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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 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 2-178575856-CA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-178575856-CA-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 179134.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The Ser20857fs variant in TTN has not been reported in individuals with cardiomy opathy or in large population studies. This frameshift variant is predicted to a lter the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 20857 and lead to a premature termination codon 4 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 and the majority occur in th e A-band (Herman 2012, LMM unpublished data), where this variant is located. In summary, this variant is likely to be pathogenic, though additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance. -
