Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The minor alleles of 3 FOXO3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)- rs2802292 , rs2253310 , and rs2802288 -are associated with human longevity. The aim of the present study was to test these SNPs for association with blood pressure (BP) and essential hypertension (EHT). METHODS: In a primary study involving Americans of Japanese ancestry drawn from the Family Blood Pressure Program II we genotyped...
