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 a donor splice site in intron 7 of the GRN gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in GRN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16862116, 16950801, 22608501). This variant is present in population databases (rs63749817, gnomAD 0.009%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of frontotemporal dementia (PMID: 17030534, 23463024, 28430294, 28749476, 30054184, 30992141). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 203460). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
