Findings

This four-nucleotide insertion results in a frameshift and the introduction of a premature stop codon.

In a Dutch sample of 640 Alzheimer’s cases and 1268 controls, a 57-year-old AD patient was found to be a heterozygous carrier of this variant.

No additional carriers were found among 5198 AD cases and 4491 controls from the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project from whom whole-exome sequencing data were available, 1779 AD cases and 1273 controls from the Alzheimer Disease Exome Sequencing France project, 332 cases and 676 controls of European ancestry from the United Kingdom and North America (Campion et al., 2019), or 1256 cases and 1938 controls from the European Early Onset Dementia Consortium (Holstege et al., 2017).

In a study that included 15,808 Alzheimer’s cases and 16,097 control subjects from multiple European and American cohorts, this allele was observed once among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022); this combined dataset included cohorts that contributed to the Dutch sample cited above.

The variant is classified as pathogenic by the criteria of Holstege et al. (Holstege et al., 2017).
