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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-178543876-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-178543876-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 228308.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr2-178543876-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Gln29522X variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals w ith cardiomyopathy and was absent from large population studies. This nonsense v ariant leads to a premature termination codon at position 29522, which is predic ted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Nonsense and other truncating vari ants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM if they are located in the exons en coding for the A-band (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014) and/or are located in an exon tha t is highly expressed in the heart (Roberts 2015). The p.Gln29522X variant is lo cated in the highly expressed exon 295 in the A-band. In summary, this variant is likely pathogenic, though additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance. -
