RCV000603947 | SCV000731667 | likely pathogenic | Primary dilated cardiomyopathy | 2017-05-31 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Ala21895fs variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with DCM or large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frame shift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 2189 5 and leads to a premature termination codon 8 amino acids downstream. This alte ration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Frameshift an d other truncating variants in TTN are strongly associated with DCM if they impa ct the exons encoding for the A-band (Herman 2012, Pugh 2014) and/or are located in an exon that is highly expressed in the heart (Roberts 2015). The p.Ala21895 fs variant is located in the A-band in the highly expressed exon 275. In summary , although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical signi ficance, the p.Ala21895fs variant is likely pathogenic. |

RCV001855252 | SCV002316206 | likely pathogenic | Dilated cardiomyopathy 1G; Autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2J | 2021-05-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TTN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 517403). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala24463Profs*8) in the TTN gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated TTN protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant is located in the A band of TTN (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region are significantly overrepresented in patients affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25589632). Truncating variants in this region have also been reported in individuals affected with autosomal recessive centronuclear myopathy (PMID: 23975875). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
