Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV001004954 SCV001164484 pathogenic Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J 2018-12-03 criteria provided, single submitter research The heterozygous p.Leu33930TyrfsTer29 variant in TTN was identified by our study in the compound heterozygous state, with a pathogenic variant, in one individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). The presence of this variant in combination with a pathogenic variant and in an individual with LGMD increases the likelihood that the p.Leu33930TyrfsTer29 variant is pathogenic. This variant was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at position 33930 and leads to a premature termination codon 29 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TTN gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive LGMD. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for LGMD in an autosomal recessive manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and the presence of another pathogenic variant in an individual with LGMD. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PM3, PVS1 (Richards 2015).

Ambry Genetics RCV003363042 SCV004053317 likely pathogenic Cardiovascular phenotype 2023-08-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.74594delT variant, located in coding exon 185 of the TTN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 74594, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L24865Yfs*29). 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 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 M-band have been reported in association with autosomal recessive titinopathies, primarily presenting with skeletal myopathy phenotypes (Ceyhan-Birsoy O et al. Neurology. 2013 Oct 1;81(14):1205-14; De Cid R et al. Neurology. 2015;85(24):2126-35). In addition, regardless of their position, TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), though truncating variants in the A-band are the most common cause of DCM (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 majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic in association with autosomal recessive titinopathy; however, the clinical significance of this alteration with respect to cardiomyopathy remains unclear.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV003769408 SCV004589453 likely pathogenic Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G; Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J 2023-12-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu33930Tyrfs*29) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TTN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 813965). 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 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). 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.
