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.

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Val3129fs v ariant in TTN has not been reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or in lar ge population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which al ters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 3129 and lead to a premature termination codon 25 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then p redicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift and other truncati ng variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM, particularly if they are lo cated in the exons encoding for the A-band region of the protein (Herman 2012, P ugh 2014). The effect of heterozygous variants affecting the I-band, where this variant is located is somewhat controversial. In summary, while there is some su spicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of the Val3129fs varian t is uncertain. -
