RCV004542653 | SCV004800524 | likely pathogenic | TTN-related disorder | 2024-02-21 | no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | The TTN c.78797delT variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Leu26266*). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is located in the A-band region of the TTN protein and other truncating variants in this exon have previously been reported to be pathogenic for recessive and dominant TTN-related disorders including dilated cardiomyopathy, centronuclear myopathy, and muscular dystrophy (Human Gene Mutation Database; www.cardiodb.org/titin/titin_exon.php?id=327). RNAseq studies from heart tissue indicate this exon is commonly included in TTN mRNA transcripts (PSI of 100%); however, this analysis in muscle tissue was not performed (Roberts et al. 2015. PMID: 25589632; www.cardiodb.org/titin/titin_exon.php?id=327). TTN truncating variants are reported in 1-2% of presumably healthy individuals and occur more frequently in exons with low PSI values, indicating this variant is more likely to be disease causing (Herman et al. 2012. PMID: 22335739; Roberts et al. 2015. PMID: 25589632). In summary, this variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic for TTN-related disorders. |
