Genes affected

MAPT (HGNC:6893): (microtubule associated protein tau) This gene encodes the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) whose transcript undergoes complex, regulated alternative splicing, giving rise to several mRNA species. MAPT transcripts are differentially expressed in the nervous system, depending on stage of neuronal maturation and neuron type. MAPT gene mutations have been associated with several neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, frontotemporal dementia, cortico-basal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy.

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 301 of the MAPT protein (p.Pro301Leu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with frontotemporal dementia (PMID: 9641683, 26220942, 27439681). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14245). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MAPT protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MAPT function (PMID: 9641683, 11756436, 22022446, 22723997, 25592136, 26220942, 26269332, 26519432). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The MAPT c.1907C>T variant is classified as Pathogenic (PS4_Moderate, PS3, PM1, PP3, PP5) NM_005910.5 c.902C>T; p.Pro301Leu has been widely reported in tauopathies such as frontotemporal dementia and alzheimers disease. Mouse models have shown changes in glutamate release and uptake (PMID:25319522) PMID:30528841 - Blauwendraat et al performed a rare variant analysis of damaging mutations in autopsy-confirmed neurodegenerative cases from the Johns Hopkins Brain Resource Center. Identified the variant in one patient who presented clinically with behavioural variant FTD (frontotemporal disorder) and the autopsy showed accumulation of phosphorylated tau protein consistent with Pick's disease. PMID:25319522 - Hunsberger et al 2015. Used a mouse model and measured glutamate levels, glutamate release and uptake/clearance in hippocampus with this variant. The variant resulted in 4-7 fold increase in glutamate release and decreased clearance. This correlated with memory performance in the maze task. concluded that may be a novel way that tau may mediate hyperexcitability (that preceeds alzheimers disease) PMID:2273997 - Orr et al 2012. Used a mouse model and found that mice with the variant display cellular, histological, biochemical and behavioural abnormalities similar to those in human frontotemporal dementia. -

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity. (Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), Cambridge, MA (URL: http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)) This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and associates with disease in multiple families. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. Studies show this variant causes aggregation of tau affecting microtubule assembly (PMID: 10100642, 10214944, 10627302, 10821687, 10932182, 11013246, 11115852, 26269332). -

Published functional studies showed that P301L expression disrupts interaction with the C-terminal half of MAPT and reduces the ability to bind and promote assembly of microtubules (Gunawardana et al., 2015; Hong et al., 1998); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23047372, 26220942, 30279455, 11598310, 29950844, 30528841, 28934750, 23029293, 22561128, 23043292, 21555888, 21294162, 18803694, 25319522, 11081811, 24150109, 11756436, 19304664, 15831501, 23105105, 10218629, 10865093, 23659495, 11102510, 10932182, 18992292, 20097445, 21492964, 24218087, 21849646, 22365544, 22127750, 22022446, 22723997, 14757934, 26269332, 25592136, 25004446, 26146790, 12111297, 25151619, 27439681, 12473404, 9836646, 9641683, 20561037, 27859539, 9736786, 28717674, 29253099, 29568692, 29729423, 26519432, 29105852, 28268100, 31537395, 29282277, 30562452, 32741062, 33061333, 31599329, 10360762, 9811325, 10514099, 33006106, 32843152) -

The MAPT c.1907C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro636Leu. This variant, also reported as p.Pro301Leu using a different transcript NM_005910.6, has been repeatedly documented to be pathogenic in patients with frontotemporal dementia (Blauwendraat et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30528841;Borrego-Écija et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28934750; Dumanchin et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9736786; Gatto et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28268100). The c.1907C>T variant has also been interpreted as pathogenic by other labs in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/14245/). This variant is reported in 0.0013% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
