Abstract excerpt

Data from twin studies have suggested that cigarette smoking has a significant heritable component. The serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) is a plausible candidate gene for smoking predisposition because of its association with psychological traits relevant to smoking behavior. The present investigation evaluated the associations of smoking practices and smoking cessation with a common polymorphism in the...
