Disease

T106B_HUMAN Progressive non-fluent aphasia;Semantic dementia;Behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia. The gene represented in this entry acts as a disease modifier. Risk alleles confer genetic susceptibility by increasing gene expression (PubMed:20154673, PubMed:21178100). Increased expression may be the result of down-regulation of microRNA miR-132 and miR-212, that repress TMEM106B expression (PubMed:22895706). Thr-185 is a risk allele associated with lower GRN protein levels and early age at onset in GRN UP-FTD mutation carriers: it presents slower protein degradation that leads to higher steady-state TMEM106B levels, leading to alterations in the intracellular versus extracellular partitioning of GRN (PubMed:23742080).^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} The gene represented in this entry acts as a disease modifier. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

T106B_HUMAN Involved in dendrite morphogenesis and maintenance by regulating lysosomal trafficking via its interaction with MAP6. May act by inhibiting retrograde transport of lysosomes along dendrites. Required for dendrite branching.^{[5] [6]}
