Overview

Pathogenicity: Alzheimer's Disease : Unclear Pathogenicity
Reference Assembly: GRCh37/hg19
Position: Chr6:41126346 G>T
dbSNP ID: rs768583708
Coding/Non-Coding: Coding
DNA Change: Substitution
Expected RNA Consequence: Substitution
Expected Protein Consequence: Missense
Codon Change: GGT to TGT
Reference Isoform: TREM2 Isoform 2 (219 aa)
Genomic Region: Exon 4 of transcript variant 2

Findings

In a North American cohort, the G219C variant was found in one of 210 Alzheimer’s patients and none of 233 controls (p = 0.45) (Ghani et al., 2016).

Neuropathology

No data.

Biological Effect

The glycine-to-cysteine substitution at amino acid 219 was predicted by SIFT to be damaging but by Polyphen2 to be benign (Ghani et al., 2016).
