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 four times among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

Previously, this variant was reported in three of 5198 AD cases and none of 4491 controls in a dataset from the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP), consisting of subjects of non-Hispanic Caucasian ancestry from whom whole-exome sequencing data were available (Campion et al., 2019). The ADSP contributed data to 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 R679W variant was predicted to be deleterious by SIFT, Mutation Taster, and PolyPhen-2 (Campion et al., 2019).
