Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the genetic factors contributing to nicotine dependence, specifically through two measures: the Fagerström test for nicotine dependence (FTND) and the time to smoke the first cigarette (TTFC) in the morning.
- Genome-wide meta-analyses were conducted using data from over 19,000 and 18,000 adult smokers of European ancestry, respectively, revealing several promising genetic loci associated with TTFC.
- The research highlights the need for further verification of these genetic candidates and identifies important biological pathways, suggesting a connection between nicotine dependence and broader addiction and psychiatric disorders.
