What the study found

Who was studied up to 433,216 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.015 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.019); p = 6 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.31 — between genes, 9.5 kb from CTTNBP2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs10233018

What is rs10233018?

rs10233018 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTTNBP2 gene. Published research associates it with smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10233018 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Smoking Behaviour and Nicotine Dependence. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs10233018 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs10233018 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biol Psychiatry 2018, PMID:30679032. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
