Penetrance estimation of Alzheimer disease in SORL1 loss-of-function variant carriers using a family-based strategy and stratification by APOE genotypes

International audienceAbstract Background Alzheimer disease (AD) is a common complex disorder with a high genetic component. Loss-of-function (LoF) SORL1 variants are one of the strongest AD genetic risk factors. Estimating their age-related penetrance is essential before putative use for genetic counseling or preventive trials. However, relative rarity and co-occurrence with the main AD risk factor, APOE -ε4, make such estimations difficult. Methods We proposed to estimate the age-related penetrance of SORL1 -LoF variants through a survival framework by estimating the conditional instantaneous risk combining (i) a baseline for non-carriers of SORL1- LoF variants, stratified by APOE-ε4 , derived from the Rotterdam study ( N = 12,255), and (ii) an age-dependent proportional hazard effect for SORL1- LoF variants estimated from 27 extended pedigrees (including 307 relatives ≥ 40 years old, 45 of them having genotyping information) recruited from the French reference center for young Alzheimer patients. We embedded this model into an expectation-maximization algorithm to accommodate for missing genotypes. To correct for ascertainment bias, proband phenotypes were omitted. Then, we assessed if our penetrance curves were concordant with age distributions of APOE -ε4-stratified SORL1- LoF variant carriers detected among sequencing data of 13,007 cases and 10,182 controls from European and American case-control study consortia. Results SORL1- LoF variants penetrance curves reached 100% (95% confidence interval [99–100%]) by age 70 among APOE -ε4ε4 carriers only, compared with 56% [40–72%] and 37% [26–51%] in ε4 heterozygous carriers and ε4 non-carriers, respectively. These estimates were fully consistent with observed age distributions of SORL1- LoF variant carriers in case-control study data. Conclusions We conclude that SORL1- LoF variants should be interpreted in light of APOE genotypes for future clinical applications
