The GWAS summary results from the IGAP were downloaded from the National Institute on Aging Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS, https://www.niagads.org/)20. Details on data generation and analyses by the IGAP have been previously described20. In brief, the IGAP is a large study based upon genome-wide association using individuals of European ancestry. Stage 1 of the IGAP comprises 21,982 AD cases and 41,944 cognitively normal controls from four consortia: the Alzheimer Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC), the European Alzheimer’s Disease Initiative (EADI), the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium, and the Genetic and Environmental Risk in AD/Defining Genetic, Polygenic, and Environmental Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease (GERAD/PERADES) Consortium. Summary statistics are available for 11,480,632 variants, both genotyped and imputed (1000 Genomes phase 1, v3). In Stage 2, 11,632 SNPs were genotyped in an independent set of 8362 AD cases and 10,483 controls.
