The 112/121 haplotype combination defined by the UCSNP-43, -19, and -63 alleles in the calpain-10 gene is associated with type 2 diabetes in Mexican Americans. To determine whether this genetic variation constitutes risk of type 2 diabetes in Japanese, we investigated its frequency in 177 patients with type 2 diabetes and 172 controls. Though this variation occurs in Japanese more frequently than in Mexican Americans, there is no significant difference in frequency between diabetic (29.9%) and control (31.9%) subjects. We also screened all exons and the putative promoter of the calpain-10 gene for mutations in 96 of the genotyped patients, resulting in the identification of 7 coding variants, including 3 missense mutations and 5 nucleotide alterations in the promoter. However, their frequencies all are similar in patients and controls, suggesting that these genetic variations are not a major factor in the occurrence of type 2 diabetes in Japanese, although they could yet be associated with various phenotypes of the disease.
