Abstract excerpt

The beta2-neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene (CHRNB2) is a logical candidate for influencing smoking behavior and nicotine dependence. We discovered six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CHRNB2 gene by surveying 15.4 kb of genomic sequence including a previously undescribed 3' untranslated region that extends 4.0 kb downstream of the coding region. One of the SNPs causes an amino acid...
