RCV000184345 | SCV000236970 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2012-11-15 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | c.79136delT: p.Leu26379HisfsX25 (L26379HfsX25) in exon 276 of the TTN gene (NM_001256850.1). The normal sequence with the base that is deleted in braces is: TCAC{T}ATCT. The c.79136delT variant in the TTN gene has not been reported previously as pathogenic or as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. c.79136delT causes a shift in reading frame starting at codon Leucine 26379, changing it to a Histidine, and creating a premature stop codon at position 25 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Leu26379HisfsX25. This variant is expected to result in either an abnormal, truncated protein product or possible loss of protein from this allele through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. c.79136delT is located in the A-band region of titin, where the majority of truncating mutations associated with DCM have been reported (Herman D et al., 2012). In summary, while the c.79136delT variant in the TTN gene is likely a pathogenic variant, the possibility it is a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. |
