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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 06, 2015	p.Arg7422Stop (CGA>TGA): c.22264 C>T in exon 78 of the TTN gene (NM_001256850.1). The Arg7422Stop variant in the TTN gene has not been reported previously as a disease-causing mutation or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. Arg7422Stop was not observed in approximately 6000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Arg7422Stop is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either due to production of an abnormal, prematurely truncated protein, or by absence of protein product due to nonsense mediated mRNA decay. However, truncating TTN variants have been reported in approximately 3% of control alleles (Herman D et al., 2012) and Arg7422Stop is not located in the A-band region of titin, where the majority of truncating mutations associated with DCM have been reported (Herman D et al., 2012). With the clinical and molecular information available at this time, we cannot definitively determine if Arg7422Stop is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in DCM panel(s). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg7739*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TTN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 202434). This variant is located in the I band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been shown to be highly prevalent in the general population and unaffected individuals (PMID: 26701604, 22335739). However, truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). 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. -
