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.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This 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; internal data). 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.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is classified as Pathogenic. Evidence in support of pathogenic classification: Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction); Variant is present in gnomAD <0.001 for a dominant condition (v4: 6 heterozygote(s), 0 homozygote(s)); This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as likely pathogenic or pathogenic by clinical laboratories in ClinVar, and has been reported in the literature in individuals with cardiomyopathy (PMIDs: 30847666, 36166435); Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (ClinVar). Additional information: This variant is heterozygous; This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease (OMIM); Variant is located in the annotated A-band and the exon has a PSI score of 100% (PMID: 25589632); Loss of function is known mechanism of disease in this gene. In addition, dominant-negative is also a suggested mechanism. (PMID: 25589632); The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. Variants in this gene that result in a premature truncating codon (PTC) are known to have reduced penetrance in DCM (PMID: 25589632); Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual.

The 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 an individual with 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 variant 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 (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; Akhtar MM et al. Circ Heart Fail, 2020 Oct;13:e006832; Massier M et al. Clin Genet, 2025 Jan). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
