Yoshihisa A, Kiko T, Sato T, Oikawa M, Kobayashi A, Takeishi Y. Clin Chim Acta. An in silico analysis of missense variants and the prediction of their deleterious effects were performed by homology modeling in DeepView/Swiss-PdbViewer, version 4.1.0 (GlaxoSmithKline R&D and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics)29 using the most similar structures available in the Protein Data Bank for each titin domain. Titin missense mutations are also likely to contribute to a small fraction of DCM [13,38] and they are a rare cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia [56,75,16,102,9] (Figure 1). Mutations of TTN are causally related to specific types of muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. Mutations in the titin gene (TTN) cause a wide spectrum of genetic diseases. Titin has a maximum molecular mass of ~4200 kDa[69,11] and has a modular domain composition consisting of immunoglobulin (Ig) and fibronectin type III (FnIII) domains and unique sequences [69,106] (see Figure 1 Missense variants were explicitly studied in a single large recessive family only (family X). et al. Now, an expert who has never treated Ali is weighing in on her condition. The life expectancy for people with congenital . Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant inherited condition in which numerous adenomatous polyps form mainly in the epithelium of the large intestine.While these polyps start out benign, malignant transformation into colon cancer occurs when they are left untreated. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle. An exon-skipping therapeutic strategy has already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in Duchenne muscular dystrophy [1,110], and the hope is that similar exon skipping approaches are feasible and be beneficial in TTNtv patients as well. A, Carrascosa-Romero Respiratory or cardiac issues are to blame. S. Titin, a central mediator for hypertrophic signaling, exercise-induced mechanosignaling and skeletal muscle remodeling. Furthermore, mutated cells display a longer recovery period after caffeine administration [100]. All of them had not received a diagnosis after undergoing an extensive investigation, including Sanger sequencing of candidate genes. Muscular dystrophy is a progressive condition that eventually leads to disability. Schafer Atypical phenotypes in titinopathies explained by second titin mutations. The muscular dystrophies (MD) are a group of inherited genetic conditions that gradually cause the muscles to weaken, leading to an increasing level of disability. M, Piluso Copy number variant analysis was performed using a custom array-comparative genomic hybridization, MotorChip28 (Agilent Technologies). et al. Titin has several functions within sarcomeres. They actually want to get Gracie tested for MD as well, so Ill have to take her back up there and theyll have to do the bloodwork and then well know, Leah explained. et al. Many of the DCM-causing TTN mutations are heterozygous truncating variants (TTNtv) that include frameshift, nonsense, and essential splice site mutations and are over-represented in the A-band segment of titin [56,96], see Figure 1. 3 The disease is inherited in recessive X-linked manner, leading to rare cases of female patients mostly due to skewed inactivation of the . Cardiac problems can be a feature. Helman Muscle magnetic resonance imaging of the lower limbs using 1.5-T magnetic resonance scanners (Siemens and Philips)31 and histological and histochemical examinations in muscle biopsies followed standard procedures.32 Western blotting (WB) of muscle biopsy samples was performed according to standard methods.9 Two previously described in-housegenerated antibodies (rabbit polyclonal antibody M10-111 and mouse monoclonal antibody 11-4-39) were used to detect the titin M10 domain, followed by horseradish peroxidaseconjugated secondary antibodies (Dako) and enhanced chemilumescent detection using the Pierce SuperSignal West Femto substrate (Thermo Fisher).9. Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is an inherited multisystem condition that mainly causes progressive muscle loss, weakness and myotonia. Interpreting Genetic Variants in Titin in Patients With Muscle Disorders. Tibial muscular dystrophy. The average life expectancy for someone with Duchenne muscular dystrophy the most common kind is 26 years old. Indeed, 1-3% of the general population has a TTNtv, and it has been proposed that additional genetic and/or environmental stressors might be needed to unmask the effects of TTNtv [108,111,97,78,110,40].

Correction: This article was corrected online August 8, 2018, to correct Ms Ruggieris degree. We discuss the clinical significance of U-TN in the diagnosis of muscular dystrophies and differential diagnosis of cardiomyopathies, as well as risk stratification in dilated cardiomyopathy. A, Chapon Sequence variants in TTN are described according to the coding DNA reference sequence (LRG_391t1), covering transcript variant-IC (NM_001267550.1). Centronuclear myopathies: genotype-phenotype correlation and frequency of defined genetic forms in an Italian cohort. Deficiency in RBM20 is leading to increased expression of large N2BA-type titin isoforms in the adult heart[61,50,79,80]. A recent study by Schick et al.

Would you like email updates of new search results? Since we first met Leah Messer nearly a decade ago, the Teen Mom 2 star has taken us along for the emotional and inspiring journey of her daughter Aliannahs battle with muscular dystrophy. . Consequently, I-band exons with TTNtv, can be excluded from the transcript without resulting in a frameshift, acting as a natural exon skipping mechanism [96,77]. Genet. Jason Tartick breaks it down with Us Weekly editors. Additionally, Verdonschot et al. Titin isoforms assembled from the metatranscript, cardiac N2BA, cardiac N2B, skeletal muscle N2A, Novex3 and Cronos transcripts (from top to bottom). Savarese M, Sarparanta J, Vihola A, Udd B, Hackman P. J Neuromuscul Dis. B, Patient Xa with missense mutations showed a normal titin C-terminal pattern, while patient IXa with a single protein truncating variant and 2 missense variants showed a reduction of the small (<20 kDa) titin C-terminal fragments in particular. The C-zone region of titin likely plays a role in anchoring MyBP-C[31], regulating actomyosin interaction[82] and regulating the thick filament length[103]. The site is secure. et al. et al. government site. B, p.Thr31339Ala modeled using the structure 2NZI of titin domains A168-A170. In most of the cases these stressors can unmask the effects of TTNtv or induce an even more severe DCM phenotype. V, Savarese John E. Smith declares that he has no conflicts of interest. The change from threonine to alanine is predicted in a loop and will probably not interfere with the structure. Results showed that titin deficiency leads to sarcomere disassembly and atrophy in striated muscle and eventually DCM. Titin is a giant myofilament that extends from the Z-disk (N-terminus) to the M-band (C-terminus) region of the sarcomere and is encoded by the TTN gene [37,69,11,46,47]. MC, Alfaro Ponce Disease progression is slow and muscle weakness remains confined to the anterior compartment muscles for many years. Titins M-band region contains the serine/threonine kinase (TK) domain and is involved in numerous signaling pathways [83,116,115,91,90,39,19]. observed more severely impaired left ventricular (LV) function, lower stroke volumes and more sustained ventricular tachycardia in TTNtv+ patients[96]. The clinical interpretation of titin gene variants is challenging and requires comprehensive analyses. S, Sarparanta Clearly, more research is required into the pathomechanism by which TTNtv mutations induce DCM and into the possibility of exon skipping as a therapy. The data analysis was performed between September 2013 and January 2017. 1Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721; Sarver Molecular Cardiovascular Research Program, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721. SWISS-MODEL and the Swiss-PdbViewer: an environment for comparative protein modeling. R, Ben Yaou Further possible causative variants in genes other than titin were ruled out by a segregation analysis. The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). To identify genetic variants in titin in a cohort of patients with muscle disorders. The second detected variant was a c.94015A>G leading to a substitution of a threonine at position 31339 with an alanine in an Fn3 domain (A-band portion of titin). The mutated residue is located in a strand. A, Life expectancy is not thought to be affected by this form of muscular dystrophy. G, Ricci Although TTNtv+ patients present more life-threatening arrhythmias associated with enhanced interstitial myocardial fibrosis, the survival rate is similar between TTNtv+ and TTNtv patients at long-term follow-up [109,29]. Statistical analysis: Savarese, Di Fruscio. We performed an evaluation of putative causative variants in the TTN gene, combining genetic, clinical, and imaging data with messenger RNA and/or protein studies. Truncating mutations in C-terminal titin may cause more severe tibial muscular dystrophy (TMD). All the patients or their legal guardians provided written informed consent. Ali was diagnosed with Titin Myotonic muscular dystrophy in 2014, a rare form of progressive weakness disease that had existed in less than 20 cases around the world at the time of her diagnosis. However, protein gels did not reveal truncated titins, suggesting that either no truncated proteins are produced or that they are produced but rapidly degraded [99]. Supplemental Table S1. official website and that any information you provide is encrypted Because rare missense variants were found in most analyzed patients, we focused on a single recessive family (family X) in whom 2 rare variants segregated with the observed phenotype. It is of interest therefore to determine whether distinct molecular pathways are associated with TTNtv-based DCM. Titin, encoded by the gene TTN, is the largest human protein, and plays central roles in sarcomeric structures and functions in skeletal and cardiac muscles. Tibial muscular dystrophy in a Belgian family. The integration of structured clinical data with genetic variations is crucial for a correct evaluation of TTN findings, as detailed below. Previously reported, disease-causing mutations in the TTN gene easily address the diagnosis toward a titinopathy. et al. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal J, Evil Mutations of TTN are causally related to specific types of muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of inherited diseases in which the muscles that control movement (called voluntary muscles) progressively weaken.

In this case series, 504 patients with skeletal muscle disorders were screened with a targeted resequencing approach. T, Fornoff and patients have a life expectancy of . Guex et al. The introduction of Next-generation Sequencing technology has revealed that mutations in the gene that encodes titin (TTN) are linked to multiple skeletal and cardiac myopathies. Acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data: All authors. Currently, there is much uncertainty about the exact mechanism by which titin truncating mutations lead to a cardiac phenotype. He was referred to the neuromuscular unit as a child because of a proximal and distal weakness. found more life-threatening arrhythmias in TTNtv+ patients associated with enhanced interstitial myocardial fibrosis, the survival rate was similar between TTNtv+ and TTNtv patients at long-term follow-up [109]. Risk of bias had little impact on pooled results. However, a mouse model in which titins IA junction was targeted revealed that deleting the IA junction does not alter thick filament length[44]. Mutarelli C, In particular, a c.18970A>C causing a substitution of a threonine with a proline at position 6324 was identified. Rarely optimal treatments for cardiopulmonary dysfunction extend life expectancy to late thirties. Titin-related muscular dystrophies include tibial muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, hereditary myopathy with early respiratory failure, central core myopathy, centronuclear myopathies, and Salih myopathy. Heterozygous truncating variants or unique missense changes are not sufficient to make a diagnosis of titinopathy. M, Labeit Most mutations that alter titin's characteristics seem to be incompatible with life, since very few associated genetic diseases have been described. We won't post to any of your accounts without asking first. We always want her to know that if she can dream it, then she can do it!

These mutations cause either a dominant, mild, and late-onset distal leg phenotype, or recessive phenotypes.7-9,11 Muscle imaging is mandatory and often very informative (Table 2). The study, approved by the ethics committee of the Universit della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Tattini We believe in her like she believes in herself!. First, we enrolled, in a multicenter study, patients with clinically and genetically heterogenous conditions and specific clinical studies (magnetic resonance imaging or cardiac tests) were unavailable or not performed for some patients. S, de Marvao An increasing number of rare, ultrarare, and private variants in the titin gene is detected in any sequencing approach, and NGS has dramatically expanded the spectrum of skeletal muscle disorders associated with causative mutations in TTN.5 Our workflow results in a greater understanding and more consistent interpretation of titin variants by neurologists, pediatricians, and geneticists less familiar with the titin gene and titinopathies.
