Performance Metrics

Disclaimer: The performance metrics are displayed as reported by the source studies. It is important to note that metrics are not necessarily comparable with each other. For example, metrics depend on the sample characteristics (described by the PGS Catalog Sample Set [PSS] ID), phenotyping, and statistical modelling. Please refer to the source publication for additional guidance on performance.

Additional Sample/Cohort Information
PSS000084EFIGA recruited patients from families multiply affected by LOAD, but of Caribbean Hispanic ancestry...  from the Dominican Republic and New York. Families were recruited after confirming diagnoses in the probands. Family members with dementia were also interviewed and neurologically evaluated. Clinical diagnoses were made in a consensus diagnostic conference by a panel of neurologists, neuropsychologists, and psychiatrists. Detailed description is available elsewhere.14 For these family-based studies, we included data from families for which their members (1) were 60 years or older at the time of enrollment; (2) had a diagnosis of probable or possible LOAD according to National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke–Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINDS-ADRDA) criteria; (3) had available pedigree information and covariates.Show more
