Findings

In a case-control study of almost 34,000 Caucasian individuals, the A192T variant did not associate with Alzheimer’s disease (approximately 18,000 AD and 16,000 controls; odds ratio: 4.57, p = 0.17) (Sims et al., 2017). Nor did the variant associate with AD in a smaller study of Han Chinese, where it was found in two of 988 AD patients and none of 1354 controls (p = 0.71) (Jiang et al., 2016).

Neuropathology

No data.

Biological Effect

The alanine-to-threonine substitution at amino acid 192 was predicted to be possibly damaging by Polyphen2 (Jiang et al., 2016).
