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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-44351438-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-44351438-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 98162.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-44351438-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 98162). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with frontotemporal dementia (PMID: 16950801, 20142524, 23338682). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp304*) 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). -
