Findings

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 five times—four times among the AD cases and once among the controls (Holstege et al., 2022). A mega-analysis of these data did not find an association between the variant and AD risk.

Previously, this variant was reported in one of 5198 Alzheimer's cases and none of 4491 controls in a dataset from the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP), consisting of subjects of non-Hispanic Caucasian ancestry from whom whole-exome sequencing data were available (Campion et al., 2019). The carrier was classified as having early onset AD. The ADSP contributed data to the 2022 study cited above.

A second carrier—a control subject—was found in a sample of 852 early onset Alzheimer’s disease cases, 927 late-onset AD cases, and 1273 controls from the Alzheimer Disease Exome Sequencing France (ADESFR) project (Campion et al., 2019). The ADESFR also contributed data to the 2022 study.

Functional Consequences

The R788W variant was predicted to be deleterious by SIFT, Mutation Taster, and PolyPhen-2 (Campion et al., 2019).

In a study investigating the effects of SORL1 missense mutations on protein processing, the R788W variant did not affect the maturation (glycosylation) of SORL1 overexpressed in HEK293 cells (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021).
