Presentation_1_Investigation of the genetic effect of 56 tobacco-smoking susceptibility genes on DNA methylation and RNA expression in human brain.PPTX by Zhongli Yang (9750611)

“…An eQTL was revealed to significantly affect EGLN2 expression in the European sample and two mQTLs were respectively detected in CpG sites in NRXN1 and CYP2A7. Interestingly, we found for the first time that the minor allele of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3745277 located in CYP2A7P1 (downstream of CYP2B6) significantly decreased methylation at the CpG site for CYP2A7 (cg25427638; P = 5.31 × 10^–7), reduced expression of CYP2B6 (P = 0.03), and lowered the percentage of smokers (8.8% vs. 42.3%; Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.14, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.02–0.62; P = 4.47 × 10^–3) in a dominant way for the same cohort sample. …”
