TL;DR: A meta-analyses of several smoking phenotypes within cohorts of the Tobacco and Genetics Consortium found the strongest association was a synonymous 15q25 SNP in the nicotinic receptor gene CHRNA3, and three loci associated with number of cigarettes smoked per day were identified.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study to identify common genetic variation involved in susceptibility to upper aero-digestive tract (UADT) cancers implicate two variants at 4q21 and 12q24 and further highlight three ADH variants in UADT cancer susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Work-related Cancer in the Nordic Countries
TL;DR: Lung cancer was the most frequent cancer among men in the present study and there was also an excess risk of pleural cancer in the occupational group of technical, chemical, physical, and biological workers, including, among others, engineers and chemists potentially exposed to asbestos.
