Note: PWAS, proteome-wide association study; TWAS, transcriptome-wide association study. ROS/MAP and Banner means human brain proteomes for PWAS analysis; CBR and CBRS means two datasets of human brain gene expressions for TWAS analysis. IDP, imaging derived phenotype; ROI, region of interest; DKT, Desikan–Killiany–Tourville cortical labeling protocol; SWI, susceptibility weighted imaging. FAST is a segmentation sentence in a brain image analysis software.
