Invitae | RCV000696133 | SCV000824681 | uncertain significance | Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G; Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J | 2023-11-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 28 of the TTN gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in a truncated or disrupted 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: 498207). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant is located in the Z band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Variants in this region may be clinically relevant, but have not been definitively shown to cause cardiomyopathy or neuromuscular disease (PMID: 27493940, 32778822). 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. |
Ambry Genetics | RCV002368004 | SCV002657876 | uncertain significance | Cardiovascular phenotype | 2019-12-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.6370+1G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 26 of the TTN gene. Exon 26 is located in the near Z-disk/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%). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to abolish the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. This alteration disrupts the canonical splice site and is expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While loss of function variants in TTN are present in 1-3% of the general population, truncating variants (a category that includes canonical splice site 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; Schafer S et al. Nat. Genet., 2017 01;49:46-53). 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 01;49:46-53). Based on available evidence to date, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |
