Evidence for a Causal Role of the SH2B3 -β 2 M Axis in Blood Pressure Regulation
9 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants at SH2B3 are associated with blood pressure and circulating β 2 M (β-2 microglobulin), a well-characterized kidney filtration biomarker. We hypothesize that circulating β 2 M is an independent risk predictor of hypertension and may causally contribute to its development. The study sample consisted of 7 065 Framingham Heart Study participants with measurements of plasma β 2 M. Generalized...
