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.

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

PVS1

Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.001722605 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.5, offset of 27, new splice context is: tggtcctccaactcgcctAGaac. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 262 of 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 present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25163546, 25589632; Invitae). This variant is also known as c.41642-1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 223309). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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). 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. -

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. -

The c.22151-1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 90 of the TTN gene. Exon 90 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 variant has been reported in dilated cardiomyopathy cohorts; however, clinical details were limited (Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med, 2015 Jan;7:270ra6; Haas J et al. Eur. Heart J., 2015 May;36:1123-35a; Felkin LE et al. JAMA Cardiol, 2016 05;1:234-5). RNA studies by one group indicated that this variant (referred to as c.493461G>A) may lead to aberrant splicing resulting in exon skipping; however, experimental data was not shown (Wai HA et al. Hum Mutat. 2022 Jul;43(7):963-970). This alteration disrupts the canonical splice site and is expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While loss of function variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants (a category that includes canonical splice site 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). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
