Fig. 3: Forest plots of risk of Aβ deposition according to the APOE4 and SORL1 status.

a Aβ deposition risk between APOE4 carriers and non-carriers. b Aβ deposition risk according to APOE4 status and SORL1/rs76490923 genotype. c Aβ deposition risk according to SORL1/rs76490923 genotype stratified by APOE4 status. The joint association analyses were conducted on 4042 study samples, combining data from stage 1 and stage 2 datasets. The number of Aβ-positive cases represents participants classified as Aβ-positive according to the CERAD neuropathological category. Boxes represent the adjusted odds ratio, with horizontal lines around the boxes indicating 95% confidence intervals. The odds ratios were estimated using logistic regression models, adjusted for age, sex, cohort type, and the first five principal components of ancestry. p values were determined using a Wald test. p values for the trend were calculated using the Cochran-Armitage trend test. All p values were derived from two-sided tests. Exact statistical values are provided as a Source Data file.
