The NM_001267550.2(TTN):c.98759G>A(p.Arg32920Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000384 in 1,613,562 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (β β ). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R32920W) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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.

Missense variants in the TTN gene are considered 'unclassified' if they are not previously reported in the literature and do not have >1% frequency in the population to be considered a polymorphism. Research indicates that truncating mutations in the TTN gene are expected to account for approximately 25% of familial and 18% of sporadic idiopathic DCM; however, truncating variants in the TTN gene have been reported in approximately 3% of reported control alleles. There has been little investigation into non-truncating variants. (Herman D et al. Truncations of titin causing dilated cardiomyopathy. N Eng J Med 366:619-628, 2012) The variant is found in DCM-CRDM panel(s). -

This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 32920 of the TTN protein (p.Arg32920Gln). There is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. This variant is present in population databases (rs752015224, ExAC 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TTN-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 191836). This variant identified in the TTN gene is located in the A band of the resulting protein (PMID: 25589632). It is unclear how this variant impacts the function of this protein. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are unavailable for the TTN gene. 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. -

The p.R23855Q variant (also known as c.71564G>A), located in coding exon 180 of the TTN gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 71564. The arginine at codon 23855 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported as a secondary cardiac variant in an exome cohort (Ng D et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2013 Aug;6:337-46). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
