Association of CR1, CLU and PICALM with Alzheimer's disease in a cohort of clinically characterized and neuropathologically verified individuals.

This study confirmed APOE , clusterin , complement receptor 1 and PICALM, and also angiotensin converting enzyme ACE and cystatin CST3 as Alzheimer's disease risk factors

However, note that PICALM did not turn up positive in a chinese study Yu et al, 20101  supporting the notion that genetic associations may cluster in geographical hot and cold spots.  See database
