Reference
Isoform: TREM2 Isoform 2 (219 aa)
Genomic
Region: Exon 4 of transcript variant 2
Findings
In a North American cohort, the G219C variant was found in one of 210 Alzheimer’s patients and none of 233 controls (p = 0.45) (Ghani et al., 2016).
Neuropathology
No data.
Biological Effect
The glycine-to-cysteine substitution at amino acid 219 was predicted by SIFT to be damaging but by Polyphen2 to be benign (Ghani et al., 2016).
