Abstract

Rare variants in the phospholipase D3 gene (PLD3) were associated with increased risk for late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD). We identified a missense mutation in PLD3 in whole-genome sequence data of a patient with autopsy confirmed Alzheimer disease (AD) and onset age of 50 years. Subsequently, we sequenced PLD3 in a Belgian early-onset Alzheimer disease (EOAD) patient (N = 261) and control (N = 319) cohort, as well as in European EOAD patients (N = 946) and control individuals (N = 1,209) ascertained in different European countries. Overall, we identified 22 rare variants with a minor allele frequency

Abstract

IntroductionPatients with familial early-onset dementia (EOD) pose a unique opportunity for gene identification studies. MethodsWe present the phenotype and whole-exome sequencing (WES) study of an autosomal dominant EOD family. Candidate genes were examined in a set of dementia cases and controls (n = 3712). Western blotting was conducted of the wild-type and mutant protein of the final candidate. ResultsAge at disease onset was 60 years (range 56 to 63). The phenotype comprised mixed amnestic and behavioral features, and parkinsonism. Cerebrospinal fluid and plasma biomarkers, and a positron emission tomography amyloid study suggested Alzheimer's disease. WES and the segregation pattern pointed to a nonsense mutation in the TRIM25 gene (p.C168*), coding for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, which was absent in the cohorts studied. Protein studies supported a loss-of-function mechanism. DiscussionThis study supports a new physiopathological mechanism for brain amyloidosis. Furthermore, it extends the role of E3 ubiquitin ligases dysfunction in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. HighlightsA TRIM25 nonsense mutation (p.C168*) is associated with autosomal dominant early-onset dementia and parkinsonism with biomarkers suggestive of Alzheimer's disease.TRIM25 protein studies support that the mutation exerts its effect through loss of function.TRIM25, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is known for its role in the innate immune response but this is the first report of association with neurodegeneration.The role of TRIM25 dysfunction in development of amyloidosis and neurodegeneration merits a new line of research.

Abstract

The G4C2-repeat expansion in C9orf72 is the most common cause of frontotemporal dementia and of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The variability of age at onset and phenotypic presentations is a hallmark of C9orf72 disease. In this study, we aimed to identify modifying factors of disease onset in C9orf72 carriers using a family-based approach, in pairs of C9orf72 carrier relatives with concordant or discordant age at onset. Linkage and association analyses provided converging evidence for a locus on chromosome Xq27.3. The minor allele A of rs1009776 was associated with an earlier onset (P = 1 × 10−5). The association with onset of dementia was replicated in an independent cohort of unrelated C9orf72 patients (P = 0.009). The protective major allele delayed the onset of dementia from 5 to 13 years on average depending on the cohort considered. The same trend was observed in an independent cohort of C9orf72 patients with extreme deviation of the age at onset (P = 0.055). No association of rs1009776 was detected in GRN patients, suggesting that the effect of rs1009776 was restricted to the onset of dementia due to C9orf72. The minor allele A is associated with a higher SLITRK2 expression based on both expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) databases and in-house expression studies performed on C9orf72 brain tissues. SLITRK2 encodes for a post-synaptic adhesion protein. We further show that synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 and synaptophysin, two synaptic vesicle proteins, were decreased in frontal cortex of C9orf72 patients carrying the minor allele. Upregulation of SLITRK2 might be associated with synaptic dysfunctions and drives adverse effects in C9orf72 patients that could be modulated in those carrying the protective allele. How the modulation of SLITRK2 expression affects synaptic functions and influences the disease onset of dementia in C9orf72 carriers will require further investigations. In summary, this study describes an original approach to detect modifier genes in rare diseases and reinforces rising links between C9orf72 and synaptic dysfunctions that might directly influence the occurrence of first symptoms.

Abstract

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a clinical, genetic, and pathologic heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we investigated the role of APOƐ4, rs5848 in GRN, and rs1042522 in TP53 gene as disease risk factors and/or phenotype modifiers in 440 FTD patients, including 175 C9orf72 expansion carriers. We found that the C9orf72 expansion carriers showing an earlier age at onset (p < 0.001). Among the clinical groups, the FTD-MND (motoneuron disease) showed the lowest survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 4.12), and the progressive nonfluent aphasia group showed the highest onset age (p = 0.03). In our cohort, the rs1042522 in TP53 was associated with disease onset (p = 0.02) and survival (HR = 1.73) and rs5848 GRN with a significantly shorter survival in CC homozygous patients (HR = 1.98). The frequency of APOƐ4 carriers was significantly increased in the C9orf72 noncarriers (p = 0.022). Although validation of our findings is necessary, our results suggest that TP53, GRN, and APOE genes may act as phenotype modifiers in FTD and should be considered in future clinical trials.

Abstract

We evaluated the genetic contribution of the T cell-restricted intracellular antigen-1 gene (TIA1) in a European cohort of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. Exonic resequencing of TIA1 in 1120 patients (693 FTD, 341 ALS, 86 FTD-ALS) and 1039 controls identified in total 5 rare heterozygous missense variants, affecting the TIA1 low-complexity domain (LCD). Only 1 missense variant, p.Met290Thr, identified in a familial FTD patient with disease onset at 64 years, was absent from controls yet received a combined annotation-dependent depletion score of 11.42. By contrast, 3 of the 4 variants also detected in unaffected controls, p.Val294Glu, p.Gln318Arg, and p.Ala381Thr, had combined annotation-dependent depletion scores greater than 20. Our findings in a large European patient-control series indicate that variants in TIA1 are not a common cause of ALS and FTD. The observation of recurring TIA1 missense variants in unaffected individuals lead us to conclude that the exact genetic contribution of TIA1 to ALS and FTD pathogenesis remains to be further elucidated. ispartof: NEUROBIOLOGY OF AGING vol:69 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract

© 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/), We investigated the genetic role of sortilin (SORT1) in frontotemporal dementia (FTD). SORT1 is the neuronal receptor for granulin, encoded by the progranulin gene (GRN), a major causal gene for inherited FTD. In Belgian cohorts of 636 FTD patients and 1066 unaffected control individuals, we identified 5 patient-only nonsynonymous rare variants in SORT1. Rare variant burden analysis showed a significant increase in rare coding variants in patients compared to control individuals (p = 0.04), particularly in the β-propeller domain (p = 0.04), with 2 rare variants located in the predicted binding site for GRN (p = 0.001). We extended these observations by analyzing 3 independent patient/control cohorts sampled in Spain, Italy, and Portugal by partners of the European Early-Onset Dementia Consortium, together with 1155 FTD patients and 1161 control persons. An additional 7 patient-only nonsynonymous variants were observed in SORT1 in European patients. Meta-analysis of the rare nonsynonymous variants in the Belgian and European patient/control cohorts revealed a significant enrichment in FTD patients (p = 0.006), establishing SORT1 as a genetic risk factor for FTD., The research was funded in part by the Belgian Science Policy Office Interuniversity Attraction Poles program; the Flemish government initiated Methusalem excellence program and Impulse Program on Networks for Dementia Research; the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), the Agency for Innovation by Science and Technology Flanders (IWT) and the University of Antwerp Research Fund; Belgium. SP received a PhD fellowship of the FWO and EW of the IWT. RG, LB, and GB (IRCCS Fatebenefratelli, Brescia, Italy) were supported by Ricerca Corrente, Italian Ministry of Health.

Abstract

TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) loss-of-function (LoF) mutations are known to cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often combined with memory deficits early in the disease course. We performed targeted resequencing of TBK1 in 1253 early onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) patients from 8 European countries to investigate whether pathogenic TBK1 mutations are enriched among patients with clinical diagnosis of EOAD. Variant frequencies were compared against 2117 origin-matched controls. We identified only 1 LoF mutation (p.Thr79del) in a patient clinically diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and a positive family history of ALS. We did not observe enrichment of rare variants in EOAD patients compared to controls, nor of rare variants affecting NFκB induction. Of 3 common coding variants, rs7486100 showed evidence of association (OR 1.46 [95% CI 1.13-1.9]; p-value 0.01). Homozygous carriers of the risk allele showed reduced expression of TBK1 (p-value 0.03). Our findings are not indicative of a significant role for TBK1 mutations in EOAD. The association between common variants in TBK1, disease risk and reduced TBK1 expression warrants follow-up in FTD/ALS cohorts. ispartof: Neurobiology of Aging vol:62 pages:245- ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract

Altres ajuts: The sponsors of the study had no role in study design, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, or writing of the report. The research was funded in part by the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development, and demonstration under grant agreement 305299 (AgedBrainSYSBIO), the Belgian Science Policy Office Interuniversity Attraction Poles program, the Alzheimer Research Foundation (SAO-FRA), the Flemish government-initiated Flanders Impulse Program on Networks for Dementia Research (VIND), the Flemish government-initiated Methusalem Excellence Program, the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), the VIB Technology Fund, the University of Antwerp Research Fund, Belgium; European Regional Development Fund, the Italian Ministry of Health (Ricerca Corrente and RF-2010-2319722), and the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pistoia e Pescia grant (2014.0365). Premature termination codon (PTC) mutations in the ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family A, Member 7 gene (ABCA7) have recently been identified as intermediate-to-high penetrant risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). High variability, however, is observed in downstream ABCA7 mRNA and protein expression, disease penetrance, and onset age, indicative of unknown modifying factors. Here, we investigated the prevalence and disease penetrance of ABCA7 PTC mutations in a large early onset AD (EOAD)-control cohort, and examined the effect on transcript level with comprehensive third-generation long-read sequencing. We characterized the ABCA7 coding sequence with next-generation sequencing in 928 EOAD patients and 980 matched control individuals. With MetaSKAT rare variant association analysis, we observed a fivefold enrichment (p = 0.0004) of PTC mutations in EOAD patients (3%) versus controls (0.6%). Ten novel PTC mutations were only observed in patients, and PTC mutation carriers in general had an increased familial AD load. In addition, we observed nominal risk reducing trends for three common coding variants. Seven PTC mutations were further analyzed using targeted long-read cDNA sequencing on an Oxford Nanopore MinION platform. PTC-containing transcripts for each investigated PTC mutation were observed at varying proportion (5-41% of the total read count), implying incomplete nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Furthermore, we distinguished and phased several previously unknown alternative splicing events (up to 30% of transcripts). In conjunction with PTC mutations, several of these novel ABCA7 isoforms have the potential to rescue deleterious PTC effects. In conclusion, ABCA7 PTC mutations play a substantial role in EOAD, warranting genetic screening of ABCA7 in genetically unexplained patients. Long-read cDNA sequencing revealed both varying degrees of NMD and transcript-modifying events, which may influence ABCA7 dosage, disease severity, and may create opportunities for therapeutic interventions in AD.

Abstract

Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a rare variant of motor neuron disease (MND) characterised by selective upper motor neuron features whose causes and pathogenic mechanisms remain largely unknown. While some familial cases of childhood to young–adult onset with recessive transmission have been reported in association with mutations in the Alsin, SPG11 and SPG7 genes,1 most adult cases occur sporadically. Recently, Tank-binding kinase 1 ( TBK1 ) mutations have been identified in 1.9% of frontotemporal dementia(FTD) and/or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cohorts.2 However, pathogenicity of many TBK1 missense mutations is difficult to establish in the absence of cosegregation data. A screening for TBK1 mutations carried out by the European Early-Onset Dementia (EU EOD) Consortium in a large series of FTD/ALS cases found one carrier of the Arg573Gly mutation.3 The index case belonged to a Spanish family with autosomal dominant disease manifesting in the sixth decade as either dementia or PLS, and in whom we were able to demonstrate cosegregation. TBK1 screening included 2553 individuals with FTD and/or ALS and 2288 European controls, including 549 of Spanish origin, and was conducted by the EU EOD Consortium as previously described.3 The family with the Arg573Gly mutation comprises an affected father and nine offspring, of whom five have been affected by either dementia or PLS (figure 1). Four affected and one healthy sibling have been clinically and genetically examined. Retrospective information was obtained regarding the disease process in cases I.1 and II. 2.
