Effect in Cardiac Disease

This variant is considered a rare variant, with a population frequency of 0.00001672 (ExAC mean allelic frequency).

DCM

Rare TTN Truncating variants are significantly enriched in DCM (details) and have an etiological fraction (EF) of 0.95.

OMGL: Detected in 0 / 304 DCM patients.

LMM:   Detected in 0 / 156 DCM patients.

The EF is the estimated proportion of rare variants of this class that will be pathogenic in a cardiomyopathy proband, a prior probability based solely on variant frequency data in cases and controls, and should be further refined by additional evidence such as family segregation data, known association with disease, population frequency, protein domain analysis, functional studies and in silico algorithms to assess the significance of a variant.

For more information on the clinical significance of this variant, please see the ClinVar entry.

Titin Truncating Variants & Gene Structure

This truncating variant occurs in exon 219 of the titin gene, which occurs in the I-band. The "proportion spliced-in" (an estimate of the percentage of TTN transcripts that incorporate this exon based on RNAseq data) is 4% in DCM LV tissue. For more details on the effects of truncating variants in this exon, including affected transcripts and other variants observed in major published cohorts, see the exon 219 page of our titin website.

The Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) is a database of 60,706 unrelated individuals sequenced as part of various disease-specific and population genetic studies. There is partial overlap between ExAC and 1000 Genomes (1KG) (1,851 of the 2,504 samples in 1KG) and the Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) (3,936 of the 6,500 samples in ESP).
