Title	Microglial GRB2 is essential for brain ventriculogenesis and CSF homeostasis
Description	Microglia play essential yet poorly understood roles in brain development, including axon guidance, regulation of neurogenesis, and pruning of neuronal projections. Congenital hydrocephalus (CH), characterized by enlarged cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled ventricles, is a leading cause of pediatric brain surgery, but its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We have identified novel, recurrent, damaging missense variants in the SH3-binding domain of the adaptor protein Growth Factor Receptor-Bound Protein 2 (GRB2) in unrelated patients with CH. GRB2 is significantly co-expressed with one of its known upstream receptor tyrosine kinase partners, CSF1R, in the developing human brain, particularly in a microglial subtype associated with regulation of neural stem cells. Immunoprecipitation validated GRB2-CSF1R binding in mouse microglial cells and human monocytes. Cx3Cr1-Grb2fl/fl mice engineered with conditional deletion of Grb2 in microglia exhibit congenital absence of microglia and early postnatal severe communicating (non-obstructive) hydrocephalus, mimicking GRB2-mutant patients. The severe ventriculomegaly of Cx3Cr1-Grb2fl/fl mice is associated with both depletion of cerebral cortical neurons and impairment of glia-lymphatic-mediated CSF flow. Together, these findings implicate a novel role of GRB2 in microglia that could be essential for brain development and CSF homeostasis.
