Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous truncating variants in TTN (TTNtv), the gene coding for titin, cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), but the underlying pathomechanisms are unclear and disease management remains uncertain. Truncated titin proteins have not yet been considered as a contributor to disease development. Here, we studied myocardial tissues from nonfailing donor hearts and 113 patients with end-stage DCM for titin...
