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).

Previously, a 94-year-old AD patient was reported to be a heterozygous carrier of this variant, in a Dutch sample of 640 Alzheimer’s cases and 1268 controls. No additional carriers were found in a pan-European cohort of 1255 early onset AD cases and 1938 controls (Holstege et al. 2017). The cohorts comprising the Dutch sample contributed data to the 2022 study cited above.

The variant is classified as likely pathogenic by the criteria of Holstege et al., 2017 (Holstege et al., 2017).

Functional Consequences

The R679Q variant was predicted to be tolerated by SIFT, but deleterious by Mutation Taster and PolyPhen-2 (Campion et al., 2019).
