  1. Data are presented as coefficients and weights. Coefficient gives the change in log odds of being a mutation carrier for each Z-score increase in the score on the cognitive test. Weight gives the weighting used when calculating the weighted cognitive composite score
  2. Abbreviations: C9orf72 chromosome 9 open reading frame 72, GRN progranulin, MAPT microtubule-associated protein tau, D-KEFS CWIT Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System Colour-Word Interference Test, FCSRT Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test
  3. aPositive coefficients indicate better performance in mutation carriers compared to controls and were not included in the composite score
