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]

Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J;C1858763:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 16, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg25552*) 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 (rs545954490, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with clinical features of dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 30847666; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Arg22984*. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 404828). 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. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 19, 2023The p.R16487* variant (also known as c.49459C>T), located in coding exon 153 of the TTN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 49459. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 153. This exon is located in the A-band region of the N2-B isoform of the titin protein and is constitutively expressed in TTN transcripts (percent spliced in or PSI 100%). This variant (also referred to as NM_133378.4:c.68950C>T, p.Arg22984* and NM_001256850.1:c.71731C>T, p.Arg23911Ter) has been detected in a genetic testing cohort in an individual reported to have unspecified cardiomyopathy, and in an individual with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (van Lint FHM et al. Neth Heart J, 2019 Jun;27:304-309; Trachoo O et al. PLoS One. 2022 Sep;17(9):e0267770). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While truncating variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants in the A-band are the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2012 Feb;366:619-28; Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med, 2015 Jan;7:270ra6). TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with DCM regardless of their position in titin (Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet., 2017 01;49:46-53). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
