Abbreviations: FDR, false discovery rate; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.
SNPs were selected based on results of prior genome-wide association studies4,5 with P < .001. Results are not shown for 11 SNPs at novel candidate loci with P > .05. The genetic risk score includes all (5 of 16) SNPs outside the APOE locus achieving P < .05 in ordinal logistic regression. All analyses are adjusted for age, sex, history of hypertension, education level (<13, 13–16, or >16 years), alcohol abuse, smoking (ever smoker status), and principal components 1 and 2. Analyses for SNPs outside the APOE locus were also adjusted for APOE genotypes (number of ε2 and ε4 copies).
