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.

Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Institute of Immunology and Genetics Kaiserslautern	Feb 02, 2024	ACMG Criteria: PVS1, PM2, PP5; Variant was found in heterozygous state -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Jan 03, 2022	Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant (PVS1_VS). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2_M). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000263764, PMID:28152038). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 263764). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TTN-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg29673*) in the TTN gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated TTN protein. -

The R28032X pathogenic variant in the TTN gene has not been reported as a pathogenic or benign to our knowledge. R28032X is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either by protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Other truncating TTN variants have been reported in approximately 3% of control alleles (Herman et al., 2012). However, R28032X is located in the A-band region of titin, where the majority of truncating pathogenic variants associated with DCM have been reported (Herman et al., 2012). Furthermore, the R28032X variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). -

The p.R27105X variant (also known as c.81313C>T) is located in coding exon 281 of the TTNgene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 81313. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 281. Premature stop codons resulting in a truncated protein substantially alter protein structure, and this variant therefore meets ACMG criteria for classification as a mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med.2008;10:294). Furthermore, truncating alterations in TTN were observed at a significantly higher frequency among patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), 54/203 (27%), compared to patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (3/231, 1%, P=9x10-14) and healthy controls (7 of 247, 3%, P=4x10-5). Among families with multiple relatives with DCM, this study also provided strong data demonstrating segregation with disease (Herman DS etal. N Eng J Med. 2012;366:619-628). However, the functional consequence of protein truncating alterations in TTN have not been well described, and this specific alteration (TTNp.R27105X) has not been reported in the literature.In addition, this variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), the 1000 Genomes Project and the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP). In the ESP, this variant was not reported in 6042 samples (12084 alleles) with coverage at this position.Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic; however, due to the uncertainty of the functional and clinical consequences, its significance remains unclear. -
