Note: The risk variants with association evidence from only ever- or never-smoking individuals (not from both groups).

Abbreviations: EAF, effective allele frequency. Q indicates the heterogeneity p value. EUR: European population; EAS, East Asian population; AFR, African population. Weighted score indicated the imputation quality score weighted by sample size from the studies. #, known variants identified from previous studies but shown to be related to lung cancer in only ever- or never-smoking group. *, novel variants identified in this study.
