RCV001203811 | SCV001374988 | uncertain significance | Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G; Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J | 2019-06-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is located in the A band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Variants in this region may be relevant for cardiac or neuromuscular disorders (PMID: 25589632, 23975875). This sequence change falls in intron 277 of the TTN gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TTN protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TTN-related conditions. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. |
