  1. aAD includes both autosomal dominant AD (ADAD) and late-onset AD (LOAD)
  2. The cellular population structure was inferred using the ssNMF method. Effects and p-values for the association with disease status, clinical dementia rating and Braak staging using generalized mixed models. We identified similar trends with approximately the same significance levels
  3. AD Alzheimer’s disease, ADAD autosomal dominant AD, LOAD late-onset AD
