Prof Marcus Munafo
Title of project: 
Genetic variation and alcohol use and smoking - contribution to GSCAN GWAS Sequencing Consortium of Alcohol and Nicotine use
Proposal summary: 

In this study, we will be exploring the relationship between genetics and smoking and alcohol use. We will combine the findings with findings from other studies around the world. We will also explore whether our environment (based on year of birth) can impact this relationship.

Impact of research: 
An impactful publication which will facilitate further analyses such as Mendelian randomisation studies. Previous versions have been cited over 800 times.
