Abstract

Introduction: Genome‐wide association studies have led to numerous genetic loci associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) now permits genome‐wide analyses to identify rare variants contributing to AD risk. Methods: We performed single‐variant and spatial clustering–based testing on rare variants (minor allele frequency [MAF] ≤1%) in a family‐based WGS‐based association study of 2247 subjects from 605 multiplex AD families, followed by replication in 1669 unrelated individuals. Results: We identified 13 new AD candidate loci that yielded consistent rare‐variant signals in discovery and replication cohorts (4 from single‐variant, 9 from spatial‐clustering), implicating these genes: FNBP1L, SEL1L, LINC00298, PRKCH, C15ORF41, C2CD3, KIF2A, APC, LHX9, NALCN, CTNNA2, SYTL3 , and CLSTN2 . Discussion: Downstream analyses of these novel loci highlight synaptic function, in contrast to common AD‐associated variants, which implicate innate immunity and amyloid processing. These loci have not been associated previously with AD, emphasizing the ability of WGS to identify AD‐associated rare variants, particularly outside of the exome.

  • Among 149 identified familial AD and GWAS locus genes, 74 genes (49%) were differentially expressed for at least one cell type.

    “We found that 74 genes (49%) were differentially expressed for at least one cell type, and multiple genes showed region-specific expression, including the lipid transporter ABCA7 (enriched in thalamus), the zinc-finger protein ZNF655 (EC) and the complement receptor CR1 (neocortex)56 (Extended Data Fig. 10).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
