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.

TTN-AS1 (HGNC:44124): (TTN antisense RNA 1) This gene encodes a non-coding RNA transcribed from the opposite strand to the titin gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJun 30, 2023The TTN c.44272C>T (p.Arg14758Ter) is a nonsense variant, located in exon 239 of the meta transcript of titin within the I-band, which is highly expressed in cardiac tissue (PMID:25589632). In a meta-analysis of TTN truncating variants in DCM patients and controls, variants in this region were associated with a significantly increased risk of developing DCM (odds ratio 19.5) (PMID:27869827). The p.Arg14758Ter variant has been reported in the literature in one patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID:27532257). This variant is reported in the Genome Aggregation Database in three alleles at a frequency of 0.000026 in the Total population (version 3.1.2). Based on the available evidence the c.44272C>T (p.Arg14758Ter) variant is classified as likely pathogenic for dilated cardiomyopathy. -

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J;C1858763:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 12, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg14758*) 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 present in population databases (rs140743001, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy and/or left ventricular noncompaction (PMID: 27532257, 31737537, 33500567, 33874732; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 202367). This variant is located in the I band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). 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. -
Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJun 03, 2016The p.Arg12190X variant in TTN has been identified by our laboratory in 1 Caucas ian individual with DCM and 1 Caucasian individual with LVNC (LMM data). This va riant has also been identified in 1/67564 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggr egation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs140743001). Th is nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 12190, wh ich is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Nonsense and other tr uncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM if they are located in the exons encoding for the A-band (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014) and/or are located i n an exon that is highly expressed in the heart (Roberts 2015). The p.Arg12190X variant is located in I-band in the highly expressed exon 188. In summary, alth ough additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significanc e, the p.Arg12190X variant is likely pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 18, 2023The p.R5693* variant (also known as c.17077C>T), located in coding exon 66 of the TTN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 17077. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 66. This exon is located in the I-band region of the N2-B isoform of the titin protein and is constitutively expressed in TTN transcripts (percent spliced in or PSI 100%). This variant (referred to as p.R14758X, c.44272C>T and 2:179494977G>A) has been detected in cohorts reported to have dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or who underwent genetic testing for DCM (Walsh R et al. Genet. Med., 2017 02;19:192-203; Vissing CR et al. J Med Genet. 2021 Dec;58(12):832-841) as well as in a 41-year-old male with atrial fibrillation and a normal echocardiogram with no evidence of cardiomyopathy (Ahlberg G et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4316). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While truncating variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants in the A-band are the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2012 Feb;366:619-28; Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med, 2015 Jan;7:270ra6). TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with DCM regardless of their position in titin (Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet., 2017 01;49:46-53). As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoMay 06, 2020The c.36568C>T sequence change results in the creation of a premature stop codon at amino acid position 12190, p.Arg12190*. This sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated TTN protein with potentially abnormal function. This variant is present in 2 individuals in gnomAD with an overall population frequency of 0.008% (rs140743001). This variant has also been reported in an individual with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 27532257). This variant is present in ClinVar and has been classified as either a variant of unknown significance or likely pathogenic by several clinical laboratories (Variation ID: 202367). The Arg12190* variant is located in one of the constitutive exons in the distal I-band region. Truncating variants in this region have been reported in individuals with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875) however truncating TTN variants have been reported in approximately 3% of control alleles (PMIDs: 22335739, 26701604). Due to these contrasting evidences, the clinical significance of the p.Arg12190* change remains unknown at this time. -
