I note that there has been at least one negative finding for the same gene:

"No Association Between Cholinergic Muscarinic Receptor 2 (CHRM2) Genetic Variation and Cognitive Abilities in Three Independent Samples."

The study appears to be looking at SNPs - though it tracks quite a number of them. Possibly the relevant variation has a geographic component.
