This Bayesian pharmacogenetic analysis of a bupropion vs placebo smoking cessation trial (n=436 European ancestry participants) identified four SNPs with pharmacogenetic relevance from 59 candidate SNPs in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor genes. The strongest signal was rs871058 in CHRNA5, which showed treatment-by-SNP interaction effects on 7-day smoking cessation rates. Bayesian hypothesis testing proved more conservative than unadjusted frequentist tests but less so than multiplicity-corrected tests, with no control SNPs showing significant associations.
About ZFYVE27
This gene encodes a protein with several transmembrane domains, a Rab11-binding domain and a lipid-binding FYVE finger domain. The encoded protein appears to promote neurite formation. A mutation in this gene has been reported to be associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia, however the pathogenicity of the mutation, which may simply represent a polymorphism, is unclear.
