Description
This variant causes an in-frame deletion of one amino acid at exon 11 of the tropomyosin binding domain 1 in the TNNT2 protein. In-vivo functional studies using a transgenic mouse knock-in model have shown that this variant causes a phenotype consistent with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including sarcomeric abnormalities, cellular hypertrophy, decreased calcium uptake activity, and myofilament disarray (PMID: 23434821, 24480310, 26714042). Additional in-vitro functional studies using transfected porcine cardiac myofibrils have shown that this variant causes altered troponin affinity and increased calcium sensitivity (PMID: 10731693) . This variant has been reported in over 20 individuals affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 7898523, 12707239, 14636924, 20800588, 21835320, 22144547, 24792744, 25611685, 27639548, 28771489, 28790153, 27532257, 31308319, 33029862, 33673806). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in multiple affected individuals across multiple families (PMID: 7898523, 14636924). This variant has been reported to occur de novo in one individual affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (PMID: 25611685). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
