Findings

This variant was seen in both Alzheimer’s patients and unaffected individuals of European ancestry. An association with AD was not seen in a mega-analysis of case-control data, but an association was reported in an analysis that included family data.

One late-onset AD case and one control were found to carry this variant among a group of 1273 controls, 927 late-onset Alzheimer disease cases, and 852 early onset AD cases from the Alzheimer Disease Exome Sequencing France (ADESFR) project (Bellenguez et al., 2017; Campion et al., 2019).

A report from the European Early-Onset Dementia Consortium identified four of 1255 AD cases and three of 1938 controls as heterozygous carriers of the T1435S variant (Verheijen et al., 2016).

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 42 times—20 times among the AD cases and 22 times among the controls (Holstege et al., 2022). A mega-analysis of these data did not find an association between the variant and AD risk.

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

The T1435S variant is classified as benign by the criteria of Holstege et al. (Holstege et al., 2017).

Functional Consequences

The T1435S variant was predicted to be deleterious by Mutation Taster but tolerated by SIFT and benign by PolyPhen-2 (Campion et al., 2019).

In a study investigating the effects of SORL1 missense mutations on protein processing, the T1435S 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.
