Protein truncating variants (PTVs) in To identify high-priority missense variants (HPVs), we applied ‘domain mapping of disease mutations’ for the 637 unique coding In this sample, PTVs and HPVs associated with respectively a 35- and 10-fold increased risk of early onset AD and 17- and 6-fold increased risk of overall AD. The median age at onset (AAO) of PTV- and HPV-carriers was 62 and 64 years, and Our results justify a debate on whether HPV carriers should be considered for clinical counseling.

The leukodystrophy megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC) is characterized by infantile-onset macrocephaly and chronic edema of the brain white matter. With delayed onset, patients typically experience motor problems, epilepsy and slow cognitive decline. No treatment is available. Classic MLC is caused by bi-allelic recessive pathogenic variants in Show less
