Abstract excerpt
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to titin (TTN) and its mutations. Heterozygous TTN truncating variants (TTNtv) increase the risk of a cardiomyopathy. At the same time, TTNtv and few missense variants have been identified in patients with mainly recessive skeletal muscle diseases. The pathogenic mechanisms underlying titin-related diseases are still partly unknown. Similarly, the titin...
