Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 3P and 3B. PM1PP2BP4_ModerateBS2_Supporting
The NM_000021.4(PSEN1):c.103C>T(p.Arg35Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000266 in 1,614,012 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R35Q) has been classified as Benign.
PSEN1 (HGNC:9508): (presenilin 1) Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with an inherited form of the disease carry mutations in the presenilin proteins (PSEN1; PSEN2) or in 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 are protease enzymes. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene, the full-length nature of only some have been determined.

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.
PM1
In a chain Presenilin-1 NTF subunit (size 297) in uniprot entity PSN1_HUMAN there are 186 pathogenic changes around while only 3 benign (98%) in NM_000021.4
PP2
Missense variant in the PSEN1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 113 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 14 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.1558 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.0986 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to acne inversa, familial, 3, dilated cardiomyopathy, Alzheimer disease 3, early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease, semantic dementia, Pick disease, familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy 1U, behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.24637339).
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 5 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
