RCV000519615 | SCV000621881 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2017-10-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Although the c.97865delC variant in the TTN gene has not been reported to our knowledge, this variant causes a shift in reading frame starting at codon proline 32622, changing it to a leucine, and creating a premature stop codon at position 9 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Pro32622LeufsX9. This likely pathogenic variant is expected to result in either an abnormal, truncated protein product or loss of protein from this allele through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The majority of truncating pathogenic variants reported in association with autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are in the A-band region of titin, while truncating variants in the M-band, where c.97865delC occurs, are typically associated with autosomal recessive skeletal myopathy (Herman et al., 2012). The c.97865delC has not been observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016), though other truncating TTN variants have been reported in approximately 3% of control alleles (Herman et al., 2012). |
