Findings

This mutation was identified in a French study that screened 129 individuals with sporadic AD diagnosed according to the National Institute of Aging–Alzheimer’s Association criteria with an age at onset below 51 (Lanoiselée et al., 2017). The mutation carrier had progressive cognitive decline beginning at age 50, and a disease duration of six years. The carrier was homozygous for the APOE4 allele. It is unknown if the mutation arose de novo, as parental DNA was unavailable. The mutation was absent from the exome database ExAC, including approximately 60,000 controls.

Neuropathology
Unknown

Biological Effect

Several in silico algorithms (SIFT, Polyphen-2, LRT, MutationTaster, MutationAssessor, FATHMM, PROVEAN, CADD, REVEL, and Reve in the VarCards database) predicted this variant is damaging (Xiao et al., 2021).

Based on the pathogenicity criteria developed by Guerreiro and colleagues (Guerreiro et al., 2010), this mutation was classified as possibly pathogenic (Lanoiselée et al., 2017).

Pathogenicity

Alzheimer's Disease : Not Classified*

*This variant fulfilled some ACMG-AMP criteria, but it was not classified by Alzforum, because data for either a pathogenic or benign classification are lacking: only one affected carrier has been reported without co-segregation data, and the variant is absent—or very rare—in the gnomAD database.

This variant fulfilled the following criteria based on the ACMG/AMP guidelines. See a full list of the criteria in the Methods page.
