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.

The heterozygous p.Arg20641Ter variant in TTN was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state with a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variation ID: 1304094), in one individual with limb girdle muscular dystrophy. Trio exome analysis revealed that this variant was in trans with a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variation ID: 1304094). The p.Arg20641Ter variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with limb girdle muscular dystrophy 10 but has been identified in 0.002% (1/41434) of African/African American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs878854324). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 238819) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by GeneDx and as likely pathogenic by Ambry and Invitae. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 20641, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TTN gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy 10. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for limb girdle muscular dystrophy 10. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_Supporting (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg20641*) 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 (PMID: 29540472, 34315225; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 238819). 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. -
