Accessibility The TTN gene encodes titin, a giant sarcomeric protein, spanning from the Z-disc to the M-band.1 Titin plays crucial functional and structural roles in the sarcomere.2 Mutations in the TTN gene cause several different muscle disorders, cardiomyopathies, and combinations of these.3,4, The skeletal muscle diseases caused by TTN mutations include a wide spectrum of disorders.5 The late-onset autosomal dominant tibial muscular dystrophy (TMD) is caused by mutations in the last exon (364), which cause a posttranslational pathological cleavage of a larger portion of the C-terminal titin protein.6-8, Young- or early-adultonset recessive distal titinopathy is due to either 2 mutations in the last 2 exons (363364), or 1 mutation in these exons and a truncating mutation on the other allele.9 Similarly, 2 C-terminal mutations or 1 C-terminal mutation along with a truncating variant in trans cause an early-onset recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy 2J.10-12, Other congenital or early-onset recessive titinopathies comprise disorders with heterogeneous clinical and histological features: congenital centronuclear myopathy,13,14 early-onset myopathy with fatal cardiomyopathy,15 multiminicore disease with heart disease,16 and childhood-juvenileonset Emery-Dreifusslike myopathy phenotype without cardiomyopathy.17 Hereditary myopathy with early respiratory failure (HMERF) represents an increasingly identified, completely different adult-onset myopathy, mainly because of dominant mutations in exon 344.18, Many additional TTN-related muscular phenotypes are emerging as a consequence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) screening in patients with myopathy.5 For instance, adult-onset proximal lower limb weakness without ankle dorsiflexion weakness has been described in 2 unrelated patients who had a TMD-causing mutation combined with a second missense mutation.9,19 Recently, a novel TTN homozygous truncating mutation was found in a patient with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and severe axial hypotonia as a form of congenital amyoplasia without cardiac involvement.20 The mutation occurs within an exon, which seems to be expressed only in the fetal skeletal isoform.20. It is now well established that TTN is a major human disease gene that causes multiple neuromuscular and cardiac diseases [56,96,99,13,98,26,75,89,20,74]. B, Hackman 2023 American Medical Association. The 3 end of novex-3 contains the stop codon polyadenylation signal and functions as an alternative C-terminus, resulting in a truncated titin isoform [11]. PubMedGoogle ScholarCrossref 2. In the early days of the show, Leah, her ex Corey Simms, and fans alike were thrilled to learn that she finally had a diagnosis Titins muscular dystrophy, a rare form of the disease that hadnt ever been seen in children but worried about what that meant for her future. Motor chip: a comparative genomic hybridization microarray for copy-number mutations in 245 neuromuscular disorders. Recently, TTNtv-induced DCM has also been associated with Z-disk, I-band and M-band exons in a small subset of patients [99]. 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. et al. Fattori It has been suggested that the unique domain composition of the IA zone reflects an alteration in titin-myosin interaction that is critical for the termination of the thick filament[14]. Peri Have a tip? It can also affect other parts of your body, including your heart, lungs and eyes. These diseases include Duchenne's muscular dystrophy (DMD) and centronuclear myopathy (CNM). Written by Tavishi Dogra | Updated : April 14, 2023 8:54 AM IST. A recent study by Schick et al. Notably, exons in the I-band region where intense alternative splicing occurs have low PSI values[96]. M, Marwah In family IX, the proband was a teenage boy who presented with hypotonia and congenital torticollis at birth. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal observed more severely impaired left ventricular (LV) function, lower stroke volumes and more sustained ventricular tachycardia in TTNtv+ patients[96]. In Touch Weekly has affiliate partnerships so we may receive compensation for some links to products and services. Conflict of Interest Disclosures: None reported. C, Thompson Mutations of TTN are causally related to specific types of muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. The former is located in an Fn3 domain in the A-band portion of titin, and in silico studies predicted that the amino acid is located on the external surface of the domain, possibly affecting the binding to the interactors. Role of the Funder/Sponsor: The funding organizations had no role in the design and conduct of the study; collection, management, analysis, and interpretation of the data; preparation, review, or approval of the manuscript; and decision to submit the manuscript for publication. In particular, a c.18970A>C causing a substitution of a threonine with a proline at position 6324 was identified. The amino acid change probably affects the folding of the domain (Figure 2). The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of inherited diseases in which the muscles that control movement (called voluntary muscles) progressively weaken. Clinical Summary of Index Patients, Table 2. P. Increasing role of titin mutations in neuromuscular disorders. Tibial muscular dystrophy in a Belgian family. 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. Results showed that titin deficiency leads to sarcomere disassembly and atrophy in striated muscle and eventually DCM. . et al. The clinical interpretation of mutations in exon 364, previously associated with TMD (like the p.Ile35947Asn in patient III), is more complex. M, Di Fruscio Western blotting analyses showed a reduced intensity of small C-terminal titin protein fragments and the presence of an additional band due to the splicing defect (Figure 1). A developed methodology of next generation sequencing has recently led to the identification of novel TTN mutations in such diseases. Savarese M, Maggi L, Vihola A, et al. Be sure to join our Teen Mom Facebook group to chat about all the latest updates and juicy gossip! 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. A, Zhou et al. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) <10 per 100,000 in male <1 per million in female: 2 to 6 years : Muscle weakness and wasting affect pelvis, upper arms, and upper legs. V, Rispoli Mrosek Centronuclear myopathies: genotype-phenotype correlation and frequency of defined genetic forms in an Italian cohort. Krger M, Ktter Front Physiol. 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. De Cid Tibial muscular dystrophy. An evaluation of titin gene variants that combined genetic, clinical, and imaging data with messenger RNA and/or protein studies identified 9 patients with a titinopathy and 4 patients with possible titinopathy. Vasli and patients have a life expectancy of . Question B. The mutation to proline will induce steric restrictions most probably causing a reduced stability and a structural disruption. Previously reported, disease-causing mutations in the TTN gene easily address the diagnosis toward a titinopathy. M, The muscular dystrophies (MD) refer to a group of inherited genetic conditions that weaken your muscles over time. found that all components of the mitochondrial electron transport chain are significantly upregulated in patients with TTNtv, leading to pronounced cardiac lterations in mitochondrial function [109]. However, a complete molecular characterization of variants affecting the canonical or noncanonical splice sites by cDNA or protein studies is suggested. Extensive mRNA splicing results in distinct titin isoforms [11,70] (Figure 1). CAPN3-mediated processing of C-terminal titin replaced by pathological cleavage in titinopathy. 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. Titin fragment in urine: A noninvasive biomarker of muscle degradation. M, Del Vecchio Blanco L, DAurizio the gene encoding the giant skeletal-muscle protein titin. Evil National Library of Medicine The PubMed wordmark and PubMed logo are registered trademarks of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). SRP-9001 is a treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or DMD, an inherited disorder of progressive muscular weakness that typically affects boys. They have traditionally been classified by clinical presentation, mode of inheritance, age of onset, and overall progression. Evil M, Ktter However, the hydroxyl group on the sidechain of threonine allows for hydrogen bonding with other molecules. Interestingly, mutated iPSC cardiomyocytes, derived from DCM patients with TTNtv, show attenuated response to isoproterenol, [Ca2+]out and angiotensin-ll. Recovery from TTNtv-associated PPCM is also possible with proper and careful medical assistance [68]. H, Somer It usually affects a specific group of muscles in the beginning but becomes worse over time. et al. Furthermore, TTNtv can be associated with a more severe form of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy (CCMP). observed that the mTORCI inhibitor rapamycin is able to rescue the attenuated autophagy in rat hearts containing TTNtv mutations [2]. This muscle helps control up-and-down movement of the foot. The mutated amino acid is located on the external surface of a strand in an Ig-domain in the I-band region, probably affecting the stability (Figure 2A). Schematic Representation of Mutations Identified and Algorithm for the Clinical Interpretation of Genetic Findings in Titin, Table 1. J, Le Gras Multiple mechanisms have been proposed to explain TTNtv-induced DCM: haploinsufficiency, poison-peptide/dominant-negative mechanism, and perturbation of cardiac metabolism and signaling. C, Nigro The most common type is dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with a prevalence of up to ~1:250 [57,99]. J, Vihola A community-based resource for automatic exome variant-calling and annotation in Mendelian disorders. 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. 8600 Rockville Pike Inframe deletions, the skipping of inframe exons or truncating variants in exons not expressed in the adult muscles, and small size variations would still not be recognizable by a titin Western blot. Gerull You dont know what to expect or when to expect whats going to happen, but you know something is going to happen. Learn more details about the disease below. NIHMS1525590-supplement-424_2019_2272_MOESM1_ESM.pdf. Disease progression is slow and muscle weakness remains confined to the anterior compartment muscles for many years. Methods: Molecular genetic analysis was performed for 52 patients (27 female and 25 male) from . An important titin splicing factor is RBM20. 2019 May; 471(5): 673682. et al. Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is an inherited multisystem condition that mainly causes progressive muscle loss, weakness and myotonia. C, S, de Marvao B, Partanen An official website of the United States government. The patient had presented with difficulties in running and Achilles tendon contractures since the preteen years. Truncating variants in the novex-3 exon that functions as an alternative C-terminus occur equally in patients with DCM and in healthy controls [96,99,110]. The rapidly evolving role of titin in cardiac physiology and cardiomyopathy. DS, Lam Nigro Titin has several functions within sarcomeres. Our study has limitations. Dubowitz Further studies are needed to establish whether the sex dependence might be more related to the link between titin phosphorylation and increased oxidative stress [12,30] and whether the cardioprotective effects of estrogen in premenopausal women contribute to sex-related differences [62,76]. Titins N-terminus is embedded in the Z-disk and acts as a mechano-sensor [65]. Life expectancy can reach into the early thirties. F, 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). R, Roudaut Urinary N-terminal fragment of titin is a marker to diagnose muscular dystrophy in patients with cardiomyopathy. showed that hemodynamic stress caused by angiotensin II or isoproterenol can induce a more severe phenotype in heterozygous TTNtv mice compared to control litter mates [40]. A; Titinopathy Database Consortium. et al. 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). Schafer Median life expectancy with ventilatory support, introduced in most settings in the 1990s, ranged between 21.0 and 39.6 years (pooled median: 29.9 years, 26.5-30.8; weighted pooled median: 31.8 years, 29.3-36.2). Patient II was a man in his mid-50s presenting with a distal myopathy (onset in his mid-40s with myalgia and exercise intolerance). Before Drafting of the manuscript: Savarese, Maggi, Vihola, Jonson, Tasca, Bello, Giugliano, Di Fruscio, Vanakker, Rubegni, Santorelli, Udd, Nigro.

Interestingly, major signaling pathways, involving transforming growth factor-, vascular endothelial growth factor, and mitogen-activated protein kinases, that are critically important to cardiomyocyte function, are diminished in iPS-derived cardiac cells containing TTNtv [60,110]. Design, Setting, and Participants With early treatment, it can reach 30 years. Patient I was a man in his late 50s with no family history for neuromuscular disorders. An official website of the United States government. FOIA official website and that any information you provide is encrypted In the presence of monoallelic truncating variants, as well as of missense variants, the possible causative effect of mutations in genes other than titin has to be ruled out and the presence of the aforementioned key clinical points has to be assessed by deep phenotyping. In an extensive study of 504 mainly adult, patients who had not received a genetic diagnosis and were presenting with clinical signs of muscular dystrophy, congenital myopathy, or other skeletal muscle disorders, we identified 9 novel patients (1.8%) with titinopathy and 4 patients (0.8%) with very likely disease-causing TTN mutations. C, Rowell A, Adami No signs of cardiomyopathy were detected on heart ultrasonography. Indeed, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis suggests altered cardiac metabolism in TTNtv rats, independently of the position of the truncation [99]. We always want her to know that if she can dream it, then she can do it! The complete gene sequence of titin, expression of an unusual approximately 700-kDa titin isoform, and its interaction with obscurin identify a novel Z-line to I-band linking system. It is of interest therefore to determine whether distinct molecular pathways are associated with TTNtv-based DCM. P, Marchand Furthermore, patients with TTNtv are at higher risk to more adverse cardiac events, as death, cardiac transplant, or LV assist device [96]. Missense mutations downloaded from the TITINdb (http://fraternalilab.kcl.ac.uk/TITINdb/), see Laddach et al.[71]. In the heart, three titin isoform classes are present: fetal cardiac titin (3.5-3.6 MDa), adult N2BA (~3.3 MDa) and adult N2B (~3.0 MDa) isoforms [69,11,72]. Although, Verdonschot et al. 3 The disease is inherited in recessive X-linked manner, leading to rare cases of female patients mostly due to skewed inactivation of the . Epub 2017 Jun 22. This finding suggests that hypertension, a common risk factor for heart disease and stroke [52], results in a more severe form of DCM in patients with TTNtv [40]. Truncating mutations in C-terminal titin may cause more severe tibial muscular dystrophy (TMD). Muscle cDNA Analysis in Patient IV Confirms that the Variant c.107377+1G>A Causes a Misplicing. Privacy Policy| Palmio Copy number variant analysis was performed using a custom array-comparative genomic hybridization, MotorChip28 (Agilent Technologies). Mimicking natural skipping of exons with low PSI scores [96,77] , exon skipping with antisense oligonucleotides could provide a more specific treatment option for patients with DCM caused by TTNtv. No heart or respiratory involvement was observed. F, V. Identification of an intragenic deletion in the SGCB gene through a re-evaluation of negative next-generation sequencing results. In this case series, 504 patients with skeletal muscle disorders were screened with a targeted resequencing approach. Would you like email updates of new search results?

The IA zone is near the ends of the thick filaments and is striking in that the regular domain patterns of Ig and Fnlll domains is broken with a stretch of 6 Fnlll domains that is found preceding the D zone. The hardest part is her physically deteriorating and knowing these things are happening to her, the 26-year-old explained. Missense variants were explicitly studied in a single large recessive family only (family X). The age of onset of the disease varies from childhood to adult life. B, Bnnemann et al. An evaluation of titin gene variants that combined genetic, clinical, and imaging data with messenger RNA and/or protein studies identified 9 patients with a titinopathy and 4 patients with possible titinopathy. He received a diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy without arrhythmias in his late teens. The underlying mechanisms by which titin mutations induce disease are poorly understood and targeted therapies are not available. In summary, many additional genetic and environmental factors can influence the outcome of an existing TTNtv. The most common mutation responsible for the HMERF phenotype (p.Cys31712Arg in exon 344)18 was identified in 2 cases (I and II). Unauthorized use of these marks is strictly prohibited. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reactions were performed using primers designed with Primer3 software and a DreamTaq DNA Polymerase (Thermo Scientific). Unlike full-length titin isoforms, novex-3 is too short to reach the A-band region [11,96]. PMC O, Verellen The natural history of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is one of gradual progression over years, with life expectancy beyond the fifth and sixth decades of life. Concept and design: Savarese, Maggi, Vihola, Jonson, Politano, Angelini, Comi, Hackman, Udd, Nigro. N, Bale Although pulmonary function test results were only minimally impaired, muscle biopsy results revealed typical histopathological features seen in HMERF, including cytoplasmic bodies and rimmed vacuoles. K, Sarparanta N, Peitsch She explained, I felt pretty confident that she didnt have it, so I wasnt too worried about it., According to Muscular Dystrophy Canada, Physical and occupational therapy, proper respiratory care, exercise, assistive devices, and orthopedic surgery may help to preserve muscle function and enhance quality of life.. official website and that any information you provide is encrypted In this review article, we highlight the role of titin and impact of TTN mutations in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. The identification of novel mutations in the TTN gene and novel patients with titinopathy. H. Muscular dystrophy with separate clinical phenotypes in a large family. (2002). Recessive truncating titin gene, TTN, mutations presenting as centronuclear myopathy. Van den Bergh FOIA ML, Centner The clinical interpretation of titin gene variants is challenging and requires comprehensive analyses. There's currently no cure, so treatment involves managing symptoms and improving quality of life. eFigure. late adult-onset distal myopathy in 66 Finnish patients.

Hence, it has been suggested that TTNtv can be tolerated in the healthy population because the majority of the mutations fall in I-band exons that are subject to alternative splicing [96,60]. The A-band segment contains the so-named I/A zone, D-zone, C-zone and M-band regions (supplemental Table S1). Interestingly, the onset of DCM is ~40 years and the penetrance of TTNtv is sex dependent [56,30]. Patient VI was a woman in her mid-50s presenting in her early 30s with frequent tripping. The life expectancy of these patients is increasing, and may extend to the fourth decade of life [3], [4]. Several recent studies suggest that heterozygous titin truncating variants cause dominant dilated cardiomyopathy.40,41 However, a positional effect and an incomplete and age-dependent penetrance (probably related to other genetic or environmental factors) may explain the lack of any cardiac symptoms in some individuals with mono or biallelic PTVs (eg, patient V and VIII).41 A systematic follow-up to evaluate the cardiac status of such individuals, as well as their asymptomatic relatives who carry truncating variants, is highly recommended. Rich KA, Moscarello T, Siskind C, Brock G, Tan CA, Vatta M, Winder TL, Elsheikh B, Vicini L, Tucker B, Palettas M, Hershberger RE, Kissel JT, Morales A, Roggenbuck J. Mol Genet Genomic Med. Schafer et. The A-band segment of titin contains 178 Ig and Fn3 domains and is functionally inextensible [69,106,16]. Udd distal myopathy - tibial muscular dystrophy (UDM-TMD) is characterized by weakness of ankle dorsiflexion and inability to walk on the heels after age 30 years. Messenger RNA analyses confirmed the splicing effect of the intronic variant (eFigure in the Supplement). P. Targeted next-generation sequencing assay for detection of mutations in primary myopathies. The first sign is usually weakness and wasting (atrophy) of a muscle in the lower leg called the tibialis anterior. All images were made in DeepView/Swiss-PdbViewer, version 4.1.0 (GlaxoSmithKline R&D and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics). generated a conditional KO mouse model with progressive postnatal loss of the complete titin protein achieved by removing exon 2 (E2-KO)[94]. My heartttt #itsthelittlethings #softball #coachpitch #love #aligirl #mygirl #mdwontstopher, A post shared by @ @ (@leahdawn92mtv) on Apr 23, 2018 at 12:49pm PDT. 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. 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. Muscular dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of more than 30 genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles used during voluntary movement. Patients with DMD, however, have a shorter life expectancy. Furthermore, biochemical analysis revealed a shift from fatty acids toward glycolysis, similar to those seen in the failing heart that may be adaptive [99]. The patient, as well as his similarly affected sibling, harbored a single-nucleotide duplication (p.Arg26562Thrfs*12) on the maternal allele. S, Supplemental Table S1. Unable to load your collection due to an error, Unable to load your delegates due to an error. Main Outcomes and Measures showed no significant differences in clinical manifestations between TTNtv+ and TTNtv subjects, including the risk of major cardiac events [56]. Udd Mutations of TTN are causally related to specific types of muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies. Gerull Careers. MD is a progressive condition, which means it gets worse over time. . R, Magi G, Bonkowsky We thank Jonathan Cole, BA, for linguistic editing of the article. Due to its enormous size, TTN has been insufficiently analyzed in the past. Direct-zol RNA MiniPrep Kit (Zymo Research) was used to extract RNA from muscle biopsies. The index case of family VII was a woman in her early 50s (VIIa), with onset in adulthood (in her early 30s) characterized by walking difficulty and distal lower limb muscle weakness.
