Abstract
AbstractMultiplexed assays of variant effects (MAVEs) guide clinical variant interpretation and reveal disease mechanisms. To date, MAVEs have focussed on a single mutation type - amino acid (AA) substitutions - despite the diversity of coding variants that cause disease. Here we use Deep Indel Mutagenesis (DIM) to generate the first comprehensive atlas of diverse variant effects for a disease protein, the amyloid beta (Aß) peptide that aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is mutated in familial AD (fAD). The atlas identifies known fAD mutations and reveals many variants beyond substitutions accelerate Aß aggregation and are likely to be pathogenic. Truncations, substitutions, insertions, single- and internal multi-AA deletions differ in their propensity to enhance or impair aggregation, but likely pathogenic variants from all classes are highly enriched in the polar N-terminus of Aß. This first comparative atlas highlights the importance of including diverse mutation types in MAVEs and provides important mechanistic insights into amyloid nucleation.
