Abstract:
This article contains data on the allele and genotype frequency for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes CHRNA5 (rs16969968, rs17408276, rs680244) CHRNA3 (rs6495307, rs12914385) NRXN1 (rs10865246, rs1882296, rs985919) and HTR2A (rs6311, rs6313) previously evaluated as genetic risk variants for cigarette smoking at an early age and relapse to smoking cessation treatment Pérez-Rubio et al., 2018. These SNPs were selected due to previous associations in other populations, including Mexican Mestizos. Smokers were classified according to the age at onset, cigarettes per day, nicotine dependence, COPD status and therapy received.

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
