Genes affected
TTR (HGNC:12405): (transthyretin) This gene encodes one of the three prealbumins, which include alpha-1-antitrypsin, transthyretin and orosomucoid. The encoded protein, transthyretin, is a homo-tetrameric carrier protein, which transports thyroid hormones in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. It is also involved in the transport of retinol (vitamin A) in the plasma by associating with retinol-binding protein. The protein may also be involved in other intracellular processes including proteolysis, nerve regeneration, autophagy and glucose homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with amyloid deposition, predominantly affecting peripheral nerves or the heart, while a small percentage of the gene mutations are non-amyloidogenic. The mutations are implicated in the etiology of several diseases, including amyloidotic polyneuropathy, euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemia, amyloidotic vitreous opacities, cardiomyopathy, oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis, meningocerebrovascular amyloidosis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 78 of the TTR protein (p.Leu78His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) (PMID: 2613237, 9196903, 17503405, 20209591, 25526974, 27724962). This variant is also known as p.Leu58His. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13420). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TTR function (PMID: 15820680, 19602727). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: The TTR c.233T>A (p.Leu78His) variant indicated to be located in the loop region (Cendron_2009) causes a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide with 4/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index) predict a damaging outcome for this variant. In addition, mutations in this residue (L78R) and in nearby residues (H76R, G77R, T79R, T79K) have been reported in association with amyloidosis, further supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. The variant of interest was not observed in controls (ExAC, 1000 Gs, or ESP) and is a common TTR disease variant that is reported to be detected in >50 published cases, usually presenting with carpal tunnel syndrome and slowly progressing over two decades (Miller_2004). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/databases cite the variant as "pathogenic." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.L78H variant (also known as c.233T>A and L58H), located in coding exon 3 of the TTR gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 233. The leucine at codon 78 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been seen in multiple individuals with familial transthyretin amyloidosis whose symptoms generally included carpal tunnel syndrome, generalized neuropathy, amyloid deposits and positive congo red staining (Nichols WC, et al. Genomics 1989;5(3):535-40; Barreiros AP, et al. Liver Transpl. 2010;16(3):314-23; Connors LH, et al. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1998;1407(3):185-92; Ungerer MN et al. Amyloid, 2020 Dec;:1-9). In two additional studies, a small difference in the crystal structure of this variant compared with wild type was noted and the variant was shown to unfold 90% at 2.5M urea, indicating decreased conformation stability in the folded state (Altland K, et al. Electrophoresis 2007;28(12):2053-64; Cendron L, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2009 Sep; 284(38):25832-41). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Zhang J et al. Environ Sci Technol, 2018 10;52:11865-11874). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
