Findings

This variant has been found in several cohorts, in both Alzheimer’s cases and controls (Campion et al., 2019; Holstege et al., 2017; Sassi et al., 2016; Vardarajan et al., 2015; Verheijen et al., 2016). It did not associate with AD in a multi-center European study that included subjects from Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Germany, and the Czech Republic (Verheijen et al., 2016) or in a study of Caucasian subjects from Britain and North America (Sassi et al., 2016). Meta analysis of five studies including more than 18,000 subjects of European or European American ancestry did not show an association between the F1099L variant and AD (Campion et al., 2019). Most recently, the variant was not found to associate with AD in a mega-analysis of nearly 32,000 subjects from multiple European and American datasets (Holstege et al., 2022).

However, in a family- and cohort-based study of Caribbean Hispanics, joint linkage and association analysis, a method that allowed researchers to analyze together data from families and unrelated subjects, showed that the F1099L variant associated with AD (Vardarajan et al., 2015).

This variant was classified as likely benign by the criteria of Holstege et al. (Holstege et al., 2017).

Functional Consequences

The F1099L variant was predicted to be tolerated by SIFT and benign by PolyPhen-2, but disease-causing by Mutation Taster (Campion et al., 2019).

In a study investigating the effects of SORL1 missense mutations on protein processing, the F1099L variant did not affect the maturation (glycosylation) of SORL1 overexpressed in HEK293 cells (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021).

This table is meant to convey the range of results reported in the literature. As specific analyses, including co-variates, differ among studies, this information is not intended to be used for quantitative comparisons, and readers are encouraged to refer to the original papers. Thresholds for statistical significance were defined by the authors of each study. (Significant results are in bold.) Note that data from some cohorts may have contributed to multiple studies, so each row does not necessarily represent an independent dataset. While every effort was made to be accurate, readers should confirm any values that are critical for their applications.
