Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN) cause frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) by a mechanism of haploinsufficiency. For most missense mutations, the contribution to FTLD is however unclear. We studied the pathogenicity of rare GRN missense mutations using patient biomaterials. We identified a new mutation in GRN, c.1178 A>C, in a patient with a diagnosis of primary...
