  1. Not all classifications were necessarily pathologically confirmed (Additional file 1: Table S1). First column: our study cohort. Next two columns: our preliminary cohort (before the removal of individuals not classified by our criteria) classified using literature criteria (Fig. 1a–b) [27, 51]. Remaining columns: category sizes in literature cohorts [2, 10, 13, 14, 18, 24, 27, 45, 47, 51]. For Beecham et al., Robinson et al., and Sabir et al., only analyses of APOE-ε4-associated risk for LB pathology or dementia are considered [2, 45, 47]. For Guerreiro et al., we describe the larger discovery cohort [24]
  2. aIn Dickson et al., the AD+LB+ individuals were subdivided into individuals with moderate or high AD pathology and brainstem, transitional, or diffuse LB pathology; the subgroup sizes are listed in the order moderate-brainstem, moderate-transitional, et cetera [18]. In Robinson et al., the AD+LB+ individuals were subdivided into individuals with primary intermediate or high AD pathology and secondary LB pathology and individuals with primary brainstem, limbic, or neocortical LB pathology [45]. In Kaivola et al., the AD+LB+ individuals were subdivided into individuals with intermediate or high AD pathology [27]. A separate analysis was performed on each subgroup in each of these three studies. bThese rows are populated only if an analysis was performed on an LB or LB+ group. In this case the sizes of the corresponding subgroups are marked as unknown (e.g., AD+LB+ and ADLB+ if LB+ is known). cThe six subgroups of this category were consolidated into two subgroups analyzed separately for association of APOE-ε4 with AD co-pathology versus sole intermediate or high AD pathology or LB co-pathology versus sole brainstem, limbic, or neocortical LB pathology: 130 individuals with primary AD pathology and secondary LB pathology and 96 with primary LB pathology and secondary AD pathology, respectively [45]
