Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001267550.2(TTN):c.60399del(p.Ser20134GlnfsTer9) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S20133S) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-178591325-AT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-178591325-AT-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 178819.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Ser17566fs variant in TTN has been identified by our laboratory in 1 Cauca sian adult with DCM and segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives. It was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frame shift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1756 6 and leads to a premature termination codon 9 amino acids downstream. This alte ration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift an d other truncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM, particularl y if they are located in the exons encoding for the A-band region of the protein (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014), where this variant is located. In summary, although a dditional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Ser17566fs variant is likely pathogenic. -
