  1. Two-sided TWAS Z-scores and p values were presented here for the models of Avg-valid + SR, SR-TWAS, PrediXcan validation base models, and TIGAR validation base models. The signs of Z-scores show the directions of the mediated genetic effects on AD dementia. The genome-wide significance threshold was Bonferroni-corrected for testing ~20 K genes.
  2. aKnown GWAS risk gene of AD.
  3. bGene within 1 Mb of known GWAS risk gene of AD.
  4. cPreviously observed TWAS risk gene of AD.
  5. dGene within 1 Mb of previously observed TWAS risk gene of AD.
