Genes in all GWAS loci were prioritized as described in the Methods (Supplementary Table 7). Listed are genes for which burden tests were significant in the mega-analysis after multiple testing correction using a Benjamini–Hochberg FDR < 0.05. P values for burden tests were determined using ordinal logistic regression (two-sided tests); a case/control OR was computed for reference. aThese genes also included the SORL1, TREM2, ABCA7, ADAM10 and ABCA1 genes, which were also identified in the rare-variant burden analysis shown in Table 1 and therefore are not shown (see Supplementary Table 8 for the full analysis). Bold text: result of burden test MAF < 0.1% unchanged compared to the burden test MAF < 1%.
