Genes affected

GRN (HGNC:4601): (granulin precursor) Granulins are a family of secreted, glycosylated peptides that are cleaved from a single precursor protein with 7.5 repeats of a highly conserved 12-cysteine granulin/epithelin motif. The 88 kDa precursor protein, progranulin, is also called proepithelin and PC cell-derived growth factor. Cleavage of the signal peptide produces mature granulin which can be further cleaved into a variety of active, 6 kDa peptides. These smaller cleavage products are named granulin A, granulin B, granulin C, etc. Epithelins 1 and 2 are synonymous with granulins A and B, respectively. Both the peptides and intact granulin protein regulate cell growth. However, different members of the granulin protein family may act as inhibitors, stimulators, or have dual actions on cell growth. Granulin family members are important in normal development, wound healing, and tumorigenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the GRN mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 142. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individuals with frontotemporal dementia (PMID: 16862115, 16862116, 18245784, 21482928, 23609919, 28543767). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
