Multiple genetic tests for susceptibility to smoking do not outperform simple family history.

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To evaluate the utility of using predictive genetic screening of the population for susceptibility to smoking. METHODS: The results of meta-analyses of genetic association studies of smoking behaviour were used to create simulated data sets using Monte Carlo methods. The ability of the genetic tests to screen for smoking was assessed using receiver operator characteristic curve analysis. The result was...
