Cohorts included in this study

  • 455,258 individuals of European ancestry = 71,880 (proxy) cases + 383,378 (proxy) controls
  • Phase 1: 79,145 individuals (Nsum; Neff=72,500) = 24,087 clinically diagnosed LOAD cases + paired with 55,058 controls.
  • Phase 2: 376,113 individuals of European ancestry from UKB with parental AD status = 47,793 proxy cases + 328,320 proxy controls.

The 79,145 individuals in phase 1 come from three sources:

  1. Alzheimer’s disease working group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC-ALZ) – 17477
  2. the International Genomics of Alzheimer’s Project (IGAP) – 54162
  3. the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) – 7506 individuals = 4343 cases + 3163 controls

Supplementary Table 1. Overview of cohorts for meta-analysis

  • Note: AD = Alzheimer’s disease; GWAS = genome-wide genotype data; WES = whole exome sequencing data; 1000G = Thousand Genomes; HRC = Haplotype Reference Consortium. * The PGC-ALZ summary statistic have been meta-analyzed with the other 3 main cohorts, but PGC-ALZ sub-cohort specific demographics are also displayed. The ‘age of onset’ and ‘age of last contact’ of the UKB samples, refers to the age of the UKB participants (so not of the parents). For the controls of the DemGene cohort, mean age was based on 2382 individuals for which this information was available. Proxy cases and controls only refers to the UKB cohort, all other cohorts are clinical case-control cohorts.
