Variation in the gene encoding the cysteine protease calpain-10 has been linked and associated with risk of type 2 diabetes. We have examined the effect of three polymorphisms in the calpain-10 gene (SNP-43, Indel-19, and SNP-63) on the development of type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population in a pooled analysis of 927 patients and 929 controls. We observed that SNP-43, Indel-19, and SNP-63 either individually or as a haplotype were not associated with altered risk of type 2 diabetes with the exception of the rare 111/ 221 haplogenotype ( odds ratio ( OR) = 3.53, P= 0.02). However, strati. cation based on the median age-at-diagnosis in the pooled study population (< 50 and ≥50 years) revealed that allele 2 of Indel-19 and the 121 haplotype were associated with reduced risk in patients with later age-at-diagnosis (age-at-diagnosis ≥ 50 years OR = 0.82 and 0.80, respectively; P = 0.04 and 0.02). Thus, variation in the calpain-10 gene may affect risk of type 2 diabetes in Japanese, especially in older individuals.
