RCV001044929 | SCV001208753 | likely pathogenic | Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G; Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J | 2024-10-20 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu33814Asnfs*7) 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 individual(s) with clinical features of TTN-related cardiomyopathy (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 842501). This variant is located in the M band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been previously reported in individuals affected with autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive myopathy and muscular dystrophy (PMID: 18948003, 23975875, 24395473). 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, internal data). 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. |
| Ambry Genetics | RCV002379521 | SCV002671302 | uncertain significance | Cardiovascular phenotype | 2018-05-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.74245delG variant, located in coding exon 185 of the TTN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 74245, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E24749Nfs*7). This exon is located in the M-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 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. |
