a

Values are compared with the ε3/ε3 reference group.

b

Models controlled for age at study baseline, sex, study (ENGAGE or EMERGE), last dose level before the ARIA event or censor, and genetic ancestry measured by PCs 1–10. Ε2/ε3 and ε2/ε4 genotypes were excluded from these analyses because small sample sizes in these groups led to potential model convergence issues.
