Convergence of genetic findings for nicotine dependence and smoking related diseases with chromosome 15q24-25
Open accessAbstract
Due to the adverse health consequences related to smoking, it is important to understand factors that contribute to nicotine dependence. The most replicated genetic finding for nicotine dependence points to variants on chromosome 15, which includes the alpha5-alpha3-beta4 nicotinic receptor gene cluster. A compelling functional variant is a polymorphism, rs16969968, which alters an amino acid in the alpha5 nicotinic receptor subunit. Several prominent studies report that the replicated nicotine dependence locus also influences the risk for lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This represents an exciting convergence of genetic findings, and highlights the potential for research on smoking to inform public health.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
