8.A.218.1.1
TREM2 of 230 aas and 2 TMSs, N- and C-terminal.  It plays a role in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) that is a common cause of presenile dementia and is characterized by behavioural and/or language changes leading to progressive cognitive deficits (Lok and Kwok 2021). A rare heterozygous TREM2 coding variant identified in familial clustering of dementia affects an intrinsically disordered protein region and function of TREM2 (Karsak et al. 2020).
