Different CRP cutoffs ≥3, 8, 9 and 10 mg/L were used. General linear regression (GLM) was used to study the relationships between these blood CRP cutoffs and two SNPs for AD biomarkers, including Abeta42, total Tau (t-Tau) and phosphorylated Tau (p-Tau), in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The models were adjusted for age, sex, years of education and APOE ɛ4. Prevalent AD was removed. Biomarkers at each last exam were used. Raw P values are shown.
aDummy variable for SNPs and CRP in Model: rs1057233: GG + GA = 1, AA = 0; rs3865444: CA + AA = 1, CC = 0; CRP cutoff code: < cutoff=0; ≥ cutoff=1.
