The concentrations of high- and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides are influenced by smoking, but it is unknown whether genetic associations with lipids may be modified by smoking. We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide gene-smoking interaction study in 133,805 individuals with follow-up in an additional 253,467 individuals. Combined meta-analyses identified 13 new loci associated with lipids, some of which were detected only because association differed by smoking status. Additionally, we demonstrate the importance of including diverse populations, particularly in studies of interactions with lifestyle factors, where genomic and lifestyle differences by ancestry may contribute to novel findings.

Abstract
The concentrations of high- and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides are influenced by smoking, but it is unknown whether genetic associations with lipids may be modified by smoking. We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide gene–smoking interaction study in 133,805 individuals with follow-up in an additional 253,467 individuals. Combined meta-analyses identified 13 new loci associated with lipids, some of which were detected only because association differed by smoking status. Additionally, we demonstrate the importance of including diverse populations, particularly in studies of interactions with lifestyle factors, where genomic and lifestyle differences by ancestry may contribute to novel findings.

Main
Levels of serum lipids, such as triglycerides and high- and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL and LDL), are influenced by both genetic and lifestyle factors. Over 250 lipid-associated loci have been identified1,2,3,4,5,6, yet it is unclear to what extent lifestyle factors modify the effects of these variants or those of variants yet to be identified. Smoking is associated with an unfavorable lipid profile7,8, warranting its investigation as a lifestyle factor that potentially modifies genetic associations with lipids. Identifying interactions through traditional 1-degree-of-freedom (1df) tests of SNP × smoking terms may have low power, except in very large sample sizes. To enhance power, a 2-degree-of-freedom (2df) test that jointly evaluates interaction and main effects was developed9.
