  1. Note: The pathway importance scores (PISs) were shown in the parenthesis. Note that the PIS is only comparable across one specific method
  2. Path1: APOE genotype →APOE gene expression→GRIN2A → CAPN2 → MAPT→AD
  3. Path2: APOE genotype →APOE gene expression →GRIN2A → MAPK1 → CASP3 → AD
  4. Path3: APOE genotype →APOE gene expression →GRIN2A → NOS1 → AD
  5. Path4: APOE genotype →APOE gene expression →CACNA1C → CAPN2 → MAPT→AD
  6. Path5: APOE genotype →APOE gene expression→CACNA1C → MAPK1 → CASP3 → AD
