The Nicotine Dependence DNA Test examines your genetic makeup to assess how your body metabolizes nicotine. By focusing on the CYP2A6 gene, which is responsible for breaking down nicotine in your liver, this test helps identify your genetic predisposition to nicotine dependence and the risk of developing a strong addiction to tobacco products.

The Nicotine Dependence DNA Test provides insights into:

1. Your Nicotine Metabolism Rate: Whether your body metabolizes nicotine slowly, at an intermediate rate, or quickly.
2. Your Addiction Risk: How your metabolism affects your likelihood of developing a dependence on nicotine.
3. Your Likelihood of Quitting: Understand how your metabolism can influence the ease or difficulty of quitting smoking.

The results are presented in a clear summary table with color-coded interpretations, making it easy to grasp the key takeaways at a glance.

Additionally, you’ll receive personalized recommendations to help manage and reduce nicotine dependence. These actionable tips will guide you in adjusting your smoking habits and supporting your quit journey.

The report includes scientific references from peer-reviewed research, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the results.

Your nicotine dependence impacts how your body reacts to nicotine, your potential for addiction, and the difficulty of quitting. Genetic factors influence your nicotine metabolism, determining how quickly or slowly your body processes nicotine.

Faster metabolism increases cravings, leading to a higher risk of addiction, while slower metabolism reduces cravings, making quitting easier. By understanding your genetic predisposition, you can create a personalized plan to manage your dependence and improve your chances of quitting successfully.

This test focuses on the CYP2A6 gene, which codes for an enzyme that breaks down nicotine. Your metabolism rate depends on the variant of the CYP2A6 gene you inherit:

• C/C Genotype: Slow metabolism, often linked to lower addiction risk.
• C/T Genotype: Intermediate metabolism, associated with a moderate addiction risk.
• T/T Genotype: Fast metabolism, commonly connected to a higher addiction risk.

Understanding your genotype can help you make informed decisions about quitting or managing your nicotine consumption.

A Nicotine Dependence DNA test does not require you to provide a blood sample. Our test is performed using buccal swabs that we provide in our home sample collection kit. Collecting samples is quick and easy if you follow the instructions provided carefully.

Sample collection instructions can be found on our “How to Collect DNA Samples” page.
