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 once among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

Functional Consequences

Isoleucine-1710 is located in the second of SORL1’s six 3Fn domains—named for fibronectin, the protein in which homologous domains were first described. SORL1’s 3Fn-cassette mediates receptor dimerization, which facilitates retromer-dependent transport of cargo out of endosomes (Jensen et al., 2023). Each 3Fn domain contains seven β-strands; isoleucine-1710 is in strand E, identified by secondary-structure predictions (Andersen et al., 2023). Andersen and colleagues predicted that mutations of the hydrophobic amino acid at this position will have a moderate effect on disease-risk.

Pathogenic variants were identified at a homologous position in cardiac myosin-binding protein-C, causing familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (CMH4) (Andersen et al., 2023).
