Abstract excerpt
A recent paper reported that a variant (rs2986017) of the calcium homeostasis modulator 1 (CALHM1) gene affects risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aims to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CALHM1 gene are associated with AD. SNPs in the genes of two other CALHM subtypes, CALHM2 and CALHM3, were also studied. Our study failed to detect any association between...
