Genes affected
TNNT2 (HGNC:11949): (troponin T2, cardiac type) This gene encodes the cardiac isoform of troponin T. The encoded protein is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of the troponin complex, which is located on the thin filament of striated muscles and regulates muscle contraction in response to alterations in intracellular calcium ion concentration. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well as with dilated cardiomyopathy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingStanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease, Stanford UniversityJan 18, 2012Note this variant was found in clinical genetic testing performed by one or more labs who may also submit to ClinVar. Thus any internal case data may overlap with the internal case data of other labs. The interpretation reviewed below is that of the Stanford Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease. p.Lys210del (K210del; c.629_631delAGA) in the TNNT2 gene; heterozygous This well-studied variant was the first mutation in the human TNNT2 gene that was linked to familial DCM. It has been previously reported in at least 23 unrelated families with a diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy, with moderate segregation data available from multiple families as well as functional data and a mouse model (Kamisago et al. 2000, Morimoto et al. 2002, Robinson et al. 2002, Hanson et al. 2002, Venkatraman et al. 2003, Mogensen et al. 2004, Martins et al. 2006, Du et al. 2007, Hershberger et al. 2009, Sfichi-Duke et al. 2010, Otten et al. 2010, Pugh et al. 2014). Kamisago et al. (2000) found it in 2 unrelated families with DCM. In the first family, it segregated with disease in 3 affected family members across 2 meioses. In the other family it segregated in 3 affected family members across 3 meioses. Hanson et al. (2002) found it in an additional family with DCM, with no good segregation data. In these two studies, the phenotypes of affected family members ranged from severe infantile onset with sudden death to mild disease with death in their 60’s-70’s. However, multiple individuals with this variant died in infancy with confirmed cardiomyopathy, died in their teens following onset of congestive heart failure, or died suddenly in their mid-20s. The majority of affected individuals presented before 30 years of age. Phenotype variably included DCM, sudden cardiac death, atrial fibrillation, 1st-degree AV block, and heart failure. Sudden-onset, rapidly-progressive disease was observed in younger individuals. Mogensen et al. (2004) reported Lys210del segregating in 4 members of one family (3 meioses) with severe DCM necessitating heart transplantation or leading to cardiac death in the second or third decade of life. Martins et al. (2006) found Lys210del in 1 Portuguese family with an aggressive form of DCM, including sudden death or need for transplant in the third decade of life. Hershberger et al. (2009) found Lys210del in at least 3 additional Caucasian families with DCM. In one of those families it segregated with disease across 5 family members (and 4 meioses). Deaths in this family from DCM occurred at ages 1, 12, 16, and 21, with other affected family members living longer. Otten et al. (2010) found this variant in 4 Dutch families; among the 6 total living affected individuals, half of them required heart transplant at ages 12, 18, and 19 years. The 12-year old was a girl with a de novo Lys210del mutation. Mean age of disease manifestation was 33 years. Harvard’s Laboratory for Molecular Medicine has reported it in 11 unrelated probands tested for DCM (Pugh et al. 2014) and classifies it as pathogenic. It has also been observed in other unrelated individuals tested for DCM at GeneDx, according to the report. Lys210del is an in-frame deletion of one of four consecutive Lysine residues in the calcium-sensitive troponin-C binding domain of the cardiac troponin T protein. The Lysine at this location is not completely conserved across 10 vertebrate species sequenced (it is a methionine in X-tropicalis and a threonine in zebrafish). Other nearby variants (within 10 amino acids to either side) have been reported in association with DCM in HGMD: Arg205Leu, Arg205Trp. This variant has been functionally characterized and shown to cause a decrease in maximum speed of heart muscle contraction leading to impaired systolic function and cardiac dilation. The mutant protein has a reduced calcium sensitivity and requires higher free calcium concentrations for force generation and to activate ATPase (Morimoto et al. 2002, Robinson et al. 2002, Venkat -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthJan 08, 2024This variant causes an in-frame deletion of one amino acid in the troponin C binding domain of the TNNT2 protein. Experimental functional studies using rabbit cardiac muscle fibers have shown that this variant causes a disruption to calcium sensitivity (PMID: 11773635, 12923187, 15623536, 15923195). Recombinant human troponin complexes expressing this variant have shown that this variant causes decreased filament mobility (PMID: 12186860, 15923195). Additionally, a mouse model for this variant has shown a recapitulation of the human dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype, including cardiac enlargement, heart failure and sudden death (PMID: 17556660). This variant has been reported in over 20 unrelated individuals affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 11106718, 11862580, 14567970, 15542288, 20031601, 20978592, 22949430, 24503780, 25179549, 31568572). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in multiple affected individuals across at least 10 families (PMID: 11106718, 15542288, 20031601, 20978592, 25179549). This variant has also been reported in an individual affected with left ventricular noncompaction (PMID: 29212898). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 10, 2022The c.629_631delAGA pathogenic mutation (also known as p.K210del) is located in coding exon 12 of the TNNT2 gene. This alteration results from an in-frame AGA deletion between nucleotide positions 629 and 631. This results in the deletion of a lysine residue at codon 210. This alteration, also referred to as K217del, has been previously reported in multiple individuals and families with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Phenotypic features, including DCM, sudden cardiac death, conduction system disease, and heart failure, were reported among individual patients and within and between families varying in age of onset, disease progression, and severity (Kamisago M et al. NEJM. 2000;343(23):1688-96). This alteration has also been reported to occur de novo, and has been detected in cases with ventricular non-compaction (Otten E et al. Neth Heart J. 2010;18(10):478-85; Miller EM et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2017;10(6)). Functional in vitro analyses have reported this alteration to result in reduced cardiac contractile function (Morimoto S et al. PNAS. 2002;99(2):913-8; Venkatraman G et al. J Biol Chem. 2005;280(18):17584-92). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 03, 2017Variant summary: The TNNT2 c.629_631delAGA (p.Lys210del) variant involves the deletion of three nucleotides, resulting in an in-frame deletion of a lysine residue. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant is absent from the large control database ExAC (0/122292 control chromosomes). The variant has been identified in numerous patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (e.g., Walsh_GIM_2017) and segregates with disease in families (e.g., Kamisago_NEJM_2000). Functional studies have shown an aberrant response and sensitivity to calcium ions compared to WT (Robinson_JBC_2002; Morimoto_PNAS_2002). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
