TL;DR: In this paper, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CHRNA5-A3-B4 gene cluster associated with heaviness of smoking within smokers was found to be associated with higher body mass index (BMI) in never smokers and lower BMI in current smokers.

TL;DR: The largest genetic study of migraine to date, comprising 59,674 cases and 316,078 controls from 22 GWA studies, identified 45 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms significantly associated with migraine risk that map to 38 distinct genomic loci, including 28 loci not previously reported and the first locus identified on chromosome X.

TL;DR: This study assessed the association of insulin resistance with depressive symptoms in a prospective cohort of men from Caerphilly in Wales and found that insulin resistance may protect against depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cigarette Smoking as a Potential Cause of Cervical Cancer: Has Confounding been Controlled?
TL;DR: A simulation approach was used to investigate whether a substantial 'independent' association between smoking and cervical cancer might be expected as a result of the use of a poor proxy for the aetiological pathogen, even if there is no true effect of smoking.
