rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Two variants in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes CHRNA5 and CHRNA3 on 15q25, rs16969968 and rs578776, were associated with cotinine (P = 0.001 and 0.03, respectively) in current smokers and with lung cancer risk (P < 0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively). 21862624

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Diplotype analysis of rs3841324 with either rs16969968 or rs8034191 showed that these polymorphisms influenced the lung cancer risk independently. 22028403

2011

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE In models adjusting for cigarettes-per-day, we confirm the association between rs16969968 and lung cancer (p<10(-20)) and observe a nominally significant association with COPD (p = 0.01); the other loci are not significantly associated with either lung cancer or COPD after adjusting for rs16969968. 20700436

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE A four-SNP haplotype spanning CHRNA5 (rs11637635 C, rs17408276 T, rs16969968 G) and CHRNA3 (rs578776 G) was associated with increased lung cancer risk (P = 0.002). 20587604

2010

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Recently, to identify genetic factors that modify lung cancer risk, CHRNA5 non-synonymous variant amino acid position 398 (D398N) was identified. 19577767

2010

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Associations between 15q25 and the risk of lung cancer were replicated in white ever-smokers (rs16969968: odds ratio [OR] = 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.21 to 1.32, P(trend) = 2 x 10(-26)), and this association was stronger for those diagnosed at younger ages. 20548021

2010

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE We performed a detailed analysis of one 15q single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs16969968) with smoking behaviour and cancer risk in a total of 17 300 subjects from five LC studies and four upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer studies. 19776245

2010

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE We conclude that there are at least two distinct mechanisms conferring risk for nicotine dependence and lung cancer: altered receptor function caused by a D398N amino acid variant in CHRNA5 (rs16969968) and variability in CHRNA5 mRNA expression. 19443489

2009

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE We also examined the association of CHRNA5 D398N polymorphism with lung cancer risk and with CHRNA5 mRNA levels in the normal lung. 19223495

2009

dbSNP: rs16969968
rs16969968
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE We used urinary biomarkers to test whether two linked lung cancer risk variants in CHRNA3 (rs1051730) and CHRNA5 (rs16969968) are associated with intensity of smoking and exposure to a tobacco-specific carcinogenic nitrosamine per cigarette dose. 19010884
