Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000615596 SCV000710841 likely pathogenic Primary dilated cardiomyopathy 2019-03-07 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Ala172Ser variant in TNNT2 has been reported in 1 individual with DCM and segregated with disease in at least 4 affected relatives (Stefanelli 2004). Present in ClinVar (ID 18162) and gnomad 4/282894 total chromosomes. It has also been identified in 1/80 HCM patients by Viswanathan 2017. This variant was predicted to be pathogenic using a computational tool clinically validated by our laboratory. This tool's pathogenic prediction is estimated to be correct 94% of the time (Jordan 2011). In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of the p.Ala172Ser variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PP1, PP3.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000778960 SCV000915387 uncertain significance Dilated cardiomyopathy 1D 2017-10-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The TNNT2 c.514G>T (p.Ala172Ser) missense variant (which has also been referred to as p.Ala171Ser) has been reported in two studies in which it was identified in a heterozygous state in at least nine clinically affected members of a large, multigenerational family affected by left ventricular dilatation, systolic dysfunction, and sudden cardiac death (Stefanelli et al. 2004). The p.Ala172Ser variant was also detected in an unrelated individual with dilated cardiomyopathy (Jáchymová et al. 2012). Three clinically indeterminate and three asymptomatic members of the large family also carried the variant. Within the family, male carriers of the variant had more severe symptoms, and two of them died suddenly (Stefanelli et al. 2004). The p.Ala172Ser variant was absent from 212 control individuals and is reported at a frequency of 0.000024 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Functional studies of the variant have not been conducted, but it affects a highly conserved residue in the alpha-tropomyosin binding domain (Stefanelli et al. 2004). Based on the limited evidence available, the p.Ala172Ser variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for autosomal dominant dilated cardiomyopathy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population.
Invitae RCV001067821 SCV001232902 pathogenic Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 2; Dilated cardiomyopathy 1D; Cardiomyopathy, familial restrictive, 3 2023-02-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 172 of the TNNT2 protein (p.Ala172Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs730881097, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) (PMID: 15464434, 22292720, 29121657). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as A171S. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 181612). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TNNT2 protein function. Studies have shown that this missense change alters TNNT2 gene expression (PMID: 33025817). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001101098 SCV001257669 uncertain significance Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 2 2017-10-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV001101099 SCV001257670 uncertain significance Cardiomyopathy, familial restrictive, 3 2017-10-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV001185278 SCV001351453 likely pathogenic Cardiomyopathy 2024-01-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces alanine with serine at codon 172 of the TNNT2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been shown to segregate with dilated cardiomyopathy in multiple affected individuals in two families (PMID: 15464434, 35653365). This variant has also been reported in two additional unrelated individuals affected with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 22292720, 28008009) and two individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 29121657, 35653365). This variant has been identified in 4/282894 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.
