A novel smoking cessation behavior based on quit attempts may identify new genes associated with long-term abstinence
Background
Smoking cessation at any age has been shown to improve quality of life, decrease illness, and reduce mortality. About half of smokers attempt to quit each year, but only ∼ 7 % maintain long-term abstinence unaided. Few genetic factors have been consistently associated with smoking cessation, possibly due to poor phenotype definition.
Methods
We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with an alternative phenotype based on the difficulty of quitting smoking (DQS) in the Cancer Prevention Study-3 cohort. Difficult quitters were defined as having made at least ten quit attempts, whether successful or not, and easy quitters as having quit after only one attempt. Only individuals of European ancestry were selected for the study. Among 10,004 smokers (5,071 difficult quitters, 4,933 easy quitters), we assessed the genetic heritability of DQS and evaluated associations between DQS and each genome-wide variant using logistic regression while adjusting for confounders, including smoking intensity (cigarettes per day).
Results
The genetic heritability of the DQS phenotype was 13 %, comparable to, or higher than, the reported heritability of other smoking behaviors (e.g., smoking intensity, cessation). Although no variants were genome-wide significant, several genes were identified at a subthreshold level (p < 10-4). A variant in MEGF9 (rs149760032), a transmembrane protein largely expressed in the central nervous system, showed the strongest association with DQS (OR = 0.60, p = 1.3x10-7). Additional variants associated with DQS independently by smoking intensity were also detected in GLRA3 (rs73006492, OR = 0.77, p = 5.6x10-7) and FOCAD (rs112251973, OR = 1.96, p = 1.8x10-6) and are plausibly related to smoking cessation through pathways in the brain and respiratory system.
Conclusions
The use of an alternative cessation phenotype based on difficulty quitting smoking facilitated the identification of new pathways that could lead to unique smoking treatments.
期刊介绍:
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
