R47H TREM2 variant increases risk of typical early‐onset Alzheimer's disease but not of prion or frontotemporal dementia
Open accessAbstract
Background: Rare TREM2 variants are significant risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods: We used next generation sequencing of the whole gene (n = 700), exon 2 Sanger sequencing (n = 2634), p.R47H genotyping (n = 3518), and genome wide association study imputation (n = 13,048) to determine whether TREM2 variants are risk factors or phenotypic modifiers in patients with AD (n = 1002), frontotemporal dementia (n = 358), sporadic (n = 2500), and variant (n = 115) Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). Results: We confirm only p.R47H as a risk factor for AD (odds ratio or OR = 2.19; 95% confidence interval or CI = 1.04‐4.51; P = .03). p.R47H does not significantly alter risk for frontotemporal dementia (OR = 0.81), variant or sporadic CJD (OR = 1.06 95%CI = 0.66‐1.69) in our cohorts. Individuals with p.R47H associated AD (n = 12) had significantly earlier symptom onset than individuals with no TREM2 variants (n = 551) (55.2 years vs. 61.7 years, P = .02). We note that heterozygous p.R47H AD is memory led and otherwise indistinguishable from “typical” sporadic AD. Conclusion: We find p.R47H is a risk factor for AD, but not frontotemporal dementia or prion disease.

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.
