Titin - Exon 15

Details for Exon 15 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.

Transcripts

Exon 15 occurs in the following Titin transcripts (the number indicates the exon rank of exon 15 in each transcript).

META	N2BA	N2B	N2A	NOVEX-1	NOVEX-2	NOVEX-3
15	15	14	15	14	14	15

Functional Data

Region: This exon occurs in the Z-disk region of the titin protein.

PSI: The "proportion spliced-in" (an estimate of the percentage of TTN transcripts that incorporate this exon based on RNAseq data) is 99% in DCM (LV tissue of 84 end-stage patients) and 99% 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.
