| Abstract: | Background The prevalence of tobacco usage in Native American adults and adolescents is higher than any other racial or ethnic group,
yet biological risk and protective factors underlying tobacco use in this ethnic group remain unknown. A genome scan for loci
associated with tobacco use phenotypes was performed with data collected from a community sample of Mission Indians residing
in Southwest California. |
