  • Genetic diversity fuels gene discovery for tobacco and alcohol use - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36477530

    ABSTRACT: Tobacco and alcohol use are heritable behaviours associated with 15% and 5.3% of worldwide deaths, respectively, due largely to broad increased risk for disease and injury. These substances are used across the globe, yet genome-wide association studies have focused largely on individuals of European ancestries. Here we leveraged global genetic diversity across 3.4 million individuals from four major clines of global ancestry (approximately 21% non-European) to power the discovery and fine-mapping of genomic loci associated with tobacco and alcohol use, to inform function of these loci via ancestry-aware transcriptome-wide association studies, and to evaluate the genetic architecture and predictive power of polygenic risk within and across populations. We found that increases in s

Discuss with your doctor

  • Genetic predisposition to smoking initiation Moderate

    SGMS1 A allele confers significantly increased smoking initiation susceptibility; personalized prevention approaches tailored to genetic risk can optimize outcomes

    Discuss this genetic result with healthcare provider to develop tailored smoking prevention or cessation plan

Lifestyle

  • Personalized smoking prevention or cessation strategy Moderate

    SGMS1 rs11006193 A allele significantly increases smoking initiation risk (p=2.00e-17, n=3.3M); carriers show heightened susceptibility to smoking onset

    Never-smokers: prioritize avoidance through education and support programs; current smokers: discuss evidence-based cessation strategies with provider
