessive congenital titinopathies (Oates et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29691892; Bryen et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31660661). Therefore, the c.97114dupA variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic for recessive and dominant TTN-related disorders. -

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J;C1858763:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg32372Lysfs*9) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 418768). This variant is located in the A band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region are significantly overrepresented in patients affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:1

Feb 24, 2017

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 348 of the TTN mRNA (c.97114dupA), causing a frameshift at codon 32372. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg32372Lysfs*9) and is expected to result in a disrupted protein product. This variant is found in the A-band of this gene. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in the A-band of TTN are significantly overrepresented in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and are considered to be likely pathogenic for the disease (PMID: 25589632). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
