Smoking initiation

SEMA3F · rs12632110

What the study found

Who was studied 842,717 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.02 times the odds of Smoking initiation; p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — in an intron of SEMA3F.

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/G One copy of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12632110

What is rs12632110?

rs12632110 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SEMA3F gene. Published research associates it with smoking initiation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12632110 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 rs12632110 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:33082346. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
