  1. The top five significant upregulated or downregulated gene set enrichment analysis GO are shown for each genotype group listed by pFDR-values, if the term had a pFDR-value < 0.01. APOE4 carriers N, 31, APOE4 non-carriers N, 34, amyloid negative–positive or amyloid positive-positive N, 9, amyloid negative-negative N, 56. Abbreviations: CC cellular compartment, BP biological processes, MF molecular function. The normalised enrichment score accounts for size differences in gene sets and correlations between gene sets and the expression dataset to allow direct comparisons across gene set results. A negative score means the enrichment is downregulated
