Prospective studies have reported that circulating cholesterol abnormalities are predictive of hypertension. As a test of the causal influence of circulating cholesterols on hypertension, we used a meta-based Mendelian randomization analysis to determine whether the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism ɛ2/ɛ3/ɛ4 related to cholesterol changes is associated with hypertension. Data were available from 17 study...
