Findings

This common variant was reported as being associated with the thickness of cortical regions typically affected by Alzheimer’s disease (Seo et al., 2020). The study examined 274 cognitively normal adults 55 years or older, 137 individuals with mild cognitive impairment, and 94 patients with AD dementia from the Korean Brain Aging Study for the Early Diagnosis and Prediction of Alzheimer’s disease (KBASE). MRI imaging revealed reduced thickness in the inferior frontal and orbitofrontal cortices, as well as in the basal ganglia of non-carriers compared with those of carriers (P = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵, k = 1497). The odds ratio of the association was 0.39 (95 percent CI, 0.25^–0.60; P = 1.7 × 10⁻⁵).

The frequency of this variant in the KBASE cohort is 0.161, similar to that found worldwide (0.154, gnomAD v2.1.1 [non-neuro], Nov 2020).
