Genetic variation in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (<jats:italic>CETP</jats:italic>) locus is associated with altered HDL‐C. We aimed to assess AD risk by genetically predicted HDL‐C.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Ten single nucleotide polymorphisms within the <jats:italic>CETP</jats:italic> locus predicting HDL‐C were applied to the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Project (IGAP) exome chip stage 1 results in up 16,097 late onset AD cases and 18,077 cognitively normal elderly controls. We performed instrumental variables analysis using inverse variance weighting, weighted median, and MR‐Egger.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Based on 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms distinctly predicting HDL‐C in the <jats:italic>CETP</jats:italic> locus, we found that HDL‐C was not associated with risk of AD (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &gt; .7).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion</jats:title><jats:p>Our study does not support the role of HDL‐C on risk of AD through HDL‐C altered by <jats:italic>CETP</jats:italic>.
