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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 24, 2024	Variant summary: TTR c.370C>T (p.Arg124Cys) 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 damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.5e-05 in 1614076 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00024 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 7.68 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TTR causing Transthyretin Amyloidosis phenotype (3.1e-05). c.370C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals with clinical features of TTR-related contions (e.g., Saraiva_1999; Maurizi_2020). It has also been identified as a variant of uncertain significance in 6 individuals from a whole exome cohort with unclear phenotypes (e.g., Abouelhoda_2021). 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: 31371117, 10439123, 34380564). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 404412). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

The p.R124C variant (also known as c.370C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the TTR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 370. The arginine at codon 124 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration, which is also known as p.R104C, has been reported in a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) cohort (Mazzarotto F et al. Genet Med, 2019 02;21:284-292; Maurizi N et al. Int J Cardiol, 2020 02;300:191-195). Additionally, this alteration was detected in an individual with neuropathy who was not found to have amyloid deposits in muscle or nerve biopsies, and an in vitro assay showed this alteration may not impact protein function (Grether NB et al. Ann Clin Transl Neurol, 2022 08;9:1252-1263). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 124 of the TTR protein (p.Arg124Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs745834030, gnomAD 0.04%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cardiac amyloidosis and/or sensory axonal neuropathy (PMID: 10439123, 31371117). This variant is also known as Arg104Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 404412). 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 TTR protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
