Item APOE effect on Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in older adults with significant memory concern(Elsevier, 2015-12) Risacher, Shannon L.; Kim, Sungeun; Nho, Kwangsik; Foroud, Tatiana; Shen, Li; Peterson, Ronald C.; Jack Jr, Clifford R.; Beckett, Laurel A.; Aisen, Paul S.; Koeppe, Robert A.; Jagust, William J.; Shaw, Leslie M.; Trojanowski, John Q.; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineINTRODUCTION: This study assessed apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carrier status effects on Alzheimer's disease imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in cognitively normal older adults with significant memory concerns (SMC). METHODS: Cognitively normal, SMC, and early mild cognitive impairment participants from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative were divided by APOE ε4 carrier status. Diagnostic and APOE effects were evaluated with emphasis on SMC. Additional analyses in SMC evaluated the effect of the interaction between APOE and [(18)F]Florbetapir amyloid positivity on CSF biomarkers. RESULTS: SMC ε4+ showed greater amyloid deposition than SMC ε4-, but no hypometabolism or medial temporal lobe (MTL) atrophy. SMC ε4+ showed lower amyloid beta 1-42 and higher tau/p-tau than ε4-, which was most abnormal in APOE ε4+ and cerebral amyloid positive SMC. DISCUSSION: SMC APOE ε4+ show abnormal changes in amyloid and tau biomarkers, but no hypometabolism or MTL neurodegeneration, reflecting the at-risk nature of the SMC group and the importance of APOE in mediating this risk.Item Association of plasma and cortical beta-amyloid is modulated by APOE ε4 status.(Elsevier, 2014-01) Swaminathan, Shanker; Risacher, Shannon L.; Yoder, Karmen K.; West, John D.; Shen, Li; Kim, Sungeun; Inlow, Mark; Foroud, Tatiana; Jagust, William J.; Koeppe, Robert A.; Mathis, Chester A.; Shaw, Leslie M.; Trojanowski, John Q.; Soares, Holly; Aisen, Paul S.; Petersen, Ronald C.; Weiner, Michael W.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of MedicineBackground: APOE ε4’s role as a modulator of the relationship between soluble plasma beta-amyloid (Aβ) and fibrillar brain Aβ measured by Pittsburgh Compound-B positron emission tomography ([11C]PiB PET) has not been assessed. Methods: Ninety-six Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative participants with [11C]PiB scans and plasma Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 measurements at time of scan were included. Regional and voxel-wise analyses of [11C]PiB data were used to determine the influence of APOE ε4 on association of plasma Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42, and Aβ1-40/Aβ1-42 with [11C]PiB uptake. Results: In APOE ε4− but not ε4+ participants, positive relationships between plasma Aβ1-40/Aβ1-42 and [11C]PiB uptake were observed. Modeling the interaction of APOE and plasma Aβ1-40/Aβ1-42 improved the explained variance in [11C]PiB binding compared to using APOE and plasma Aβ1-40/Aβ1-42 as separate terms. Conclusions: The results suggest that plasma Aβ is a potential Alzheimer’s disease biomarker and highlight the importance of genetic variation in interpretation of plasma Aβ levels.Item Sex, racial, and APOE-ε4 allele differences in longitudinal white matter microstructure in multiple cohorts of aging and Alzheimer’s disease(bioRxiv, 2024-06-12) Peterson, Amalia; Sathe, Aditi; Zaras, Dimitrios; Yang, Yisu; Durant, Alaina; Deters, Kacie D.; Shashikumar, Niranjana; Pechman, Kimberly R.; Kim, Michael E.; Gao, Chenyu; Khairi, Nazirah Mohd; Li, Zhiyuan; Yao, Tianyuan; Huo, Yuankai; Dumitrescu, Logan; Gifford, Katherine A.; Wilson, Jo Ellen; Cambronero, Francis; Risacher, Shannon L.; Beason-Held, Lori L.; An, Yang; Arfanakis, Konstantinos; Erus, Guray; Davatzikos, Christos; Tosun, Duygu; Toga, Arthur W.; Thompson, Paul M.; Mormino, Elizabeth C.; Zhang, Panpan; Schilling, Kurt; Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI); BIOCARD Study Team; Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP); Albert, Marilyn; Kukull, Walter; Biber, Sarah A.; Landman, Bennett A.; Johnson, Sterling C.; Schneider, Julie; Barnes, Lisa L.; Bennett, David A.; Jefferson, Angela L.; Resnick, Susan M.; Saykin, Andrew J.; Hohman, Timothy J.; Archer, Derek B.; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of MedicineIntroduction: The effects of sex, race, and Apolipoprotein E (APOE) - Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factors - on white matter integrity are not well characterized. Methods: Diffusion MRI data from nine well-established longitudinal cohorts of aging were free-water (FW)-corrected and harmonized. This dataset included 4,702 participants (age=73.06 ± 9.75) with 9,671 imaging sessions over time. FW and FW-corrected fractional anisotropy (FAFWcorr) were used to assess differences in white matter microstructure by sex, race, and APOE-ε4 carrier status. Results: Sex differences in FAFWcorr in association and projection tracts, racial differences in FAFWcorr in projection tracts, and APOE-ε4 differences in FW limbic and occipital transcallosal tracts were most pronounced. Discussion: There are prominent differences in white matter microstructure by sex, race, and APOE-ε4 carrier status. This work adds to our understanding of disparities in AD. Additional work to understand the etiology of these differences is warranted.Item Whole-genome sequencing analysis reveals new susceptibility loci and structural variants associated with progressive supranuclear palsy(Springer Nature, 2024-08-16) Wang, Hui; Chang, Timothy S.; Dombroski, Beth A.; Cheng, Po-Liang; Patil, Vishakha; Valiente-Banuet, Leopoldo; Farrell, Kurt; Mclean, Catriona; Molina-Porcel, Laura; Rajput, Alex; De Deyn, Peter Paul; Le Bastard, Nathalie; Gearing, Marla; Donker Kaat, Laura; Van Swieten, John C.; Dopper, Elise; Ghetti, Bernardino F.; Newell, Kathy L.; Troakes, Claire; de Yébenes, Justo G.; Rábano-Gutierrez, Alberto; Meller, Tina; Oertel, Wolfgang H.; Respondek, Gesine; Stamelou, Maria; Arzberger, Thomas; Roeber, Sigrun; Müller, Ulrich; Hopfner, Franziska; Pastor, Pau; Brice, Alexis; Durr, Alexandra; Le Ber, Isabelle; Beach, Thomas G.; Serrano, Geidy E.; Hazrati, Lili-Naz; Litvan, Irene; Rademakers, Rosa; Ross, Owen A.; Galasko, Douglas; Boxer, Adam L.; Miller, Bruce L.; Seeley, Willian W.; Van Deerlin, Vivanna M.; Lee, Edward B.; White, Charles L., III; Morris, Huw; de Silva, Rohan; Crary, John F.; Goate, Alison M.; Friedman, Jeffrey S.; Leung, Yuk Yee; Coppola, Giovanni; Naj, Adam C.; Wang, Li-San; P. S. P. genetics study group; Dalgard, Clifton; Dickson, Dennis W.; Höglinger, Günter U.; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Geschwind, Daniel H.; Lee, Wan-Ping; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of aggregated tau proteins in astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes. Previous genome-wide association studies for PSP were based on genotype array, therefore, were inadequate for the analysis of rare variants as well as larger mutations, such as small insertions/deletions (indels) and structural variants (SVs). Method: In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) and conducted association analysis for single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, and SVs, in a cohort of 1,718 cases and 2,944 controls of European ancestry. Of the 1,718 PSP individuals, 1,441 were autopsy-confirmed and 277 were clinically diagnosed. Results: Our analysis of common SNVs and indels confirmed known genetic loci at MAPT, MOBP, STX6, SLCO1A2, DUSP10, and SP1, and further uncovered novel signals in APOE, FCHO1/MAP1S, KIF13A, TRIM24, TNXB, and ELOVL1. Notably, in contrast to Alzheimer's disease (AD), we observed the APOE ε2 allele to be the risk allele in PSP. Analysis of rare SNVs and indels identified significant association in ZNF592 and further gene network analysis identified a module of neuronal genes dysregulated in PSP. Moreover, seven common SVs associated with PSP were observed in the H1/H2 haplotype region (17q21.31) and other loci, including IGH, PCMT1, CYP2A13, and SMCP. In the H1/H2 haplotype region, there is a burden of rare deletions and duplications (P = 6.73 × 10-3) in PSP. Conclusions: Through WGS, we significantly enhanced our understanding of the genetic basis of PSP, providing new targets for exploring disease mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.Item Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis Reveals New Susceptibility Loci and Structural Variants Associated with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy(medRxiv, 2024-01-30) Wang, Hui; Chang, Timothy S.; Dombroski, Beth A.; Cheng, Po-Liang; Patil, Vishakha; Valiente-Banuet, Leopoldo; Farrell, Kurt; Mclean, Catriona; Molina-Porcel, Laura; Rajput, Alex; De Deyn, Peter Paul; Le Bastard, Nathalie; Gearing, Marla; Donker Kaat, Laura; Van Swieten, John C.; Dopper, Elise; Ghetti, Bernardino F.; Newell, Kathy L.; Troakes, Claire; de Yébenes, Justo G.; Rábano-Gutierrez, Alberto; Meller, Tina; Oertel, Wolfgang H.; Respondek, Gesine; Stamelou, Maria; Arzberger, Thomas; Roeber, Sigrun; Müller, Ulrich; Hopfner, Franziska; Pastor, Pau; Brice, Alexis; Durr, Alexandra; Le Ber, Isabelle; Beach, Thomas G.; Serrano, Geidy E.; Hazrati, Lili-Naz; Litvan, Irene; Rademakers, Rosa; Ross, Owen A.; Galasko, Douglas; Boxer, Adam L.; Miller, Bruce L.; Seeley, Willian W.; Van Deerlin, Vivanna M.; Lee, Edward B.; White, Charles L., III; Morris, Huw; de Silva, Rohan; Crary, John F.; Goate, Alison M.; Friedman, Jeffrey S.; Leung, Yuk Yee; Coppola, Giovanni; Naj, Adam C.; Wang, Li-San; PSP genetics study group; Dickson, Dennis W.; Höglinger, Günter U.; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Geschwind, Daniel H.; Lee, Wan-Ping; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of aggregated tau proteins in astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes.
