    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 APOE ε4 allele.

    Polygenic risk score penetrance & recurrence risk in familial Alzheimer disease
    (Wiley, 2023) Qiao, Min; Lee, Annie J.; Reyes-Dumeyer, Dolly; Tosto, Giuseppe; Faber, Kelley; Goate, Alison; Renton, Alan; Chao, Michael; Boeve, Brad; Cruchaga, Carlos; Pericak-Vance, Margaret; Haines, Jonathan L.; Rosenberg, Roger; Tsuang, Debby; Sweet, Robert A.; Bennett, David A.; Wilson, Robert S.; Foroud, Tatiana; Mayeux, Richard; Vardarajan, Badri N.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine
    Objective: To compute penetrance and recurrence risk using a genome-wide PRS (including and excluding the APOE region) in families with Alzheimer's disease. Methods: Genotypes from the National Institute on Aging Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Family-Based Study and a study of familial Alzheimer's disease in Caribbean Hispanics were used to compute PRS with and without variants in the 2 MB region flanking APOE. PRS was calculated in using clumping/thresholding and Bayesian methods and was assessed for association with Alzheimer's disease and age at onset. Penetrance and recurrence risk for carriers in highest and lowest PRS quintiles were compared separately within APOE-ε4 carriers and non-carriers. Results: PRS excluding the APOE region was strongly associated with clinical and neuropathological diagnosis of AD. PRS association with AD was similar in participants who did not carry an APOE-ε4 allele (OR = 1.74 [1.53-1.91]) compared with APOE-ε4 carriers (1.53 [1.4-1.68]). Compared to the lowest quintile, the highest PRS quintile had a 10% higher penetrance at age 70 (p = 0.0006) and a 20% higher penetrance at age 80 (p < 10e-05). Stratifying by APOE-ε4 allele, PRS in the highest quintile was significantly more penetrant than the lowest quintile, both, within APOE-ε4 carriers (14.5% higher at age 80, p = 0.002) and non-carriers (26% higher at 80, p < 10e-05). Recurrence risk for siblings conferred by a co-sibling in the highest PRS quintile increased from 4% between the ages of 65-74 years to 39% at age 85 and older. Interpretation: PRS can be used to estimate penetrance and recurrence risk in familial Alzheimer's disease among carriers and non-carries of APOE-ε4.

    White matter hyperintensities and the mediating role of cerebral amyloid angiopathy in dominantly-inherited Alzheimer's disease
    (Public Library of Science, 2018-05-09) Lee, Seonjoo; Zimmerman, Molly E.; Narkhede, Atul; Nasrabady, Sara E.; Tosto, Giuseppe; Meier, Irene B.; Benzinger, Tammie L. S.; Marcus, Daniel S.; Fagan, Anne M.; Fox, Nick C.; Cairns, Nigel J.; Holtzman, David M.; Buckles, Virginia; Ghetti, Bernardino; McDade, Eric; Martins, Ralph N.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Masters, Colin L.; Ringman, John M.; Fӧrster, Stefan; Schofield, Peter R.; Sperling, Reisa A. n; Johnson, Keith A. n; Chhatwal, Jasmeer P.; Salloway, Stephen; Correia, Stephen; Jack, Clifford R., Jr.; Weiner, Michael; Bateman, Randall J.; Morris, John C.; Mayeux, Richard; Brickman, Adam M.; Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    INTRODUCTION: White matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume on MRI is increased among presymptomatic individuals with autosomal dominant mutations for Alzheimer's disease (AD). One potential explanation is that WMH, conventionally considered a marker of cerebrovascular disease, are a reflection of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and that increased WMH in this population is a manifestation of this vascular form of primary AD pathology. We examined whether the presence of cerebral microbleeds, a marker of CAA, mediates the relationship between WMH and estimated symptom onset in individuals with and without autosomal dominant mutations for AD. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Participants (n = 175, mean age = 41.1 years) included 112 with an AD mutation and 63 first-degree non-carrier controls. We calculated the estimated years from expected symptom onset (EYO) and analyzed baseline MRI data for WMH volume and presence of cerebral microbleeds. Mixed effects regression and tests of mediation were used to examine microbleed and WMH differences between carriers and non-carriers and to test the whether the association between WMH and mutation status is dependent on the presence of microbleeds. RESULTS: Mutation carriers were more likely to have microbleeds than non-carriers (p<0.05) and individuals with microbleeds had higher WMH volume than those without (p<0.05). Total WMH volume was increased in mutation carriers compared with non-carriers, up to 20 years prior to EYO, after controlling for microbleed status, as we demonstrated previously. Formal testing of mediation demonstrated that 21% of the association between mutation status and WMH was mediated by presence of microbleeds (p = 0.03) but a significant direct effect of WMH remained (p = 0.02) after controlling for presence of microbleeds. DISCUSSION: Although there is some co-dependency between WMH and microbleeds, the observed increases in WMH among mutation carriers does not appear to be fully mediated by this marker of CAA. The findings highlight the possibility that WMH represent a core feature of AD independent of vascular forms of beta amyloid.

    White matter hyperintensities are a core feature of Alzheimer's disease: Evidence from the dominantly inherited Alzheimer network
    (Wiley, 2016-06) Lee, Seonjoo; Viqar, Fawad; Zimmerman, Molly E.; Narkhede, Atul; Tosto, Giuseppe; Benzinger, Tammie L.S.; Marcus, Daniel S.; Fagan, Anne M.; Goate, Alison; Fox, Nick C.; Cairns, Nigel J.; Holtzman, David M.; Buckles, Virginia; Ghetti, Bernardino; McDade, Eric; Martins, Ralph N.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Masters, Colin L.; Ringman, John M.; Ryan, Natalie S.; Förster, Stefan; Laske, Christoph; Schofield, Peter R.; Sperling, Reisa A.; Salloway, Stephen; Correia, Stephen; Jack, Clifford; Weiner, Michael; Bateman, Randall J.; Morris, John C.; Mayeux, Richard; Brickman, Adam M.; Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network; Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are areas of increased signal on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans that most commonly reflect small vessel cerebrovascular disease. Increased WMH volume is associated with risk and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). These observations are typically interpreted as evidence that vascular abnormalities play an additive, independent role contributing to symptom presentation, but not core features of AD. We examined the severity and distribution of WMH in presymptomatic PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP mutation carriers to determine the extent to which WMH manifest in individuals genetically determined to develop AD.
