Genes affected
PSEN2 (HGNC:9509): (presenilin 2) Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with an inherited form of the disease carry mutations in the presenilin proteins (PSEN1 or PSEN2) or the amyloid precursor protein (APP). These disease-linked mutations result in increased production of the longer form of amyloid-beta (main component of amyloid deposits found in AD brains). Presenilins are postulated to regulate APP processing through their effects on gamma-secretase, an enzyme that cleaves APP. Also, it is thought that the presenilins are involved in the cleavage of the Notch receptor such that, they either directly regulate gamma-secretase activity, or themselves act are protease enzymes. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms of PSEN2 have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PSEN2-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 11, 2022The PSEN2 c.184C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg62Cys. This variant has been reported in individuals with early-onset Alzheimer disease, late-onset Alzheimer disease, and early-onset frontotemporal dementia (for example, see Sala Frigerio et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25937274; Park et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28243073; Table 3S in Koriath et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30279455; An et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 28008242; Sassi et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25104557). In experimental studies, the PSEN2 p.Arg62Cys substitution was reported not to affect in vitro Aβ42 or Aβ40 levels or the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio (Hsu et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32087291). This variant is reported in 0.042% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-227071448-C-T), which may be too common to be a disease-causing variant. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Alzheimer disease 4 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 04, 2023In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect PSEN2 function (PMID: 32087291). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 62 of the PSEN2 protein (p.Arg62Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs150400387, gnomAD 0.05%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Alzheimer’s disease and/or frontotemporal dementia (PMID: 25104557, 25937274, 28008242, 28243073, 30279455, 34102969). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 567646). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. -
