Findings

The variant was found in one of 5198 Alzheimer's cases and none of 4491 controls in 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 (Campion et al., 2019).

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 once among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

Functional Consequences

The SORL1 VPS10P domain resembles a 10-bladed propeller, with the blades arranged around a central tunnel. Valine-137 is part of a stretch of hydrophobic residues conserved among the propeller blades and thought to have a role in the formation of the tunnel, as well as providing a hydrophobic surface that allows small lipophilic ligands to bind within the tunnel (Kitago et al., 2015). Andersen and colleagues have predicted that non-conservative substitutions at this position will have a moderate effect on disease-risk (Andersen et al., 2023).

The V137G variant was predicted to be deleterious by SIFT, Mutation Taster, and PolyPhen-2 (Campion et al., 2019).
