Smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular) (MTAG)

ARID5B · rs2393780

Where this position leads

Condition: Smoking Behaviour and Nicotine Dependence

What the study found

Who was studied up to 1,359,002 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0115 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0094-0.0137); p = 2 × 10⁻²⁶.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q21.2 — in an intron of ARID5B.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular) (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular) (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular) (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2393780

What is rs2393780?

rs2393780 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARID5B gene. Published research associates it with smoking initiation (ever regular vs never regular) (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2393780 linked to?

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

Does having rs2393780 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 rs2393780 come from?

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