Abstract
Introduction: The variability in apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4-attributed susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease (AD) across ancestries, sexes, and ages may stem from the modulating effects of other genetic variants.
Methods: We examined associations of compound genotypes (CompGs) comprising the ε4-encoding rs429358, TOMM40 rs2075650, and APOC1 rs12721046 polymorphisms with AD in White (7181/16,356 AD-affected/unaffected), Hispanic/Latino (2305/2921), and Black American (547/1753) participants across sexes and ages.
Results: The absence and presence of the rs2075650 and/or rs12721046 minor alleles in the ε4-bearing CompGs define lower- and higher-AD-risk profiles, respectively, in White participants. They differentially impact AD risks in men and women of different ancestries, exhibiting an increasing, decreasing, flat, and nonlinear-with lower risks at ages younger than 65/70 years and older than 85 years compared to the ages in between-patterns across ages.
Discussion: The ε4-bearing CompGs have a potential to differentiate biological mechanisms of sex-, age-, and ancestry-specific AD risks and serve as AD biomarkers.
Highlights: Younger White women carrying the lower-risk (LR) CompG are at small risk of AD.Black carriers of the LR CompG are at negligible risk of AD at 85 years and older.The higher-risk (HR) CompGs confer high AD risk in Whites and Blacks at 70 to 85 years.AD risk decreases with age for Hispanic/Lation women carrying the HR CompGs.Hispanic/Lation carriers of the LR CompG but not HR CompGs have higher AD risk than Blacks.
期刊介绍:
Alzheimer''s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring (DADM) is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal from the Alzheimer''s Association® that will publish new research that reports the discovery, development and validation of instruments, technologies, algorithms, and innovative processes. Papers will cover a range of topics interested in the early and accurate detection of individuals with memory complaints and/or among asymptomatic individuals at elevated risk for various forms of memory disorders. The expectation for published papers will be to translate fundamental knowledge about the neurobiology of the disease into practical reports that describe both the conceptual and methodological aspects of the submitted scientific inquiry. Published topics will explore the development of biomarkers, surrogate markers, and conceptual/methodological challenges. Publication priority will be given to papers that 1) describe putative surrogate markers that accurately track disease progression, 2) biomarkers that fulfill international regulatory requirements, 3) reports from large, well-characterized population-based cohorts that comprise the heterogeneity and diversity of asymptomatic individuals and 4) algorithmic development that considers multi-marker arrays (e.g., integrated-omics, genetics, biofluids, imaging, etc.) and advanced computational analytics and technologies.
