Somatic APP gene recombination in Alzheimer’s disease and normal neurons
Open accessAbstract
The diversity and complexity of the human brain are widely assumed to be encoded within a constant genome. Somatic gene recombination, which changes germline DNA sequences to increase molecular diversity, could theoretically alter this code but has not been documented in the brain, to our knowledge. Here we describe recombination of the Alzheimer's disease-related gene APP, which encodes amyloid precursor protein, in human neurons, occurring mosaically as thousands of variant 'genomic cDNAs' (gencDNAs). gencDNAs lacked introns and ranged from full-length cDNA copies of expressed, brain-specific RNA splice variants to myriad smaller forms that contained intra-exonic junctions, insertions, deletions, and/or single nucleotide variations. DNA in situ hybridization identified gencDNAs within single neurons that were distinct from wild-type loci and absent from non-neuronal cells. Mechanistic studies supported neuronal 'retro-insertion' of RNA to produce gencDNAs; this process involved transcription, DNA breaks, reverse transcriptase activity, and age. Neurons from individuals with sporadic Alzheimer's disease showed increased gencDNA diversity, including eleven mutations known to be associated with familial Alzheimer's disease that were absent from healthy neurons. Neuronal gene recombination may allow 'recording' of neural activity for selective 'playback' of preferred gene variants whose expression bypasses splicing; this has implications for cellular diversity, learning and memory, plasticity, and diseases of the human brain.

Sporadic AD was recently associated with the insertion of processed pseudogenes of APP, some possibly expressing disease-associated variants, into adult neuron genomes in a process that required reverse transcriptase activity.
“Sporadic AD was recently associated with the insertion of processed pseudogenes of APP (amyloid precursor protein), some possibly expressing disease-associated variants, into adult neuron genomes140 in a process that required reverse transcriptase activity.”
From The role of retrotransposable elements in ageing and age-associated diseases (2021) · cites this paper as [140]
The Abstract and ‘Proof-of-concept linkage between gencDNAs and AD in neurons’ report APP genomic cDNAs in neurons, including variants enriched in sporadic AD with mutations matching familial AD mutations. The Discussion explicitly distinguishes these gencDNAs from processed pseudogenes and presents reverse transcriptase activity as a possible mechanism, not an established requirement. It also treats expression of the variants as a possibility rather than a demonstrated outcome. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
