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, the S564G variant was reported in one of 1383 Alzheimer’s cases from the Centre National de Référence - Malades Alzheimer Jeunes (CNR-MAJ), the French national reference center for young Alzheimer patients (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021). The CNR-MAJ is one of the cohorts included in the 2022 study cited above.

Functional Consequences

Serine-564 is part of a conserved motif within the propellers of the VPS10P domain called the “Asp-box.” While the function of this motif is not known, it has been suggested that it stabilizes the propeller. Andersen and colleagues have predicted that mutations at this position are highly likely to associate with AD risk (Andersen et al., 2023).

This variant was predicted to be damaging by SIFT, Mutation Taster, and Polyphen-2 (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021).

The S564G variant impaired maturation (glycosylation) and trafficking to the plasma membrane of SORL1 overexpressed in HEK293 cells (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021).
