SORL1 has been identified as a major contributor to Late-Onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). We test whether genetic variability in the 5′of SORL1 gene modulates the risk to develop LOAD via regulation of SORL1-mRNA expression and splicing. Two brain structures, differentially vulnerable to LOAD pathology, were examined in 144 brain samples from 92 neurologically normal individuals. The temporal cortex, which is more susceptible to Alzheimer’s pathology, demonstrated ~2-fold increase in SORL1-mRNAs levels in carriers of the minor alleles at SNPs, rs7945931 and rs2298525, compared to non-carriers. No genetic effect on total-SORL1-mRNA levels was detected in the frontal-cortex. However, rs11600875 minor allele was associated with significantly increased levels of exon-2 skipping, but only in frontal cortex. No correlation of SORL1-mRNAs expression was found between frontal and temporal cortexes. Collectively, indicating the brain-region specificity of the genetic regulation of SORL1 expression. Our results suggest that genetic regulation of SORL1 expression plays a role in disease risk and maybe responsible for the reported LOAD-associations. Further studies to detect the actual pathogenic variant/s are necessary.
