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.

Published functional studies demonstrate that R406W cells show a decreased level of phosphorylation and an inability to bind to microtubules, resulting in accumulation in the cytoplasm (PMID: 11756436, 10820221); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23105105, 30279455, 30562452, 31836585, 29370822, 33061333, 34158384, 33427744, 23383383, 22368988, 18803694, 10820221, 24150109, 20634584, 23338682, 19304664, 21339331, 11102510, 18992292, 21849646, 22787795, 20377816, 26581847, 26028272, 25377499, 26734663, 25942996, 29253099, 11278002, 12368474, 11889249, 18284428, 9641683, 14517953, 10514099, 18587238, 20683187, 23727082, 31127772, 30924900, 32843152, 20662935, 11756436, 35790423, 36171642, 28738127, 37431188) -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 406 of the MAPT protein (p.Arg406Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs63750424, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), Alzheimer's disease, and/or mixed dementia with parkinsonism (PMID: 9382467, 9641683, 11117542, 11889249, 23383383, 23727082, 25942996, 26028272). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14247). 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 not expected to disrupt MAPT protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MAPT function (PMID: 10797541, 11102510, 11756436, 19304664, 21339331, 24150109). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The MAPT c.2221C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg741Trp. The variant is also referred to as c.1216C>T (p.Arg406Trp) using a different transcript (NM_005910.5). This variant has been extensively reported in individuals with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), Alzheimer Disease, or dementia with parkinsonism (Tipton et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35790423; Koriath et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 30279455; Kunkle et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28738127). For example, this variant has been reported in the heterozygous state to be causative of frontotemporal dementia in a large family with a history of the disease (Hutton et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9641683). It was also reported in the heterozygous state to be pathogenic in a large family with early-onset Alzheimer Disease (EOAD)-like presentation (Carney et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 23727082). One report described this variant in the homozygous state in an individual with early-onset bvFTD who developed symptoms 20 years before mean family symptom onset, suggesting a dose-dependent effect on disease risk (Ng et al. 2015. PMID: 26734663). It is reported in 0.0046% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD; and has been consistently classified as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/14247/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.1.1, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease for this gene. (N) 0108 - This gene is known to be associated with both recessive and dominant disease. (N) 0112 - Variants in this gene are known to have reduced penetrance (PMID: 20301678). (N) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to tryptophan (exon 14). (N) 0251 - Variant is heterozygous. (N) 0302 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.001 for a dominant condition (4 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (P) 0309 - Alternative amino acid changes at the same position have been observed in gnomAD (2 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (N) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and/or uninformative conservation. (N) 0504 - Same amino acid change has been observed in mammals. (B) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (N) 0801 - Strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. Multiple patients reported with phenotypic heterogeneity, presenting frontotemporal dementia with or without parkinsonism, early onset dementia and Alzheimer disease (PMID: 23727082). (P) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available. (N) Legend: (P) - Pathogenic, (N) - Neutral, (B) - Benign -
