Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in the TTN gene have been reported to cause various cardiomyopathies and a range of skeletal muscle diseases, collectively known as titinopathies. We evaluated a consanguineous family multiple members affected with a lethal congenital contracture syndrome. Using exome sequencing, we identified a homozygous c.36122delC (p. P12041Lfs*20) variant in exon 167 in the fetal IC isoform of TTN. The...
