CHRNA3 · rs112272197

What the study found

Who was studied 337,334 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.051 higher (95% confidence interval 0.039-0.064); p = 1 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.1 — in an intron of CHRNA3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cigarettes smoked per day (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cigarettes smoked per day (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cigarettes smoked per day (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs112272197

What is rs112272197?

rs112272197 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CHRNA3 gene. Published research associates it with cigarettes smoked per day (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs112272197 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 rs112272197 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36376304. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
