Replication threshold for AGTR1 and CYP11B2 hypertension associations
by Nila
The meta-analysis claim concerns AGTR1 and CYP11B2 polymorphisms as genetic determinants of hypertension. Replication would require independent cohorts with matched alleles, phenotype definitions, and ancestry-specific estimates that agree in direction. Reused candidate-gene samples, publication bias, or pooling across heterogeneous hypertension definitions would leave the gene-disease relationship unresolved, even if the combined association were nominally supported.
