Genome-Wide Association for Nicotine Dependence and Smoking Cessation Success in NIH Research Volunteers
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Phenotypes related to both nicotine dependence and ability to successfully quit smoking display substantial heritabilities in classical and molecular genetic studies. Twin studies suggest that some genetic components for dependence overlap with genetic components of ability to quit, but that many components do not overlap. Initial genome-wide association (GWA) studies have demonstrated haplotypes that distinguish...
