Table 3.
RORB, no variant or variant versus AD, absent (no) or present (yes) in 502,494 subjects. The result is significant (p = 0.008, two-sided Fisher exact test). The total effect size of the variant on AD is small, 0.19%. But the decrease in effect size on AD, no variant to variant, is larger, 0.20–0.16%. Since the US prevalence of AD is 6,700,000 cases over age 65, the decrease in effect size represents 2680 cases of AD.
