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.

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:2

Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.3, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene. (I) 0104 - Dominant negative is likely a mechanism of disease for this gene since not all truncated transcripts in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) undergo nonsense mediated decay (PMID: 25589632). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease (OMIM). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. TTN NMD-predicted variants have been reported to have incomplete penetrance for DCM (PMIDs: 25589632, 28045975). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated I-disk with an exon PSI score of 1 (PMID: 25589632). (I) 0703 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have moderate previous evidence for pathogenicity (ClinVar). (SP) 0808 - Previous reports of pathogenicity for this variant are conflicting. This variant has been reported as likely pathogenic in a DCM patient related to this individual (PMID: 25589632). Additionally, this variant has one entry in ClinVar, classified as a variant of uncertain significance (GeneDx). (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual.

Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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 -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: research

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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been observed in the literature in individuals with autosomal recessive TTN-related conditions. This variant has been reported in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 29961767, 31112426, 34461741, 36264615); however, the role of the variant in this condition is currently unclear. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 223369). This variant is located in the I band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875, internal data). Truncating variants in this region have also been identified in individuals affected with autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy and/or cardio-related conditions (PMID: 27869827, 32964742, internal data). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
