RCV000219662 | SCV000271274 | likely pathogenic | Primary dilated cardiomyopathy | 2015-05-06 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Pro11260fs variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy or in large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 11260 and leads to a premature termination codon 6 amino acids downstr eam. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift and other truncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DC M if they are located in the exons encoding for the A-band (Herman 2012, Pugh 20 14) and/or are located in an exon that is highly expressed in the heart (Roberts 2015). The p.Pro11260fs variant is located in the I-band in the highly expresse d exon 175. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establ ish its clinical significance, the p.Pro11260fs variant is likely pathogenic. |
Ambry Genetics | RCV000621973 | SCV000737317 | likely pathogenic | Cardiovascular phenotype | 2017-10-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.14288delC variant, located in coding exon 53 of the TTN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 14288, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P4763Qfs*6). This exon is located in the I-band region of the N2-B isoform of the titin protein and is constitutively expressed in TTN transcripts (percent spliced in or PSI 100%). 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 dilated cardiomyopathy (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). TTN truncating variants encoded in constitutive exons (PSI >90%) have been found to be significantly associated with DCM regardless of their position in titin (Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet. 2017 Jan;49:46-53). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. |
Invitae | RCV001046113 | SCV001210001 | uncertain significance | Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G; Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J | 2022-07-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant is located in the I band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have been shown to be highly prevalent in the general population and unaffected individuals (PMID: 26701604, 22335739). However, truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228299). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TTN-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro13828Glnfs*6) in the TTN gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated TTN protein. |

RCV003401128 | SCV004104257 | likely pathogenic | TTN-related condition | 2023-02-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The TTN c.41483delC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Pro13828Glnfs*6). This variant occurs within the I-band region of the titin protein. RNAseq studies from heart tissue indicate this exon is commonly included in TTN mRNA transcripts (PSI of 100%, Roberts AM et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25589632; https://cardiodb.org/titin/titin_transcripts.php). TTN truncating variants are reported in 1-2% of presumably healthy individuals, but occur more frequently in exons with low PSI values (Roberts AM et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25589632; Herman DS et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22335739). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0029% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-179500814-TG-T). Of note, truncating TTN variants in constitutive exons (PSI > 90%) are significantly associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) irrespective of their position in TTN (Schafer S et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27869827). In addition, truncating TTN mutations have also been associated with autosomal recessive congenital myopathy (Ceyhan-Birsoy O et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23975875). Therefore, the c.41483delC (p.Pro13828Glnfs*6) variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic for recessive and dominant TTN-related disorders. |

RCV003987453 | SCV004803479 | likely pathogenic | Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J | 2024-01-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Variant summary: TTN c.33779delC (p.Pro11260GlnfsX6) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 248406 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.33779delC in individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Type 2J and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Nonsense, frameshift, and canonical splice-site variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM when they affect exons encoding for the A-band region (PMIDs: 22335739, 24503780) and/or exons constitutively expressed (proportion spliced in [PSI]>0.9) in the primary cardiac isoforms (PMIDs: 25589632, 31216868, 32964742, 27869827), which is the case for this variant (I band with a PSI score of 100%). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228299). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. |
