Findings

In a study that included 15,808 Alzheimer’s cases and 16,097 control subjects from multiple European and American cohorts, this allele was observed once among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

This variant was previously reported in a French subject with early onset Alzheimer’s disease recruited by the French National CNR-MAJ consortium (Nicolas et al., 2016). The carrier’s age of onset was 57 years and her APOE genotype was E3/E4. Whether her family had a history of AD was unknown. The CNR-MAJ cohort was included in the 2022 study cited above.

This variant had been selected for genotyping in a North American sample of 217 sporadic early onset AD cases and 169 controls, based on its occurrence in the Exome Variant Server database as a nonsynonymous variant with a minor allele frequency <5 percent. The variant was not found in this cohort. Nor was it found by whole- exome or genome sequencing of 866 familial late-onset AD cases and 324 controls in the same study (Fernández et al., 2016).

Functional Consequences

The G543E variant impaired maturation (glycosylation) and trafficking to the plasma membrane of SORL1 overexpressed in HEK293 cells (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021).

The mutation was predicted to be deleterious by SIFT, disease-causing by Mutation Taster, and probably damaging by PolyPhen-2 (Nicolas et al., 2016).
