Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Genetic variation may play explain some of the disparity in prevalence and control of hypertension across Sub-Saharan Africa. However, there have been very few studies to characterize genetic variation of blood pressure traits. AIM: To determine whether a set of blood pressure-associated genetic loci can be replicated among samples East African samples. METHODS: Twenty-seven blood pressures...
