Mutations
PSEN1 Q222H
Quick Links
Overview
Pathogenicity: Alzheimer's Disease : Pathogenic
Clinical Phenotype: Alzheimer's Disease
Reference Assembly: GRCh37 (105)
Position: Chr14:73659469 G>C
dbSNP ID: rs63751072
Coding/Non-Coding: Coding
Mutation Type: Point, Missense
Codon Change: CAG to CAC
Reference Isoform: PSEN1 isoform 1 (467 aa)
Genomic Region: Exon 7
Findings
This mutation was found in an Australian woman diagnosed with dementia at 35 years of age (Miklossy et al., 2003). She subsequently developed seizures, aphasia, decreasing mobility, and swallowing difficulties. Three family members also developed dementia in their late 30s or early 40s. The proband’s daughter was found to carry the mutation, but was asymptomatic at age 30. The mutation was absent from 100 unrelated controls.
Neuropathology
Neuropathology was consistent with AD in the proband.
Biological Effect
In the proband, Aβ42 but not Aβ40, was detectable by immunoblot and ELISA in frontal cortex homogenates.
