N1 - Funding Information:
We acknowledge support from The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and The Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development (ZonMW) (funding numbers 904-61-090, 904-61-193, 480-04-004, 400-05-717), NWO Genomics (SPI 56-464-14192), the Geestkracht program (10-000-1002), matching funds from universities and mental health care institutes involved in The Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA), the Centre for Neurogenomics and Cognitive Research (CNCR-VU), and the European Union (EU)/Quality of Life program (Generic) RTD actions (QLRT) (2001-01254). J.M.V. is financially supported by NWO (VENI 451-06-004). Genotyping was funded by the Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN) of the Foundation for the U.S. National Institutes of Health, and analysis was supported by grants from GAIN and the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (MH081802). Permutation tests were carried out on the Genetic Cluster Computer, which is financially supported by NWO (480-05-003). P.F.S. was supported by grants MH074027 and MH077139 from NIMH. J.K. and L.P. are supported by the Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence in Complex Disease Genetics. We would like to express our thanks to G.W. Montgomery for supervising sample preparation of the Australian sample. The Twins UK study is also funded by the Wellcome Trust, an NIHR fellowship, and an NIHR Biomedical Research Centre grant to Guys' and St. Thomas' Hospitals and King's College London. The Leiden Study was funded by grants from SenterNovem (IDE1014 and IGE5007) and The Netherlands Genomics Initiative (NGI)/NOW (05040202 and 050-060-810).

N2 - For the identification of genes associated with smoking initiation and current smoking, genome-wide association analyses were carried out in 3497 subjects. Significant genes that replicated in three independent samples (n = 405, 5810, and 1648) were visualized into a biologically meaningful network showing cellular location and direct interaction of their proteins. Several interesting groups of proteins stood out, including glutamate receptors (e.g., GRIN2B, GRIN2A, GRIK2, GRM8), proteins involved in tyrosine kinase receptor signaling (e.g., NTRK2, GRB14), transporters (e.g., SLC1A2, SLC9A9) and cell-adhesion molecules (e.g., CDH23). We conclude that a network-based genome-wide association approach can identify genes influencing smoking behavior.
