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]

Submissions by phenotype

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMay 20, 2015The p.Phe11948fs variant in TTN has been identified in 1 individual with DCM and VT (LMM unpublished data). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, whi ch alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 11948 and lead s to a premature termination codon 8 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift and other tr uncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM if they are located in the exons encoding for the A-band (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014) and/or are located i n an exon that is highly expressed in the heart (Roberts 2015). The p.Phe11948fs variant is located in I-band in the highly expressed exon 185. This variant has also been identified in 3/47886 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation C onsortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org); however, for diseases with cli nical variability and reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. In summary, although additional studi es are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Phe11948fs v ariant is likely pathogenic. -
Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J;C1858763:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 17, 2022This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe14516Ilefs*8) in the TTN gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated TTN protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs752856716, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TTN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 202536). This variant is located in the I band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been shown to be highly prevalent in the general population and unaffected individuals (PMID: 26701604, 22335739). However, truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). 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. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 10, 2014c.38621dupT: p.Phe12875IlefsX8 (F12875IfsX8) in exon 186 of the TTN gene (NM_001256850.1). The normal sequence with the bases that are duplicated in braces is: GCTG{T}ATTT Although the c.38621dupT variant in the TTN gene has not been reported to our knowledge, this mutation causes a shift in reading frame starting at codon Phenylalanine 12875, changing it to an Isoleucine, and creating a premature stop codon at position 8 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Phe12875IlefsX8. This mutation is expected to result in either an abnormal, truncated protein product or loss of protein from this allele through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. A c.38622dupA mutation (denoted c.38621_38622insA due to a difference in nomenclature), resulting in the same frameshift (denoted p.Ala12873fs), has been reported in a 30-year-old female with DCM and a history of ICD implantation (Herman et al., 2012). However, truncating variants in the TTN gene have been reported in approximately 3% of reported control alleles (Herman D et al., 2012). Furthermore, c.38621dupT is not located in the A-band region of titin, where the majority of truncating mutations associated with DCM have been reported (Herman D et al., 2012). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in DCM-CRDM panel(s). -
