The p-values and effect directions (in brackets; positive + and negative −) are presented, significant results are displayed in bold. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, intracranial volume, educational attainment, three genetic PCs, and genetic batch. Coding alleles: 5-HTTLPR = L allele, APOE = ε4 allele, BDNF = Val allele, COMT = Met allele, KIBRA = C allele. HC, hippocampus; CA, cornu ammonis; DG, dentate gyrus; HATA, hippocampus–amygdala transition area.
