Titin - Exon 179

Details for Exon 179 of the Titin gene - Sequence Coordinates, Associated Transcripts, Functional Data, Truncating Variants and Sequence.

The exon number is based on the LRG numbering, as recommended for clinical reporting.

Coordinates

The genomic coordinates of HG19 and Locus Reference Genomic (LRG) and the CDS coordinates of the Titin meta-transcript for exon 179 are displayed below.

HG19 Genomic		Locus Reference Genomic		Meta-Transcript
Start	End	Start	End	Start	End

Transcripts

Exon 179 occurs in the following Titin transcripts (the number indicates the exon rank of exon 179 in each transcript).

META	N2BA	N2B	N2A	NOVEX-1	NOVEX-2	NOVEX-3
178	-	-	-	-	-	-

Functional Data

PSI: The "proportion spliced-in" (an estimate of the percentage of TTN transcripts that incorporate this exon based on RNAseq data) is 1% in DCM (LV tissue of 84 end-stage patients) and 4% in GTEx (LV tissue of 105 samples from Genotype-Tissue Expression project). (See Ref. 1 for details)

Symmetry: This exon is symmetric, i.e. the length of the exon is a multiple of three and therefore removal of it will not alter the reading frame.
