A common P86L variant in CALHM1 was recently identified to increase susceptibility to Alzheimer disease (AD) in individuals of European-descent. To determine whether or not this association is also valid in a different ethnic population, we directly sequenced three nearby SNPs including P86L in more than 2,500 Japanese AD case-control samples. We found no association between CALHM1 P86L polymorphism and AD risk...
