Findings

The Y934C variant was found 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).

In a study that included 15,808 Alzheimer’s cases and 16,097 control subjects from multiple European and American cohorts, including CNR-MAJ, this allele was observed once among the AD cases (Holstege et al., 2022).

Functional Consequences

Tyrosine-934 is a conserved residue within the YWTD-repeated β-propeller and may be critical for maintaining the rigidity of the propeller (Andersen et al., 2023). Based on domain mapping of disease mutations, Andersen and colleagues predicted that mutations of tyrosine-934 are highly likely to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease—variants in homologous positions in LDLR and LRP2 are linked to familial hypercholesterolemia and Donnai-Barrow syndrome, respectively, while mutations in LRP5 were found to be linked to osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome and exudative vitreoretinopathy 4 .

The Y934C variant impaired maturation (glycosylation) and trafficking to the plasma membrane of SORL1 overexpressed in HEK293 cells (Rovelet-Lecrux et al., 2021).

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