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 variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with FTLD-TDP or neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16020). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant frontotemporal dementia and autosomal recessive neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 18245784, 20947212, 21891869, 22127750, 22608501). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr272Serfs*10) in the GRN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GRN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16862116, 16950801, 22608501). -
