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.

Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Located in a region of TTN in which the majority of pathogenic variants have been reported in association with autosomal recessive titinopathies (Fernandez-Marmiesse et al., 2017; Chervinsky et al., 2018; Bryen, et al., 2020; Savarese et al., 2020); Identified in patients with arthrogryposis who have additional TTN variants, though it is unclear if the variants were confirmed to be on opposite alleles (in trans) in each patient (Ravenscroft et al., 2020); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33820833, 35580751, 28040389, 29575618, 31660661, 32778822, 33060286) -

While this variant is present in population databases (rs761617432), the frequency information is unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in an individual with a TTN-related disease. In summary, this truncating variant is found in the I-band of the TTN protein where truncating variants have been shown to be highly prevalent in the general population and unaffected individuals (PMID: 26701604, 22335739, 25589632). However, truncating variants in the I-band have been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). For these reasons it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 197 of the TTN mRNA (c.38660delA), causing a frameshift at codon 12887. This creates a premature translational stop signal in exon 197 of the TTN mRNA (p.Lys12887Argfs*60). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to result in a truncated TTN protein. -
