Abstract
Abstract Background The combinatorial effect of multiple genetic factors calculated as a polygenic risk score (PRS) has been studied to predict disease progression to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Previous studies have investigated the performance of PRS in the prediction of disease progression to AD by including and excluding single nucleotide polymorphisms within the region surrounding the APOE gene. These studies may have missed the APOE genotype-specific predictability of PRS for disease progression to AD. Methods We analyzed 732 MCI from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort, including those who progressed to AD within 5 years post-baseline ( n = 270) and remained stable as MCI ( n = 462). The predictability of PRS including and excluding the APOE region (PRS + APOE and PRS − APOE ) on the conversion to AD and its interaction with the APOE ε4 carrier status were assessed using Cox regression analyses. Results PRS + APOE (hazard ratio [HR] 1.468, 95% CI 1.335–1.615) and PRS − APOE (HR 1.293, 95% CI 1.157–1.445) were both associated with a significantly increased risk of MCI progression to dementia. The interaction between PRS + APOE and APOE ε4 carrier status was significant with a P -value of 0.0378. The association of PRSs with the progression risk was stronger in APOE ε4 non-carriers (PRS + APOE : HR 1.710, 95% CI 1.244–2.351; PRS − APOE : HR 1.429, 95% CI 1.182–1.728) than in APOE ε4 carriers (PRS + APOE : HR 1.167, 95% CI 1.005–1.355; PRS − APOE : HR 1.172, 95% CI 1.020–1.346). Conclusions PRS could predict the conversion of MCI to dementia with a stronger association in APOE ε4 non-carriers than APOE ε4 carriers. This indicates PRS as a potential genetic predictor particularly for MCI with no APOE ε4 alleles.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
