Genetics and lung cancer. Smoking out the smoking gene
Your genes may control how much you smoke and how likely you are to get lung cancer as a result 		Word file 47K Wes Apr 18, 2008
When the Smoke Clears
Three studies identify an association between genetic variation at a location on chromosome 15 and risk of lung cancer. But they disagree on whether the link is direct or mediated through nicotine dependence. 		Adobe Acrobat file 131K Wes Apr 18, 2008
A susceptibility locus for lung cancer
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide, with over 1 million cases annually. To identify genetic factors that modify disease risk, we conducted a genome-wide study by analysing 317,139 SNPs in 1,989 lung cancer cases 		Adobe Acrobat file 311K Wes Apr 18, 2008
A variant associated with nicotine dependence
Smoking is a leading cause of preventable death, causing about 5 million premature deaths worldwide each year. Evidence for genetic influence on smoking behaviour and nicotine dependence has prompted a search for susceptibility genes 		Adobe Acrobat file 174K Wes Apr 18, 2008
