Sequence variants at CHRNB3-CHRNA6 and CYP2A6 affect smoking behavior.

Sequence variants at CHRNB3-CHRNA6 and CYP2A6 affect smoking behavior.

Smoking is a common risk factor for many diseases. We conducted genome-wide association meta-analyses for the number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) in smokers (n = 31,266) and smoking initiation (n = 46,481) using samples from the ENGAGE Consortium. In a second stage, we tested selected SNPs wit...
