Association of the DRD2 gene Taq1A polymorphism and smoking behavior: a meta-analysis and new data.
Nicotine Tob Res. 2009; (1): 64-76

There is a biological basis for considering that this association differs by sex, and differences in subpopulations might explain some of the contradictory evidence.
