Titin Variants in Dilated Cardiomyopathy

TTN Transcript / Exon Structure & Truncating Variants in Cardiomyopathy Studies

Titin - Exon 51

Details for Exon 51 of the Titin gene - Sequence Coordinates, Associated Transcripts, Functional Data, Truncating Variants and Sequence.

Coordinates

The genomic coordinates of HG19 and Locus Reference Genomic (LRG) and the CDS coordinates of the Titin meta-transcript for exon 51 are displayed below.

Transcripts

Exon 51 occurs in the following Titin transcripts (the number indicates the exon rank of exon 51 in each transcript).

Functional Data

Region: This exon occurs in the I-band region of the titin protein.

Domains: This exon codes for the following domain(s) - Ig-like 25/26.

PSI: The "proportion spliced-in" (an estimate of the percentage of TTN transcripts that incorporate this exon based on RNAseq data) is 33% in DCM (LV tissue of 84 end-stage patients) and 46% 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.
