Findings

This mutation introduces a premature stop codon at amino acid 985. 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 twice among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

Previously, the variant was reported in one family (three cases and one control) among 345 participating in a study of familial late-onset AD, where it segregated perfectly with disease under a dominant model (Fernández et al., 2016).

The R985Ter 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. It was not found in this cohort (Fernández et al., 2016).
