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.24820G>A; p.Glu8274Lys variant (rs72648981; ClinVar Variation ID: 46741) is rare in the general population (<1% allele frequency in the Genome Aggregation Database) and has not been reported in the medical literature in association with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or other TTN-related disease. 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.Glu8274Lys variant cannot be determined with certainty. References: Begay RL et al. Role of Titin Missense Variants in Dilated Cardiomyopathy. J Am Heart Assoc. 2015 Nov 13;4(11). Herman DS et al. Truncations of titin causing dilated cardiomyopathy. N Engl J Med. 2012 Feb 16;366(7):619-28. Linke and Hamdani.

Variant summary: TTN c.21088G>A (p.Glu7030Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the I-band of the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0023 in 241912 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 3.69 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TTN causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.00063), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.21088G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy (Lopes_2013). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (MYBPC3 c.1504C>T/p.R502W; MYH7 c.2539A>G/p.K847E), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -
