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 p.Met4938Val variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic or LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs145581345) as “With Uncertain significance allele”. In ClinVar, there are conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity from four submitters: 2x uncertain significance (Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Partners HealthCare Personalized Medicine and EGL Genetic Diagnostics, Eurofins Clinical Diagnostics), 1x likely benign (Biesecker Lab/Human Development Section, National Institutes of Health), and not provided (GeneDx). The variant was identified in control databases in 192 of 281816 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.000681 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 19 of 10342 chromosomes (freq: 0.001837), European (non-Finnish) in 145 of 128398 chromosomes (freq: 0.001129), Other in 7 of 7192 chromosomes (freq: 0.000973), African in 6 of 24944 chromosomes (freq: 0.000241), European (Finnish) in 5 of 25104 chromosomes (freq: 0.000199), South Asian in 5 of 30606 chromosomes (freq: 0.000163) and Latino in 5 of 35322 chromosomes (freq: 0.000142); it was not observed in the East Asian population. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence however 2 of 4 in silico prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder and MaxEntScan) predict the creation of a new 3' splice site. The p.Met4938 residue is not conserved across mammals and other organisms and 3 of 3 computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, BLOSUM, and MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

The TTN c.14812A>G; p.Met4938Val variant (rs145581345; ClinVar Variation ID: 47778) is rare in the general population (<1% allele frequency in the Genome Aggregation Database) and has not been reported in the medical literature in association with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or other TTN-related disease. The clinical relevance of rare missense variants in this gene, which are identified on average once per individual sequenced in affected populations (Herman 2012), is not well understood. Yet, evidence suggests that the vast majority of such missense variants do not contribute to the clinical outcome of DCM (Begay 2015). Thus, the clinical significance of the p.Met4938Val variant cannot be determined with certainty. References: Begay RL et al. Role of Titin Missense Variants in Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

The Met4938Val variant in TTN has been identified by our laboratory in 1 Caucasi an adult with unspecified cardiomyopathy. This variant has also been identified in 0.13% (11/8600) of European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencin g Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs145581345). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis are limited or unavailable for this v ariant. In summary, additional studies are needed to fully assess the clinical s ignificance of the Met4938Val variant. -
