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]

Submissions by phenotype

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 28, 2018The p.A582T variant (also known as c.1744G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the GRN gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1744. The alanine at codon 582 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was detected in one of 179 controls, but absent in 141 cases with late-onset Alzehimer's disease (Sassi C et al. Neurobiol. Aging, 2014 Dec;35:2881.e1-2881.e6). This amino acid position is poorly 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. -
GRN-related frontotemporal lobar degeneration with Tdp43 inclusions;C3539123:Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 11 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 02, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 582 of the GRN protein (p.Ala582Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs72824737, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1779262). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The threonine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
