Smoking cessation

near CYP2A6 · rs145580088

What the study found

Who was studied up to 547,219 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.091 higher (95% confidence interval 0.066-0.116); p = 9 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.2 — between genes, 6.6 kb from CYP2A6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs145580088

What is rs145580088?

rs145580088 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CYP2A6 gene. Published research associates it with smoking cessation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs145580088 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 rs145580088 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30643251. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
