Abstract

: This report describes a novel TTN -related phenotype in two brothers, both affected by a childhood onset, very slowly progressive myopathy with cores, associated with dilated cardiomyopathy only in their late disease stages. Clinical exome sequencing documented in both siblings the heterozygous c.2089A>T and c.19426+2T>A variants in TTN. The c.2089A>T, classified in ClinVar as possibly pathogenic, introduces a premature stop codon in exon 14, whereas the c.19426+2T>A affects TTN alternative splicing. The unfeasibility of segregation studies prevented us from establishing the inheritance mode of the muscle disease in this family, although the lack of any reported muscle or heart symptoms in both parents might support an autosomal recessive transmission. In this view, the occurrence of cardiomyopathy in both probands might be related to the c.2089A>T truncating variant in exon 14, and the childhood onset, slowly progressive myopathy to the c.19426+2T>A splicing variant, possibly allowing translation of an almost full length TTN protein.
