Abstract excerpt
Twelve single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human gamma-aminobutyric acid type B (GABA(B)) receptor subunit 2 gene (GABAB2) were tested for association with nicotine dependence (ND) in an extensively phenotyped cohort of 1,276 smokers and nonsmokers, representing approximately 404 nuclear families of African American (AA) or European American (EA) origin. The GABAB2 gene encodes a subunit of the GABA(B)...
