Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1PM2PP3_StrongPP5_Moderate

The NM_000371.4(TTR):c.391C>A(p.Leu131Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L131L) has been classified as Likely benign.

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.

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 30, 2023The p.L131M variant (also known as c.391C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the TTR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 391. The leucine at codon 131 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration, which is also reported as p.L111M, has been detected in several individuals with transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis and related cardiomyopathy and TTR amyloidosis cohorts (Nordlie M et al. Scand J Immunol, 1988 Jan;27:119-22; Altland K et al. Electrophoresis, 2007 Jun;28:2053-64; Nelson LM et al. Clin Transplant, 2013 Dec;27:203-9; Suhr OB et al. Transplantation, 2016 Feb;100:373-81; Damy T et al. Eur Heart J, 2019 Apr;43:391-400; Caponetti AG et al. JACC Heart Fail, 2021 Oct;9:736-746; Barroso FA et al. Amyloid, 2022 Sep;29:175-183; Dispenzieri A et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis, 2022 Jun;17:236). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
