    Exceptionally low likelihood of Alzheimer's dementia in APOE2 homozygotes from a 5,000-person neuropathological study

    Each additional copy of the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's dementia, while the APOE2 allele is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's dementia, it is not yet known whether APOE2 homozygotes have a particularly low risk. We generated Alzheimer's dementia odds ratios and other findings in more than 5,000 clinically characterized and neuropathologically characterized Alzheimer's dementia cases and controls. APOE2/2 was associated with a low Alzheimer's dementia odds ratios compared to APOE2/3 and 3/3, and an exceptionally low odds ratio compared to APOE4/4, and the impact of APOE2 and APOE4 gene dose was significantly greater in the neuropathologically confirmed group than in more than 24,000 neuropathologically unconfirmed cases and controls. Finding and targeting the factors by which APOE and its variants influence Alzheimer's disease could have a major impact on the understanding, treatment and prevention of the disease.

    Risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), the most prevalent dementia, is partially driven by genetics. To identify LOAD risk loci, we performed a large genome-wide association meta-analysis of clinically diagnosed LOAD (94,437 individuals). We confirm 20 previous LOAD risk loci and identify five new genome-wide loci (IQCK, ACE, ADAM10, ADAMTS1, and WWOX), two of which (ADAM10, ACE) were identified in a recent genome-wide association (GWAS)-by-familial-proxy of Alzheimer's or dementia. Fine-mapping of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region confirms the neurological and immune-mediated disease haplotype HLA-DR15 as a risk factor for LOAD. Pathway analysis implicates immunity, lipid metabolism, tau binding proteins, and amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, showing that genetic variants affecting APP and Aβ processing are associated not only with early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease but also with LOAD. Analyses of risk genes and pathways show enrichment for rare variants (P = 1.32 × 10-7), indicating that additional rare variants remain to be identified. We also identify important genetic correlations between LOAD and traits such as family history of dementia and education.

    Novel Alzheimer Disease Risk Loci and Pathways in African American Individuals Using the African Genome Resources Panel
    (American Medical Association, 2021-01-01) Kunkle, Brian W.; Schmidt, Michael; Klein, Hans-Ulrich; Naj, Adam C.; Hamilton-Nelson, Kara L.; Larson, Eric B.; Evans, Denis A.; De Jager, Phil L.; Crane, Paul K.; Buxbaum, Joe D.; Ertekin-Taner, Nilufer; Go, Rodney C.P.; Obisesan, Thomas O.; Kamboh, Ilyas; Bennett, David A.; Hall, Kathleen S.; Goate, Alison M.; Foroud, Tatiana M.; Martin, Eden R.; Wang, Li-Sao; Byrd, Goldie S.; Farrer, Lindsay A.; Haines, Jonathan L.; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Mayeux, Richard; Pericak-Vance, Margaret A.; Reitz, Christiane; Graff-Radford, Neill R.; Martinez, Izri; Ayodele, Temitope; Logue, Mark W.; Cantwell, Laura B.; Jean-Francois, Melissa; Kuzma, Amanda B.; Adams, L.D.; Vance, Jeffery M.; Cuccaro, Michael L.; Chung, Jaeyoon; Mez, Jesse; Lunetta, Kathryn L.; Jun, Gyungah R.; Lopez, Oscar L.; Hendrie, Hugh C.; Reiman, Eric M.; Kowall, Neil W.; Leverenz, James B.; Small, Scott A.; Levey, Allan I.; Golde, Todd E.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Starks, Takiyah D.; Albert, Marilyn S.; Hyman, Bradley T.; Petersen, Ronald C.; Sano, Mary; Wisniewski, Thomas; Vassar, Robert; Kaye, Jeffrey A.; Henderson, Victor W.; DeCarli, Charles; LaFerla, Frank M.; Brewer, James B.; Miller, Bruce L.; Swerdlow, Russell H.; Van Eldik, Linda J.; Paulson, Henry L.; Trojanowski, John Q.; Chui, Helena C.; Rosenberg, Roger N.; Craft, Suzanne; Grabowski, Thomas J.; Asthana, Sanjay; Morris, John C.; Strittmatter, Stephen M.; Kukull, Walter A.; Psychiatry, School of Medicine
    Importance: Compared with non-Hispanic White individuals, African American individuals from the same community are approximately twice as likely to develop Alzheimer disease. Despite this disparity, the largest Alzheimer disease genome-wide association studies to date have been conducted in non-Hispanic White individuals. In the largest association analyses of Alzheimer disease in African American individuals, ABCA7, TREM2, and an intergenic locus at 5q35 were previously implicated. Objective: To identify additional risk loci in African American individuals by increasing the sample size and using the African Genome Resource panel. Design, setting, and participants: This genome-wide association meta-analysis used case-control and family-based data sets from the Alzheimer Disease Genetics Consortium. There were multiple recruitment sites throughout the United States that included individuals with Alzheimer disease and controls of African American ancestry. Analysis began October 2018 and ended September 2019. Main outcomes and measures: Diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. Results: A total of 2784 individuals with Alzheimer disease (1944 female [69.8%]) and 5222 controls (3743 female [71.7%]) were analyzed (mean [SD] age at last evaluation, 74.2 [13.6] years). Associations with 4 novel common loci centered near the intracellular glycoprotein trafficking gene EDEM1 (3p26; P = 8.9 × 10-7), near the immune response gene ALCAM (3q13; P = 9.3 × 10-7), within GPC6 (13q31; P = 4.1 × 10-7), a gene critical for recruitment of glutamatergic receptors to the neuronal membrane, and within VRK3 (19q13.33; P = 3.5 × 10-7), a gene involved in glutamate neurotoxicity, were identified. In addition, several loci associated with rare variants, including a genome-wide significant intergenic locus near IGF1R at 15q26 (P = 1.7 × 10-9) and 6 additional loci with suggestive significance (P ≤ 5 × 10-7) such as API5 at 11p12 (P = 8.8 × 10-8) and RBFOX1 at 16p13 (P = 5.4 × 10-7) were identified. Gene expression data from brain tissue demonstrate association of ALCAM, ARAP1, GPC6, and RBFOX1 with brain β-amyloid load. Of 25 known loci associated with Alzheimer disease in non-Hispanic White individuals, only APOE, ABCA7, TREM2, BIN1, CD2AP, FERMT2, and WWOX were implicated at a nominal significance level or stronger in African American individuals. Pathway analyses strongly support the notion that immunity, lipid processing, and intracellular trafficking pathways underlying Alzheimer disease in African American individuals overlap with those observed in non-Hispanic White individuals. A new pathway emerging from these analyses is the kidney system, suggesting a novel mechanism for Alzheimer disease that needs further exploration. Conclusions and relevance: While the major pathways involved in Alzheimer disease etiology in African American individuals are similar to those in non-Hispanic White individuals, the disease-associated loci within these pathways differ.
