Susceptibility
  • to frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TARDBP inclusions (FTLD-TDP)
  • to neurodegenerative disease frontotemporal lobar degeneration
  • to Parkinson's disease (PD)
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP , other
  • variants in TMEM106B are a strong risk factor for FTLD-TDP, suggesting an underlying pathogenic mechanism
  • most significant association of decrease of rs1990622, CC genotype with risk of FTLD was observed in the subgroup of GRN mutation carriers (TMEM106B SNPs significantly reduced the disease penetrance in patients with GRN mutations, potentially by modulating GRN levels)
  • variants associated with neurodegenerative disease frontotemporal lobar degeneration risk correlate with increased expression of the 7p21 gene TMEM106B and no other genes
  • rs1990622 and rs3173615 in TMEM106B may be associated with PD patients with initial symptom of rigidity/bradykinesia
