Findings

This protein-truncating variant was identified in a subject from the Centre National de Référence Malades Alzheimer Jeunes (CNR-MAJ), the French National Reference Center for Young Alzheimer Patients (Pottier et al., 2012; Nicolas et al., 2016; Schramm et al., 2022). The carrier’s age of onset was 58 years, and her ApoE genotype is E3/E4. The proband’s mother also suffered from AD, with an age of onset of 65 years; genotype information was not available from this individual.

No additional carriers were found in a French data set containing 852 early onset AD cases, 927 late-onset cases, and 1273 controls from the Alzheimer Disease Exome Sequencing France (ADESFR) project (Bellenguez et al., 2017).

This variant was among those reported by Nicolas et al. (Nicolas et al., 2016) selected for genotyping in a North American cohort of 217 early onset AD cases and 169 controls. The variant was not found in this cohort. Nor was it found by whole- exome or genome sequencing of 866 familial late-onset AD cases and 324 controls in the same study (Fernández 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 CNR-MAJ and ADESFR, this allele was observed once among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

Functional Consequences

This variant is predicted to be disease-causing by Mutation Taster (Pottier et al., 2012).
