TTN
Associated conditions:
- TTN-cardiomyopathy
TTN makes titin, the giant spring-like protein that gives heart muscle its structure and elasticity in each beat. Genetic changes that cut the protein short are associated with an autosomal dominant condition and are the most common genetic cause of dilated cardiomyopathy, a weakened, enlarged heart. Knowing your genetic status enables heart monitoring and early treatment.
Conditions linked to TTN
TTN-cardiomyopathy
TTN-related cardiomyopathy is caused by variants in titin, a giant muscle protein, and is a common genetic cause of a dilated, weakened heart. Carriers benefit from heart monitoring so any change in pumping is caught and treated early.
