Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Blood pressure (BP) response to cold pressor test (CPT) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. We performed a genome-wide linkage scan and regional association analysis to identify genetic determinants of BP response to CPT. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 1961 Chinese participants completed the CPT. Multipoint quantitative trait linkage analysis was performed, followed by...
