  eLife assessment

  The study has some significance for the field of dementia research and neurodegenerative diseases more broadly. Using the brain-age paradigm, the main findings are that having an older-appearing brain is associated with more advanced stages of amyloid and tau pathology, higher white matter hyperintensities, higher plasma NfL and carrying the APOE 34 allele. Findings were broadly similar in cognitively normal people and people with mild cognitive impairment and the evidence for these findings is convincing. Although sex differences are emphasized, the evidence for this is generally incomplete.

  Evaluation Summary:

  This manuscript describes de novo dominant toxic mutations in CRMP1 in 3 probands with a shared neurodevelopmental phenotype. The authors show that the mutations lead to reduced protein production from recombinant expression and that the mutations correlate with shorter neurites in cultured cells. This is the first report of mutations in CRMP1 in humans, encoding a cytoskeletal regulator protein. The results could have implications for physicians, geneticists, neurodevelopmental scientists, and cell biologists.
