Mutations

PSEN1 I437V

Overview

Pathogenicity: Alzheimer's Disease : Pathogenic
Clinical Phenotype: Alzheimer's Disease
Reference Assembly: GRCh37/hg19
Position: Chr14:73685902 A>G
dbSNP ID: NA
Coding/Non-Coding: Coding
Mutation Type: Point, Missense
Codon Change: ATC to GTC
Reference Isoform: PSEN1 Isoform 1 (467 aa)
Genomic Region: Exon 12

Findings

This mutation was identified by whole exome sequencing in a Frenchwoman diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease according to NINDCS-ADRDA criteria (Nicolas et al., 2015). She was 57 years old when symptoms first appeared. Her clinical presentation was consistent with typical AD. Her APOE genotype was E3/E4. She had no family history of AD.

Neuropathology

Unknown.

Biological Effect

An in vitro assay using purified proteins to test the ability of this mutant to cleave the APP-C99 substrate revealed reduced production of Aβ40 and Aβ42 compared with wildtype PSEN1, and an Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio that was elevated more than fivefold (Sun et al., 2017).
