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 89.

PSI: The "proportion spliced-in" (an estimate of the percentage of TTN transcripts that incorporate this exon based on RNAseq data) is 100% in DCM (LV tissue of 84 end-stage patients) and 96% in GTEx (LV tissue of 105 samples from Genotype-Tissue Expression project). (See Ref. 1 for details)

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