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]

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 25, 2023The p.Q5469* variant (also known as c.16405C>T), located in coding exon 63 of the TTN gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 16405. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 63. This exon is located in the I-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 variant (referred to as p.Gln14534Ter, c.43600C>T) has been detected in a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cohort; however, details were limited (Anderson JL et al. Am J Cardiol. 2020 12;137:97-102). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 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). As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 08, 2016The Q12893X variant has not been published as a mutation or reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The Q12893X variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either by protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The Q12893X variant was not observed in approximately 6000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. However, truncating variants in the TTN gene have been reported in approximately 3% of reported control alleles (Herman D et al., 2012). Furthermore, Q12893X is not located in the A-band region of titin, where the majority of truncating mutations associated with DCM have been reported (Herman D et al., 2012). No nonsense mutations in nearby residues have been reported in HGMD in association with DCM (Stenson P et al., 2009). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. -
Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J;C1858763:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 08, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln14534*) 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 (rs727504499, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 32998006). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 178865). This variant is located in the I band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been shown to be highly prevalent in the general population and unaffected individuals (PMID: 26701604, 22335739). However, truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
