Project description:Cigarette smoking is one of the largest causes of preventable death worldwide. Smoking behaviors, including age at smoking initiation (ASI), smoking dependence (SD), and smoking cessation (SC), are all complex phenotypes determined by both genetic and environmental factors as well as their interactions. To identify susceptibility loci for each smoking phenotype, numerous studies have been conducted, with approaches including genome-wide linkage scans, candidate gene-based association analysis, and genome-wide association study (GWAS). Therefore, we conducted an exome-wide association study to identify new susceptibility loci for the risk of nicotine dependence in European-American populations.
