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.

TTN-AS1 (HGNC:44124): (TTN antisense RNA 1) This gene encodes a non-coding RNA transcribed from the opposite strand to the titin gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

Primary dilated cardiomyopathy Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterresearchCardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation TrustOct 08, 2014This 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. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineFeb 22, 2019The p.Glu2119X variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with TTN-associated diseases, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and neuromuscular conditions and was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 2119, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Nonsense and other truncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM if they impact 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). In addition, TTN variants have also been associated with myopathies and other neuromuscular conditions, which usually have autosomal recessive inheritance (Savarese 2016). The p.Glu2119X variant is located in a highly expressed exon in the near Z-disk/I-band region. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for TTN-associated diseases. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2. -
Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J;C1858763:Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 11, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2119*) 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 reported in the literature in individuals affected with TTN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 223343). This variant is located in the Z band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 33449170). 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). 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. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 15, 2022The p.E2073* variant (also known as c.6217G>T), located in coding exon 26 of the TTN gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 6217. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 26. This exon is located in the near Z-disk/I-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 the Jackson Heart Study cohort with alternate nomenclature (p.E2119*, c.6355G>T); however, clinical details were limited (Roberts AM et al., Sci Transl Med 2015 Jan; 7(270):270ra6). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Truncating variants in the A-band of titin are the most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and, regardless of their position, truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with DCM (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2012;366:619-28; Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med. 2015;7:270ra6; Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet. 2017;49:46-53). However, TTN truncating variants have also been reported in 1-3% of the general population (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2012;366:619-28). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
