Consistent but indirect evidence has implicated genetic factors in smoking behavior,. We
report meta-analyses of several smoking phenotypes within cohorts of the Tobacco and …

The identification and exploration of genetic loci that influence smoking behaviors have
been conducted primarily in populations of the European ancestry. Here we report results of …

Here we report a large genome-wide association study (GWAS) for longitudinal smoking
phenotypes in 286,118 individuals from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) where we …

Smoking is a common risk factor for many diseases. We conducted genome-wide
association meta-analyses for the number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) in smokers …

Background Although many years of genetic epidemiological studies have demonstrated
that genetics plays a significant role in determining smoking behavior, little information is …

Research on the genetics of smoking has increased our understanding of nicotine
dependence, and it is likely to illuminate the mechanisms by which cigarette smoking …

Considerable evidence indicates that smoking behavior is under a degree of genetic
influence. We conducted a systematic review of candidate gene studies of smoking behavior …

The contribution of common genetic variation to one or more established smoking behaviors
was investigated in a joint analysis of two genome wide association studies (GWAS) …

Smoking is a major heritable and modifiable risk factor for many diseases, including cancer,
common respiratory disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Fourteen genetic loci have …

Background Classical genetic studies indicate that nicotine dependence is a substantially
heritable complex disorder. Genetic vulnerabilities to nicotine dependence largely overlap …
