Genes affected
TTR (HGNC:12405): (transthyretin) This gene encodes one of the three prealbumins, which include alpha-1-antitrypsin, transthyretin and orosomucoid. The encoded protein, transthyretin, is a homo-tetrameric carrier protein, which transports thyroid hormones in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. It is also involved in the transport of retinol (vitamin A) in the plasma by associating with retinol-binding protein. The protein may also be involved in other intracellular processes including proteolysis, nerve regeneration, autophagy and glucose homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with amyloid deposition, predominantly affecting peripheral nerves or the heart, while a small percentage of the gene mutations are non-amyloidogenic. The mutations are implicated in the etiology of several diseases, including amyloidotic polyneuropathy, euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemia, amyloidotic vitreous opacities, cardiomyopathy, oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis, meningocerebrovascular amyloidosis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Variant summary: TTR c.301G>A (p.Ala101Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the transthyretin/hydroxyisourate hydrolase domain (IPR023416) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251436 control chromosomes. c.301G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Transthyretin Amyloidosis, however often with limited evidence for causality (i.e. lack of segregation data or family history) (e.g. Benson_2003, Connors_2003, Obici_2012, Quarta_2014, Sperry_2018, Damy_2019, Bampatsias_2023). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15123043, 14640030, 30938420, 15645642, 22551192, 24563469, 17338921, 30336828, 37805173). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181696). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

The c.301G>A (p.A101T) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the TTR gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 301, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 101 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (3/251436) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.006% (1/16256) of African/African American alleles. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with hereditary transthyretin-related amyloidosis; including one proband with immunohistochemically-confirmed diagnosis of hereditary transthyretin-related amyloidosis (Connors, 2003; Obici, 2012; Quarta, 2014; Sperry, 2018; external communication). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on internal structural assessment, this alteration leads to destabilization of the native form of TTR that is similar to other established pathogenic variants in the vicinity (Wojtczak, 2001; Ambry internal data). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 101 of the TTR protein (p.Ala101Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs730881165, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of TTR-related conditions (PMID: 21520333; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181696). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Ala101 amino acid residue in TTR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (internal data). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
