Standard

Smoking initiation

PCDH15 · rs1733758

Strength of the evidence

2 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−28, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 3,382,012 European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American, African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00859 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0071-0.0101); p = 1 × 10−28.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.1 — inside PCDH15.

The share of all copies of this position that are each version. Source: the population studies published in dbSNP (US NCBI); each row names its study. The ancestry rows are gnomAD's own groups (via Ensembl), as the survey defines them, not races.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
