A susceptibility locus for lung cancer maps to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes on 15q25

Rayjean J. Hung, +64 more
- 03 Apr 2008 -

Journal ArticleDOI

Diet and overall survival in elderly people

TL;DR: A diet meeting currently understood health criteria does predict survival among people, according to the results of an international cross cultural study of food habits in later life.
Journal ArticleDOI

- 01 May 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analyses of several smoking phenotypes within cohorts of the Tobacco and Genetics Consortium found the strongest association was a synonymous 15q25 SNP in the nicotinic receptor gene CHRNA3, and three loci associated with number of cigarettes smoked per day were identified.
