Genome-wide association study of smoking trajectory and meta-analysis of smoking status in 842,000 individuals

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for cigarette smoking have identified several hundred loci that account for a small proportion of the overall genetic risk. Here, the authors report a large GWAS for smoking trajectories and meta-analysis for smoking status, finding multiple plausible loci.
