  1. R2 Variance explained by component.
  2. MMSE correlation Spearman correlation between principal component and MMSE scores. MMSE scores were residualized for age, sex, and genetic ancestry.
  3. Principal component analysis of CSF biomarkers per study (EMIF/ADNI) and across studies (Mega). Component loadings of each biomarker (first column) on five principal components (column groups two to six) are displayed in order of the component’s explained variance (R2). Analyses are based on 480 participants (EMIF: 353, ADNI: 127).
