  1. Multiplicative effects, 95% CIs, and p-values result from negative binomial regression models that were adjusted for age at death and sex. Multiplicative effects are interpreted as the multiplicative increase on the mean LB count for the given haplogroup. After applying a Bonferroni correction for multiple testing separately for each outcome measure, P-values < 0.0042 (associations with middle frontal, superior temporal, inferior parietal, and cingulate LB counts) and < 0.0045 (associations with parahippocampal LB count) were considered statistically significant.
  2. aHaplogroups that occurred in < 10 subjects in a given association analysis not examined in that analysis. LB = Lewy body. CI = confidence interval
