Table 2. Association of Alzheimer’s disease polygenic risk score with MCI sub-groups based on the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT).

Full regression results of logistic regression models. Odds ratios represent the odds of being in the AVLT-impaired group compared to the AVLT-normal group. The table on the left displays results from the model including the full Alzheimer’s disease polygenic risk score (AD-PRS). The table on the right displays results from the “No APOE’ Ad-PRS which excludes SNPs in the region of the APOE gene as well as a separate variable coding for the presence versus absence of the directly genotyped APOE-ε4+ allele. Both models included age and the first ten genetic principal components (PC) as covariates.
