Genome-wide meta-analyses identify multiple loci associated with smoking behavior

Helena Furberg, +123 more
- 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A common biological basis of obesity and nicotine addiction

Thorgeir E. Thorgeirsson, +316 more
TL;DR: The results strongly point to a common biological basis of the regulation of theregulation of the authors' appetite for tobacco and food, and thus the vulnerability to nicotine addiction and obesity, and the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms affecting body mass index (BMI).
Journal ArticleDOI

An exome array study of the plasma metabolome

TL;DR: This work analyzes the association between 217 plasma metabolites and exome variants on the Illumina HumanExome Beadchip in 2,076 participants in the Framingham Heart Study and replication in 1,528 participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study to provide a more complete picture of the genetic architecture of the plasma metabolome.
