Associated with smoking phenotype (p=0.007) based on association study of 2,000+ individuals, and functional studies demonstrated that the risk allele decreased response to a nicotine agonist, therefore the rs16969968(A) allele is likely to be involved in nicotine dependence.[PMID 18519524OA-icon.png]

In a study 500+ individuals with cocaine dependence, the same rs16969968(A) allele was associated with a 0.67x decreased risk (p = 0.0045).[PMID 18519132OA-icon.png]

A study of 200 individuals replicated the association between this SNP and nicotine dependence, and also concluded that the rs16969968(A) allele was significantly associated with "enhanced pleasurable responses" to a person's first cigarette.[PMID 18783506OA-icon.png]
