Long-Reads Sequencing Strategy to Localize Variants in TTN Repeated Domains

Sandra Whalen

Résumé

Titin protein is responsible for muscle elasticity. The TTN gene, composed of 364 exons, is subjected to extensive alternative splicing and leads to different isoforms expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Variants in TTN are responsible for myopathies with a wide phenotypic spectrum and autosomal dominant or recessive transmission. The I-band coding domain, highly subject to alternative splicing, contains a three-zone block of repeated sequences with 99% homology. Sequencing and localization of variants in these areas are complex when using short-reads sequencing, a second-generation sequencing technique. We have implemented a protocol based on the third-generation sequencing technology (long-reads sequencing). This new method allows us to localize variants in these repeated areas to improve the diagnosis of TTN-related myopathies and offer the analysis of relatives in postnatal or in prenatal screening.
