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 Met12789fs variant in the TTN gene has not been reported in the literature b ut has been identified by our laboratory in one individual with DCM and in four unaffected relatives. The presence of this variant in four unaffected relatives suggests that it may have a reduced penetrance or that other genetic or environm ental factors may be contributing to disease in this family. The Met12789fs vari ant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid se quence beginning at codon 12789 and leads to a premature stop codon 4 amino acid s downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein (loss of function). Loss of function variants in TTN are common in pati ents with DCM (Herman 2012). In summary, the severity of the impact to the prote in as well as the high prevalence of loss of function variants in patients with DCM suggests that this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
