Table 1 Model description for the PRS models presented in the manuscript.

From: Identifying individuals with high risk of Alzheimer’s disease using polygenic risk scores

Model Name

Model description

ORS.full

PRS including SNPs with a pT ≤ 1e-5

ORS.no.APOE

PRS including SNPs with a pT ≤ 1e-5 and excluding SNPs in the APOE region (chr19:44.4-46.5 Mb)

PRS.full

PRS including SNPs with a pT ≤ 0.1 (unless otherwise specified)

PRS.no.APOE

PRS including SNPs with a pT ≤ 0.1 and excluding SNPs in the APOE region (chr19:44.4-46.5 Mb) (unless otherwise specified)

PRS.AD

PRS calculated as a weighted sum of PRS.no.APOE (including SNPs with a pT ≤ 0.1, unless otherwise specified) and APOE(ε2 + ε4), where APOE effects were weighted with effect sizes (B(ε2) = −0.47 and B(ε4) = 1.12) as in Kunkle et al. 2019
