Genes affected

APP (HGNC:620): (amyloid beta precursor protein) This gene encodes a cell surface receptor and transmembrane precursor protein that is cleaved by secretases to form a number of peptides. Some of these peptides are secreted and can bind to the acetyltransferase complex APBB1/TIP60 to promote transcriptional activation, while others form the protein basis of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer disease. In addition, two of the peptides are antimicrobial peptides, having been shown to have bacteriocidal and antifungal activities. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease and cerebroarterial amyloidosis (cerebral amyloid angiopathy). Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

The APP c.*331_*332delAT variant is located in the 3' untranslated region. This variant has been reported in an individual with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (Nicolas et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 25828868). In vitro functional studies using patient mRNA in HeLa cells consistently demonstrated a significant increase in APP expression (Table 3 and Figure 2, Nicolas et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 25828868). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare; however, the quality of this data is questionable and should be interpreted with caution. Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
