Table 2 Regression results for the different PRS and amyloid rate of change. Raw values are shown, significant p-values in bold (< 0.017 (multiple pT) or < 0.05 (for single score)). APOE region: chromosome 19: 45–48.8 Mb. APOE SNPs: rs429358, rs7412. Baseline age, sex, and PCs 1–3 included as covariates. N = 90
