A whole blood gene expression-based signature for smoking status

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide and has been shown to increase the risk of multiple diseases including coronary artery disease (CAD). We sought to identify genes whose levels of expression in whole blood correlate with self-reported smoking status. METHODS: Microarrays were used to identify gene expression changes in whole blood which correlated with self-reported smoking...
