Cardiovascular Biomedical Research Unit, Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust	RCV000209215	SCV000189802	uncertain significance	Primary dilated cardiomyopathy	2014-10-08	criteria provided, single submitter	research	This TTN truncating variant (TTNtv) was identified in three individuals in this cohort. It affects only the Novex-3 isoform, which does not span the sarcomere and has not been implicated in DCM. In the seven cohorts assessed, TTNtv were found in 14% of ambulant DCM, 22% end-stage or familial DCM, and 2% controls. Heterozygous nonsense, frameshift and canonical splice-disrupting variants found in constitutive and other highly utilised exons are highly likely to be pathogenic when identified in individuals with phenotypically confirmed DCM. TTNtv found incidentally in healthy individuals (excluding familial assessment of DCM relatives) are thought to have low penetrance, particularly when identified in exons that are not constitutively expressed in the heart.
Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	RCV000152431	SCV000201484	uncertain significance	not specified	2019-01-25	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Glu5506X variant in TTN has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 5/8598 of European American chromosomes by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; dbSNP rs148430495). This variant is located in the last exon of an alternative transcript (Novex-3) and is expected to result in a truncated protein. Although truncating variants in the TTN gene are common in individuals with DCM (Herman 2012), the role of the Novex-3 transcript in cardiomyopathy is unclear. In summary, additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the Glu5506X variant.

The available evidence on this variant's pathogenicity is insufficient or conflicting. The following ACMG criteria were applied in classifying this variant: No criteria apply.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000152431	SCV002500821	uncertain significance	not specified	2022-03-31	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: TTN c.10360+7240G>T is located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. Although this variant can also be interpreted as c.16516G>T/p.Glu5506X in NM_133379, the location of this variant is at the 3'-end of this transcript. In addition, this transcript is not expressed at high level in the DCM cohort or GTEx (https://www.cardiodb.org/titin). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.1e-05 in 246836 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in TTN causing Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Type 2J, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.10360+7240G>T in individuals affected with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Type 2J and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign.
