Findings

This splice-donor-site variant was identified in an individual with early onset Alzheimer’s disease from the Centre National de Référence - Malades Alzheimer Jeunes (CNR-MAJ, the French national reference center for young Alzheimer patients), a component of the Alzheimer Disease Exome Sequencing France (ADESFR) project (Bellenguez et al., 2017; Nicolas et al., 2018). The carrier was 55 years old at symptom onset with an APOE genotype E3/E3. There was no known family history of AD, although several of the proband’s family members may be too young to be informative: four siblings were unaffected at ages from 52 to 65 years, as were her parents, ages 60 and 80 at the times of their deaths (Schramm et al., 2022).

No additional carriers were found among 9204 AD cases and 9646 controls of European ancestry in five non-overlapping studies meta-analyzed by Campion et al. (Campion et al., 2019): 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; Bellenguez et al., 2017; Holstege et al., 2017; Verheijen et al., 2016; and Sassi et al., 2016.

In a study that included 15,808 Alzheimer’s cases and 16,097 control subjects from multiple European and American cohorts, including CNR-MAJ and ADESFR, this allele was observed once among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).
