Findings

The P76L variant was found in one of 1383 Alzheimer’s cases from the Centre National de Référence - Malades Alzheimer Jeunes (CNR-MAJ), the French national reference center for young Alzheimer patients (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021).

In a study that included 15,808 Alzheimer’s cases and 16,097 control subjects from multiple European and American cohorts, including CNR-MAJ, this allele was observed 18 times—nine times among the AD cases and nine times among the controls (Holstege et al., 2022). A mega-analysis of these data did not find an association between the variant and AD risk.

Earlier, 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

In a study investigating the effects of SORL1 missense mutations on protein processing, the P76L variant did not affect the maturation (glycosylation) of SORL1 overexpressed in HEK293 cells (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021). The variant was predicted to be deleterious by SIFT, Mutation Taster, and PolyPhen-2.
