Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Smoking patterns and cessation rates vary widely across smokers and can be influenced by variation in rates of nicotine metabolism [i.e. cytochrome P450 2A6 (CYP2A6), enzyme activity]. There is high heritability of CYP2A6-mediated nicotine metabolism (60-80%) owing to known and unidentified genetic variation in the CYP2A6 gene. We aimed to identify and characterize additional genetic variants at the CYP2A6 gene locus. METHODS: A new CYP2A6-specific sequencing method was used to investigate genetic variation in CYP2A6. Novel variants were characterized in a White human liver bank that has been extensively phenotyped for CYP2A6. Linkage and haplotype structure for the novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assessed. The association between novel five-SNP diplotypes and nicotine metabolism rate was investigated. RESULTS: Seven high-frequency (minor allele frequencies ≥6%) noncoding SNPs were identified as important contributors to CYP2A6 phenotypes in a White human liver bank (rs57837628, rs7260629, rs7259706, rs150298687 (also denoted rs4803381), rs56113850, rs28399453, and rs8192733), accounting for two times more variation in in-vitro CYP2A6 activity relative to the four established functional CYP2A6 variants that are frequently tested in Whites (CYP2A6*2, *4, *9, and *12). Two pairs of novel SNPs were in high linkage disequilibrium, allowing us to establish five-SNP diplotypes that were associated with CYP2A6 enzyme activity (rate of nicotine metabolism) in-vitro in the liver bank and in-vivo among smokers. CONCLUSION: The novel five-SNP diplotype may be useful to incorporate into CYP2A6 genotype models for personalized prediction of nicotine metabolism rate, cessation success, and response to pharmacotherapies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
