Association of a single nucleotide polymorphism in neuronal acetylcholine receptor subunit alpha 5 (CHRNA5) with smoking status and with 'pleasurable buzz' during early experimentation with smoking. (2008) PMID:18783506 cited
Only six African Americans carried one copy of the ‘A’ allele, showing a different allele frequency compared to Caucasians.
