Survival analyses with the Fine-Gray models indicated that 5 of the 13 proteins (EPHA2, METAP1D, FLT4, APOE [apolipoprotein E], and PDE5A [cGMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase]) were associated with the risk of all-cause dementia or stroke independent of age and sex, consistent with their MR evidence. This evidence concerns the gene FLT4 and dementia.
