Nicotine withdrawal symptom count

SLC14A2 · rs117354958

What the study found

Who was studied 1,703 Finnish ancestry ever smoker individuals from up to 739 families.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.32 higher (95% confidence interval 0.85-1.79); p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.3 — in an intron of SLC14A2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs117354958

What is rs117354958?

rs117354958 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC14A2 gene. Published research associates it with nicotine withdrawal symptom count. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117354958 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 rs117354958 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Addict Biol 2018, PMID:29532581. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
