Findings

In a French cohort of 927 late-onset Alzheimer’s disease cases, 852 early onset AD cases, and 1,273 controls from the Alzheimer Disease Exome Sequencing France (ADESFR) project, one late-onset patient was found to be a heterozygous carrier of this variant (Bellenguez et al., 2017).

In a study that included 15,808 Alzheimer’s cases and 16,097 control subjects from multiple European and American cohorts, including ADESFR, this allele was observed once among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

Functional Consequences

The SORL1 protein contains 11 complement-type repeats (CRs). A majority of known SORL1 ligands, including APP, bind to the CR cluster. Methionine-1294, within CR6, is a so-called “fingerprint” residue. As substitutions at fingerprint residues impair ligand binding in other proteins containing CR domains, Andersen and colleagues predicted that SORL1 mutations affecting fingerprint residues are moderately likely to increase AD risk. A pathogenic variant was identified in a homologous position in LDLR (linked to familial hypercholesterolemia 1) (Andersen et al., 2023).

This variant was predicted to be deleterious by SIFT, disease-causing by Mutation Taster, and probably damaging PolyPhen-2 (Bellenguez et al., 2017).
