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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-178528273-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-178528273-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 949939.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Mar 16, 2022	This variant is expected to severely impact normal RNA splicing, and consequently, protein structure and/or function. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with myopathy and a second truncating variant in the TTN gene (PMID: 29382405). This variant occurs in the M-band of the TTN gene, and is a canonical splice site variant in three main isoforms (major cardiac long isoform: NM_001256850.1, major skeletal muscle long isoform: NM_133378.4, and the inferred complete isoform: NM_001267550.1). A different canonical splice site variant at this position (c.107377+1G>A) has been reported in combination with a second truncating variant in TTN in multiple individuals with muscular dystrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy, as well as heterozygous in apparently asymptomatic individuals (PMID: 25589632, 28716623, 29435569, 34135346). Truncating variants in the TTN gene occur significantly more often in the M-band of muscular dystrophy patients, and in the A-band of cardiomyopathy patients, compared to the general population (PMID: 255289632). -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 361 of the TTN gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in a truncated or disrupted TTN protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (PMID: 28716623, 29382405, 29435569). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.99673+1G>C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 949939). 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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
