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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 514 of the GRN protein (p.Val514Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs142926942, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of GRN-related conditions (PMID: 18565828, 18838661, 22312439, 30279455). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 587957). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt GRN protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on GRN function (PMID: 30279455). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Functional studies demonstrate that the V514M variant has no effect on the expression or secretion of progranulin or its ability to be processed by proteases (PMID: 26811050); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22312439, 18565828, 26811050, 18838661, 31617930, 24252647, 30279455) -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.V514M variant (also known as c.1540G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the GRN gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1540. The valine at codon 514 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in individuals with Alzheimer and Parkinson disease but without a confirmed diagnosis of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) (Brouwers N et al. Neurology. 2008;71:656-64; Nuytemans K et al. Neurology. 2008;71:1147-51). This alteration was also reported in one individual with early onset Alzheimer disease in a cohort of 3241 patients with dementia as compared to 13/141352 individuals in the gnomAD database (Koriath C et al. Mol. Psychiatry, 2018; [Epub ahead of print]). A functional study found this variant did not have a significant effect on GRN secretion (Kleinberger G et al. Neurobiol Aging. 2016;39:220.e17-26). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
