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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 11, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 123 of the TTR protein (p.Arg123His). This variant is present in population databases (rs148538950, gnomAD 0.07%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 26537620, 31554435). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181698). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoNov 24, 2021This sequence change has been previously described in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without amyloidosis phenotype (PMIDs: 26537620, 31554435). This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.064% in the African subpopulation (dbSNP rs148538950). The p.Arg123His change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the TTR protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Arg123His substitution. Due to insufficient evidence and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Arg123His change remains unknown at this time. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 07, 2022The p.R123H variant (also known as c.368G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the TTR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 368. The arginine at codon 123 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was identified in an individual with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), hypertension, and neuropathy; extra-cardiac biopsies were negative for amyloid deposition, and bone scintigraphy was negative (Damy T et al. Eur. Heart J., 2016 06;37:1826-34). This variant was also detected in an additional individual with HCM, no extra-cardiac findings, and negative bone scintigraphy (Lopes LR et al. Amyloid. 2019 Dec;26(4):243-247). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
