Smoking status (ever vs never smokers)

CADM2 · rs117898875

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 518,633 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0319 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.043); p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 96% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p12.1 — between genes, 285.6 kb from SRRM1P2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Smoking status (ever vs never smokers) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Smoking status (ever vs never smokers).

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Smoking status (ever vs never smokers) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs117898875

What is rs117898875?

rs117898875 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CADM2 gene. Published research associates it with smoking status (ever vs never smokers). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs117898875 linked to?

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

Does having rs117898875 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 rs117898875 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30643258. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
