Genes affected

TNNT2 (HGNC:11949): (troponin T2, cardiac type) This gene encodes the cardiac isoform of troponin T. The encoded protein is the tropomyosin-binding subunit of the troponin complex, which is located on the thin filament of striated muscles and regulates muscle contraction in response to alterations in intracellular calcium ion concentration. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well as with dilated cardiomyopathy. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 10, 2023	The p.R131W variant (also known as c.391C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the TNNT2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 391. The arginine at codon 131 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been previously reported in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), and was reported as occurring de novo in a proband with LVNC and LV dilation (Mogensen J et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2004;44(10):2033-40; Klaassen S et al. Circulation. 2008;117(22):2893-901 (reported as c.450C>T); Pugh TJ et al. Genet Med. 2014;16(8):601-8). One study identified this variant in a family with a DCM/LVNC complex phenotype, where it was reportedly absent in the proband's affected parent, though clinical details were limited (Merlo M et al. Clin Transl Sci. 2013;6(6):424-8). Functional studies suggest this variant to result in impaired protein interaction and altered calcium binding properties (Mogensen et al. 2004; Mirza M et al. J Biol Chem. 2005; 280(31):28498-506; Robinson P et al. Circ Res. 2007;101(12):1266-73). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 22, 2017	Variant summary: The TNNT2 c.391C>T (p.Arg131Trp) variant results in a non-conservative amino acid substitution located in the tropomyosin binding domain of the protein (Mogensen_2004, Klaassen_2008). 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 1/116588 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000086, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic TNNT2 variant (0.000175). This variant has been found in 4 probands (1st with DCM, 2nd with LVNC, 3rd with DCM/LVNC, and 4th with DCM) in the reported literature. In the first family, it was found to co-segregate with DCM in at least two affected members. In second family, the variant was found to be de novo in the affected proband; however, it is not specified whether paternity was confirmed. In the third family, affected mother was available for genotyping but she did not carry the variant. From the results of third family, authors assume the variant either to be VUS or disease-causing having reduced penetrance. The unaffected father in the family was not available for genotyping. Though this lack of co-segregation may indicate that it may not be pathogenic, the possibility that another familial variant was explaining the phenotype in the mother which remained untransmitted in the proband cannot be ruled out. In addition, this variant could have a reduced penetrance and could have been transmitted from the unaffected father, or it could have originated de novo. The variant has also been reported in two patients with DCM by LMM/PH (unpublished findings). Several independent functional studies dating from 2004 to 2016 have demonstrated that this variant results in a depressed myofilament calcium sensitivity in alpha-MHC (myosin heavy chains) thereby inducing a more severe DCM-like contractile phenotype against an alpha-MHC background. These results are consistent with an established molecular mechanism of disease due to an alteration in the contractile dynamics in the presence of mutations in TNNT2. Three diagnostic centers via ClinVar interpret the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic, without evidence for independent evaluation. There are also other potentially pathogenic missense variants around this variant (such as such as p.E128K, p.R130C and p.R134G), suggesting a notion that the region may have a functional importance. Taken all evidences together, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic until additional reports demonstrating unequivocal co-segregation with disease in independent families with multiple affected and unaffected members are obtained. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as this variant alters troponin protein-protein interaction and calcium affinity (Mogensen et al., 2004; Mirza et al., 2005; Robinson et al., 2007; Liu et al., 2012; Gollapudi et al., 2016); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32458740, 17932326, 23302633, 24503780, 24817852, 28352236, 34935411, 21551322, 24119082, 15923195, 15542288, 20973921, 25163546, 18056765, 22337857, 27181684, 26183555, 25110706, 22464770, 27757084, 18506004, 27532257, 28611029, 31918855, 33025817, 32618513, 33906374, 22675533) -

The Arg131Trp variant in TNNT2 has been identified in 1 individual with LVNC whe re it was reported to have occurred de novo (Klaassen 2008) and has now been ide ntified by our laboratory in 2 individuals with DCM. It was not identified in la rge population studies. Additionally, studies have shown that the Arg131Trp vari ant alters calcium binding properties of the thin filaments (Robinson 2007, Lui 2012). However, these in vitro assays may not accurately represent biological fu nction. Arginine (Arg) at position 131 is highly conserved in mammals and across evolutionarily distant species and the change to tryptophan (Trp) was predicted to be pathogenic using a computational tool clinically validated by our laborat ory. This tool's pathogenic prediction is estimated to be correct 94% of the tim e (Jordan 2011). In summary, this variant is likely to be pathogenic, though add itional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 131 of the TNNT2 protein (p.Arg131Trp). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TNNT2 function (PMID: 15542288, 15923195, 17932326, 22675533). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TNNT2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12415). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and left ventricular non compaction (LVNC) (PMID: 15542288, 18506004, 21551322, 24119082). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
