RCV001007993 | SCV001167725 | pathogenic | not provided | 2019-01-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The Q28217X pathogenic variant in the TTN gene has not been published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge. Q28217X is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either due to production of an abnormal, prematurely truncated protein, or by absence of protein product due to nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Other truncating TTN variants have been reported in approximately 3% of control alleles (Herman et al., 2012). However, Q28217X is located in the A-band region of titin, where the majority of truncating pathogenic variants associated with DCM have been reported (Herman et al., 2012). Furthermore, the Q28217X variant has not been observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). In summary, Q28217X in the TTN gene is interpreted as a pathogenic variant. |
