RCV003226065 | SCV003922167 | likely pathogenic | Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J | 2023-05-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | curation | The heterozygous p.Glu10759ArgfsTer12 variant in TTN was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state with a variant of uncertain significance (NC_000002.12:g.178560118A>G), in one individual with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. This individual also carried a variant of uncertain significance (NC_000002.12:g.178560118A>G), however the phase of these variants are unknown at this time. The p.Glu10759ArgfsTer12 variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy 10. 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 10759 and leads to a premature termination codon 12 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 limb girdle muscular dystrophy 10. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy 10.
