Findings

The D39E variant was found in one of 783 cognitively healthy controls and in none of 726 AD patients in a French study (Pottier et al., 2013). In a Belgian study, this variant was found in two of 1216 AD patients and in none of 359 FTD patients or 1094 cognitively healthy controls (Cuyvers et al., 2014). Subsequently, the variant was not associated with AD in a case-control study of more than 30,000 Caucasian subjects (odds ratio: 0.87, p = 0.8) (Sims et al., 2017).

Neuropathology

No data.

Biological Effect

This variant was predicted to be possibly damaging by Polyphen-2 (Cuyvers et al., 2014; Pottier et al., 2013), but to be tolerated by SIFT and neutral by SNPs&Go (Cuyvers et al., 2014).
