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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser15713Leufs*2) 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, 31983221; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 264325). 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. -

The c.19942_19943delAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 79 of the TTN gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides between nucleotide positions 19942 and 19943, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S6648Lfs*2). This alteration 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 (also referred to as NM_001267550:c.47137_47138delAG, p.Ser15713Leufs*2) has been detected in individuals from dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cohorts or who were reported to have DCM (Hazebroek MR et al. Circ Heart Fail. 2018 Mar;11(3):e004682; Mazzarotto F et al. Circulation. 2020 Feb;141(5):387-398; external communication). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While truncating variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants in the A-band are the most common cause of DCM and TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with DCM regardless of their position in titin (Herman DS et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2012 Feb;366:619-28; Roberts AM et al. Sci Transl Med, 2015 Jan;7:270ra6; Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet., 2017 01;49:46-53). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
