PURPOSE: To assess the likely pathogenic/pathogenic (LP/P) variants rates in
Mendelian dementia genes and the moderate-to-strong risk factors rates in
patients with Alzheimer disease (AD).
METHODS: We included 700 patients in a prospective study and performed exome
sequencing. A panel of 28 Mendelian and 6 risk-factor genes was interpreted and
returned to patients. We built a framework for risk variant interpretation and
risk gradation and assessed the detection rates among early-onset AD (EOAD, age
of onset (AOO) ≤65 years, n = 608) depending on AOO and pedigree structure and
late-onset AD (66 < AOO < 75, n = 92).
RESULTS: Twenty-one patients carried a LP/P variant in a Mendelian gene (all
with EOAD, 3.4%), 20 of 21 affected APP, PSEN1, or PSEN2. LP/P variant detection
rates in EOAD ranged from 1.7% to 11.6% based on AOO and pedigree structure.
Risk factors were found in 69.5% of the remaining 679 patients, including 83
(12.2%) being heterozygotes for rare risk variants, in decreasing order of
frequency, in TREM2, ABCA7, ATP8B4, SORL1, and ABCA1, including 5 heterozygotes
for multiple rare risk variants, suggesting non-monogenic inheritance, even in
some autosomal-dominant-like pedigrees.
CONCLUSION: We suggest that genetic screening should be proposed to all EOAD
patients and should no longer be prioritized based on pedigree structure.
