متن کاملGenetic variation at CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 interacts with smoking status to influence body mass index
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking is associated with lower body mass index (BMI), and a commonly cited reason for unwillingness to quit smoking is a concern about weight gain. Common variation in the CHRNA5-CHRNA3-CHRNB4 gene region (chromosome 15q25) is robustly associated with smoking quantity in smokers, but its association with BMI is unknown. We hypothesized that genotype would accurately refle...
