Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Numerous genome-wide association studies suggest that rs1051730 is significantly associated with nicotine dependence and further lung cancer in Caucasian. Since rs1051730 is a synonymous variant at CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit), it might be hypothesized that the causal variant might be other SNP(s) in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD). METHODS: LD analysis and...
