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]

The TTN c.103688T>C; p.Val34563Ala variant (rs55945684; ClinVar Variation ID: 47662) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with HCM or DCM, though it was not demonstrated to cause disease (Franaszczyk 2017, Lopes 2013). This variant has been observed together with TTN variants p.Leu5742Phe and p.Glu33301Lys in the literature (Franaszczyk 2017, Lopes 2013) and in another individual tested at ARUP Laboratories. This suggests these three variants may occur in cis, although parental testing would be required to confirm this. This variant is rare in the population (<1% allele frequency in the Genome Aggregation Database) and the clinical relevance of rare missense variants in this gene, which are identified on average once per individual sequenced in affected populations (Herman 2012), is not well understood. Yet, evidence suggests that the vast majority of such missense variants do not contribute to the clinical outcome of DCM (Begay 2015). Thus, the clinical significance of the p.Val34563Ala variant cannot be determined with certainty. References: Begay RL et al. Role of Titin Missense Variants in Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

Variant summary: TTN c.95984T>C (p.Val31995Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the M-band region (cardiodb.org) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00053 in 248956 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 1.4 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TTN causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00039). c.95984T>C has been reported in the literature (example: Campuzano_2014). This report however, does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25447171). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 47662). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The p.Val31995Ala variant in TTN is classified as likely benign because it has been identified in 0.08% (21/25012) of Finnish chromosomes and 0.07% (93/128166) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Additionally, this variant has been identified in at least 2 individuals that harbored other disease-causing variants in other cardiomyopathy associated genes (Campuzano 2014 PMID: 25447171, LMM data).

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

The TTN c.103688T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val34563Ala. This variant has been reported in an individual that suffered sudden cardiac death; however, the patient had variants of uncertain significance in TTN and MYH7 (reported as p.Val31995Ala in Campuzano et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25447171). This variant is reported in 0.084% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
