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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly17798Alafs*18) 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 202451). This variant is located in the A band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region are significantly overrepresented in patients affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Gly15230fs variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or large population studies, though the ability of these pop ulation studies to accurately detect indels may be limited. This variant is pred icted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence begi nning at position 15230 and leads to a premature termination codon 18 amino acid s downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift and other truncating variants in TTN are strongly associate d with DCM if they are located in the exons encoding for the A-band (Herman 2012 , Pugh 2014) and/or are located in an exon that is highly expressed in the heart (Roberts 2015). The p.Gly15230fs variant is located in A-band in the highly exp ressed exon 227. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully e stablish its clinical significance, the p.Gly15230fs variant is likely pathogeni c. -

The c.26198delG variant, located in coding exon 105 of the TTN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 26198, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G8733Afs*18). This exon is located in the A-band region of the N2-B isoform of the titin protein and is constitutively expressed in TTN transcripts (percent spliced in or PSI 100%). This alteration, reported with alternative nomenclature c.45689delG, has been detected in a patient who suffered aborted sudden cardiac death and in her sibling with congestive heart failure (Seidelmann SB et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2017 Feb;10:e001573). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While truncating variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants in the A-band are the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2012 Feb;366:619-28; Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med, 2015 Jan;7:270ra6). TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with DCM regardless of their position in titin (Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet., 2017 01;49:46-53). As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
