  1. Subjects are divided into three groups (low, intermediate and high risk) according to their G72 status (based on two SNPs, M23 and M24). (a) Subjects' characteristics: sex, age and education. There were no significant group differences in sex ratio, age or education (p > .1). (b) Cognitive results of a neuropsychological test battery testing working memory, executive functions, verbal fluency and attention. Due to Bonferroni corrections for multiple testing, a significance threshold of p = 0.008 was set as significance criterion. Standard deviations are given in parentheses. Significant results are marked with '*'.
