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 testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesSep 25, 2019The TTN c.98299_98300del; p.Arg32767fs variant (rs397517776), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 47599). This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) identified on 2 chromosomes out of 280,078. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting 2 nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Moreover, this variant is in the A-band, a zone in the TTN protein disproportionately enriched with truncating variants in patients diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (Roberts, 2015). Overall, the p.Arg32767fs variant meets our criteria for likely pathogenic. -

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:3
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineFeb 07, 2022The p.Arg30199fs variant in TTN has been identified in 1 individual with DCM and 1 individual with HCM (Herman 2012, LMM unpublished data). This variant has also been identified in 2/126166 European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/; dbSNP rs397517776). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 30199 and leads to a premature termination codon 2 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift and other truncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM if they impact the exons encoding for the A-band (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014) and/or are located in an exon that is highly expressed in the heart (Roberts 2015). The p.Arg30199fs variant is located in the A-band in the highly expressed exon 301. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Arg30199fs variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterresearchCardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation TrustOct 08, 2014This TTN truncating variant (TTNtv) was identified in one individual in this cohort and is located in an exon that is highly expressed in the heart. In the seven cohorts assessed, TTNtv were found in 14% of ambulant DCM, 22% end-stage or familial DCM, and 2% controls. Heterozygous nonsense, frameshift and canonical splice-disrupting variants found in constitutive and other highly utilised exons are highly likely to be pathogenic when identified in individuals with phenotypically confirmed DCM. TTNtv found incidentally in healthy individuals (excluding familial assessment of DCM relatives) are thought to have low penetrance, particularly when identified in exons that are not constitutively expressed in the heart. -
Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J;C1858763:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 16, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg32767Glyfs*2) 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 (rs397517776, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 22335739, 25589632; Invitae). This variant is also known as c.93376_93377delAG (p.Arg31126fs). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 47599). This variant is located in the A band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region are significantly overrepresented in patients affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingHuman Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of MedicineAug 13, 2019This TTN variant (c.98299_98300delAG) deletes two nucleotides and is predicted to cause a frameshift and subsequent premature stop codon (p.Arg32767GlyfsTer2) leading to a shortened or absent protein. This variant is located in the A-band of TTN where other pathogenic truncating variants have been described in individuals with DCM (PMID: 25589632). It is present at very low frequency (2/280078) in gnomAD. In addition, it has been described in several individuals with DCM (PMID: 22335739, 25589632). It is therefore considered a pathogenic variant. -

Early-onset myopathy with fatal cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardMay 02, 2023The heterozygous p.Arg32767GlyfsTer2 variant in TTN was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state with a likely variant (ClinVar Variation ID: 489358), in two affected siblings with Salih myopathy. Familial genome analysis confirmed that this variant was in trans with a likely pathogenic variant (ClinVar Variation ID: 489358), which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg32767GlyfsTer2 variant is pathogenic. The p.Arg32767GlyfsTer2 variant has not been previously reported in individuals with Salih myopathy but has been identified in 0.0015% (2/127958) European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs995110630). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 47599) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Invitae, GeneDx, Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine, Robert's Program,Boston Children's Hospital and as likely pathogenic by Eurofins NTD LLC (GA), ARUP Laboratories, Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit,Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine,Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine, and Ambry Genetics, albeit for other forms of TTN-related disease. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 32767 and leads to a premature termination codon 2 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TTN gene is an established disease mechanism of autosomal recessive Salih myopathy. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive Salih myopathy. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3, PM2_Supporting (Richards 2015). -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 17, 2013The c.90595_90596delAG variant, located in coding exon 300 of the TTN gene, results from a deletion of 2 nucleotides between positions 90595 and 90596, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. Frameshift alterations resulting in a truncated protein substantially alter protein structure, and this variant therefore meets ACMG criteria for classification as a mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med 2008;10:294). Furthermore, truncating alterations in TTN were observed at a significantly higher frequency among patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), or 54/203 (27%), compared to patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (3/231, 1%, P=9x10-14) and healthy controls (7 of 247, 3%, P=4x10-5). Among families with multiple relatives with DCM, this study also provided strong data demonstrating segregation with disease (Herman et al. 2012 NEJM 366:619-628). However, the functional consequence of protein truncating alterations in TTN have not been well described, and this specific alteration (TTN c.90595_90596delAG) has not been reported in the literature. Therefore, this variant is likely to be pathogenic; however, due to the uncertainty of the functional and clinical consequences, its significance remains unclear. -
