This paper develops a polygenic score for smoking persistence and finds it is associated with earlier or later cessation ages across diverse populations.

This study identifies 40 circulating proteins associated with cancer risk using MR and colocalization, highlighting potential therapeutic targets and adverse effects of protein-altering interventions.

This study investigates the relationship between genetically predicted leukocyte telomere length and lung cancer risk, finding a causal association and novel susceptibility loci.

This study identifies eight novel lung cancer susceptibility loci and shows that germline variants related to smoking and DNA repair influence somatic mutation burden in lung tumors.
