Findings

In a whole-exome sequencing study of more than 20,000 individuals (6,965 Alzheimer’s disease cases and 13,232 controls) from the Washington Heights-Inwood Columbia Aging Project, the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project, and the Institute of Genomic Medicine at Columbia University, this protein-truncating variant was found in a single subject—a non-Hispanic white woman with autopsy-confirmed Alzheimer’s disease (Braak stage 6) (Raghavan et al., 2018).

Subsequently, in a study that included 15,808 Alzheimer’s cases and 16,097 control subjects from multiple European and American cohorts, including ADSP, this allele was observed twice among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

Functional Consequences

The variant is predicted to be disease-causing by Mutation Taster (Campion et al., 2019).
