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]

The p.Gln3838X variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals wi th cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 1/10192 African chromosomes and 1/ 66600 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exa c.broadinstitute.org). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination co don at position 3838 and is located in the last exon of an alternative transcrip t (Novex-3), which is expected to result in a truncated protein. Although trunca ting variants in the TTN gene are common in individuals with DCM (Herman 2012, P ugh 2014), the function of the Novex-3 transcript is unclear. In summary, the cl inical significance of the p.Gln3838X variant is uncertain. -
