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]

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Pathogenic. The Phe2878fs v ariant in TTN has not been reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy. Data fro m large population studies is insufficient to assess the frequency of this varia nt. This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the protein?s amino acid seque nce beginning at position 2878 and lead to a premature termination codon 10 amin o acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift and other truncating variants in TTN are strongly ass ociated with DCM and the majority occur in exons encoding for the A-band region of the protein (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014), while this variant occurs in the I-band . Although the data support that the Phe2878fs variant may be pathogenic, additi onal studies are needed to fully assess its clinical significance. -
