Findings

This mutation was identified in a screen of patients with early onset AD from 28 French hospitals (Lanoiselée et al., 2017). Families were included when at least two first-degree relatives, spanning two generations, suffered from early onset AD with an age of onset of 65 years or younger. Age at onset in this pedigree ranged from 47 to 48 years and disease duration from three to four years. The clinical presentation was mainly progressive cognitive decline. Only the proband was confirmed as a mutation carrier. The mutation was absent from the exome database ExAC, including approximately 60,000 controls. The proband was homozygous for APOE3.

Neuropathology
Neuropathological data are unavailable, but levels of Aβ42, tau, and phospho-tau in the mutation carrier’s cerebrospinal fluid were in the AD pathological range (235 pg/ml; 672 pg/ml; and 104 pg/ml, respectively).

Biological effect
Unknown but several in silico algorithms (SIFT, Polyphen-2, LRT, MutationTaster, MutationAssessor, FATHMM, PROVEAN, CADD, REVEL, and Reve in the VarCards database) predicted this variant is damaging (Xiao et al., 2021).

Based on the pathogenicity criteria developed by Guerreiro and colleagues (Guerreiro et al., 2010), this mutation was classified as probably pathogenic (Lanoiselée et al., 2017).

Pathogenicity

Alzheimer's Disease : Not Classified*

*This variant fulfilled some ACMG-AMP criteria, but it was not classified by Alzforum, because data for either a pathogenic or benign classification are lacking: only one affected carrier has been reported without co-segregation data, and the variant is absent—or very rare—in the gnomAD database.

This variant fulfilled the following criteria based on the ACMG/AMP guidelines. See a full list of the criteria in the Methods page.

PM1-M

Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g. active site of an enzyme) without benign variation.

PM2-M

Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium. *Alzforum uses the gnomAD variant database.

PP2-P

Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.

PP3-P

Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.). *In most cases, Alzforum applies this criterion when the variant’s PHRED-scaled CADD score is greater than or equal to 20.
