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.

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust	Oct 08, 2014	This TTN truncating variant (TTNtv) was identified in one individual in this cohort and is located in an exon that is highly expressed in the heart. In the seven cohorts assessed, TTNtv were found in 14% of ambulant DCM, 22% end-stage or familial DCM, and 2% controls. Heterozygous nonsense, frameshift and canonical splice-disrupting variants found in constitutive and other highly utilised exons are highly likely to be pathogenic when identified in individuals with phenotypically confirmed DCM. TTNtv found incidentally in healthy individuals (excluding familial assessment of DCM relatives) are thought to have low penetrance, particularly when identified in exons that are not constitutively expressed in the heart. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital	Jul 07, 2023	This sequence change in TTN is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon, p.(Arg14762*), in constitutively expressed exon 240 (percentage splice in, PSI, 100%) in the distal I-band. High PSI truncating variants in TTN have a significant association with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 31216868). This variant is absent from the population database gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1. This variant has been reported in at least three probands with cardiomyopathy (PMID: 29961767, 33874732; ClinVar: SCV000189773.1). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG/AMP Guidelines v1.6.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PS4_Supporting -

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. 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). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 223369). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 29961767, 33874732). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg14762*) in the TTN gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated TTN protein. -
