Abstract

AbstractIn an effort to better understand the complex genetic background of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) we performed high-coverage whole-exome sequencing of a DNA pool assembled of 66 Bulgarian AD patients. We focused our analysis on genes demonstrated to have association with AD in previous studies, i.e. PSEN1, PSEN2, APP, APOE, TREM2, HFE, CLUand CR1. In these genes, we established six pathogenic/likely pathogenicvariants in the sequenced pool, three common and three rare. Two of these variants showed statically non-significant difference between Bulgarian AD patients and Bulgarian control exomes, the hemochromatosis variant rs104894002 (HFE) and rs7412 (APOE), which, notwithstanding its pathogenicity score, has putative protective role against AD. Three of the remaining four pathogenic/likely pathogenicvariants were estimated to significantly differ in frequency between the analyzed AD patient pool and controls. These are the rs429358 (APOE) polymorphism, a well-established risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, the rs28936380 (PSEN2) and rs104894002 (TREM2), also ascertained to be associated with AD. The performed study validates the role of three pathogenic/likely pathogenicvariants in AD related genes in the multifaceted genetic etiology of Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Diagnostic incidence data for syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) in multinational studies are urgent in light of upcoming therapeutic approaches. OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence of FTLD across Europe. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The Frontotemporal Dementia Incidence European Research Study (FRONTIERS) was a retrospective cohort study conducted from June 1, 2018, to May 31, 2019, using a population-based registry from 13 tertiary FTLD research clinics from the UK, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Spain, Bulgaria, Serbia, Germany, and Italy and including all new FTLD-associated cases during the study period, with a combined catchment population of 11 023 643 person-years. Included patients fulfilled criteria for the behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (BVFTD), the nonfluent variant or semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (PPA), unspecified PPA, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, or frontotemporal dementia with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTD-ALS). Data were analyzed from July 19 to December 7, 2021. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Random-intercept Poisson models were used to obtain estimates of the European FTLD incidence rate accounting for geographic heterogeneity. RESULTS: Based on 267 identified cases (mean [SD] patient age, 66.70 [9.02] years; 156 males [58.43%]), the estimated annual incidence rate for FTLD in Europe was 2.36 cases per 100 000 person-years (95% CI, 1.59-3.51 cases per 100 000 person-years). There was a progressive increase in FTLD incidence across age, reaching its peak at the age of 71 years, with 13.09 cases per 100 000 person-years (95% CI, 8.46-18.93 cases per 100 000 person-years) among men and 7.88 cases per 100 000 person-years (95% CI, 5.39-11.60 cases per 100 000 person-years) among women. Overall, the incidence was higher among men (2.84 cases per 100 000 person-years; 95% CI, 1.88-4.27 cases per 100 000 person-years) than among women (1.91 cases per 100 000 person-years; 95% CI, 1.26-2.91 cases per 100 000 person-years). BVFTD was the most common phenotype (107 cases [40.07%]), followed by PPA (76 [28.46%]) and extrapyramidal phenotypes (69 [25.84%]). FTD-ALS was the rarest phenotype (15 cases [5.62%]). A total of 95 patients with FTLD (35.58%) had a family history of dementia. The estimated number of new FTLD cases per year in Europe was 12 057. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The findings suggest that FTLD-associated syndromes are more common than previously recognized, and diagnosis should be considered at any age. Improved knowledge of FTLD incidence may contribute to appropriate health and social care planning and in the design of future clinical trials.

Abstract

IMPORTANCE: The APOE ε2 and APOE ε4 alleles are the strongest protective and risk-increasing, respectively, genetic variants for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD). However, the mechanisms linking APOE to AD—particularly the apoE protein’s role in AD pathogenesis and how this is affected by APOE variants—remain poorly understood. Identifying missense variants in addition to APOE ε2 and APOE ε4 could provide critical new insights, but given the low frequency of additional missense variants, AD genetic cohorts have previously been too small to interrogate this question robustly. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether rare missense variants on APOE are associated with AD risk. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Association with case-control status was tested in a sequenced discovery sample (stage 1) and followed up in several microarray imputed cohorts as well as the UK Biobank whole-exome sequencing resource using a proxy-AD phenotype (stages 2 and 3). This study combined case-control, family-based, population-based, and longitudinal AD-related cohorts that recruited referred and volunteer participants. Stage 1 included 37 409 nonunique participants of European or admixed European ancestry, with 11 868 individuals with AD and 11 934 controls passing analysis inclusion criteria. In stages 2 and 3, 475 473 participants were considered across 8 cohorts, of which 84 513 individuals with AD and proxy-AD and 328 372 controls passed inclusion criteria. Selection criteria were cohort specific, and this study was performed a posteriori on individuals who were genotyped. Among the available genotypes, 76 195 were excluded. All data were retrieved between September 2015 and November 2021 and analyzed between April and November 2021. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: In primary analyses, the AD risk associated with each missense variant was estimated, as appropriate, with either linear mixed-model regression or logistic regression. In secondary analyses, associations were estimated with age at onset using linear mixed-model regression and risk of conversion to AD using competing-risk regression. RESULTS: A total of 544 384 participants were analyzed in the primary case-control analysis; 312 476 (57.4%) were female, and the mean (SD; range) age was 64.9 (15.2; 40-110) years. Two missense variants were associated with a 2-fold to 3-fold decreased AD risk: APOE ε4 (R251G) (odds ratio, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.33-0.59; P = 4.7 × 10−8) and APOE ε3 (V236E) (odds ratio, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.25-0.56; P = 1.9 × 10−6). Additionally, the cumulative incidence of AD in carriers of these variants was found to grow more slowly with age compared with noncarriers. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this genetic association study, a novel variant associated with AD was identified: R251G always coinherited with ε4 on the APOE gene, which mitigates the ε4-associated AD risk. The protective effect of the V236E variant, which is always coinherited with ε3 on the APOE gene, was also confirmed. The location of these variants confirms that the carboxyl-terminal portion of apoE plays an important role in AD pathogenesis. The large risk reductions reported here suggest that protein chemistry and functional assays of these variants should be pursued, as they have the potential to guide drug development targeting APOE.

Abstract

Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated pathophysiological processes. We performed a two-stage genome-wide association study totaling 111,326 clinically diagnosed/‘proxy’ AD cases and 677,663 controls. We found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis. Pathway enrichment analyses confirmed the involvement of amyloid/tau pathways and highlighted microglia implication. Gene prioritization in the new loci identified 31 genes that were suggestive of new genetically associated processes, including the tumor necrosis factor alpha pathway through the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex. We also built a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future AD/dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD/dementia. The improvement in prediction led to a 1.6- to 1.9-fold increase in AD risk from the lowest to the highest decile, in addition to effects of age and the APOEε4 allele.

Abstract

AbstractContemporary genetic methods have not yet solved the ‘missing heritability’ problem of complex diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The impact of rare or less common variation on human complex diseases and traits remains to date barely investigated. In this study rare population variants detected using whole-exome sequencing were employed to examine how molecular pathways are prioritized in four groups: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients, young and healthy individuals and centenarians. The set of prioritized genes in AD patients associated with Semaphorin interactionspathways, contrasting with the results of the other groups. We identified rare pathogenic, likely pathogenic and variants of unknown significance in these prioritized genes in AD patients. The results of this study offer evidence that semaphorin pathwaysplay a role in AD genetic etiology.
