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]

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Located in the A-band region of TTN in which the majority of loss of function variants have been associated with autosomal dominant titinopathies (PMID: 22335739); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25589632, 27625338, 33534821, 33906374, 22335739, 36264615, 35177841, 31691645, 36396199, 35629941, 34935411, 25326635, 27437901, 33226272, 39310445, 39020067) -

This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant occurs in the A-band of the TTN gene, and is a nonsense variant in three main isoforms (major cardiac long isoform: NM_001256850.1, major skeletal muscle long isoform: NM_133378.4, and the inferred complete isoform: NM_001267550.1). Truncating variants in TTN occur significantly more often in the A-band of cardiomyopathy patients, and in the M-band of muscular dystrophy patients, compared to the general population (PMID: 255289632). Nonsense and other truncating variants in TTN have been reported in patients with dominant cardiomyopathy, dominant tibial muscular dystrophy, recessive salih myopathy, recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, and recessive centronuclear myopathy (OMIM# 188840). However, these types of variants have also been found in healthy individuals (PMID: 25589632). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (PMID: 22335739, 25589632). -

This variant has been previously reported as disease-causing and was found twice in our laboratory: heterozygous (maternally inherited) in a 12-year-old female with dilated cardiomyopathy and paternal family history of dilated cardiomyopathy (who also carried a paternally inherited likely pathogenic variant in BAG3); in trans with a missense variant in a 14-year-old female with global delays, epilepsy, scoliosis, clubbed digits, constipation (who also carried a de novo pathogenic variant in KCNT1). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg22499*) 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 (rs574660186, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 22335739, 34935411). This variant is also known as c.62572C>T, p.Arg20858X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 180573). 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. -

This 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. -

The p.R13434* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.40300C>T), located in coding exon 146 of the TTN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 40300. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 146. 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 alteration (also noted as c.62572C>T and c.67495C>T) has been reported in subjects with 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). 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 supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
