Findings

This mutation was found in a U.K. genetic screen of more than 3,000 samples of patients with dementia (Koriath et al., 2018). The mutation carrier was a woman diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia with a known negative family history of the disease. Her age at onset was 47. The mutation was absent from genetic variant databases, including ExAC and gnomAD.

Neuropathology
Unknown

Biological Effect
The biological effect of this mutation is unknown. Several pathogenic mutations have been reported nearby. In silico predictions yielded conflicting results.

Based on their proposed pathogenicity algorithm, Koriath and colleagues classified the mutation as likely deleterious.
