Abstract excerpt

As part of the Hypertension Genetic Epidemiology Network study, genome scans were performed in two ethnicities on the categorical metabolic syndrome (MetS). Genome scans were performed also on the factor scores produced by factor analysis (quantitative MetS). Heritabilities were highest for the obesity-insulin (INS) factor and lowest for blood pressure (BP) and central obesity. Seventeen unique putative...
