Dissecting the Polygenic Basis of Primary Hypertension: Identification of Key Pathway-Specific Components
16 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Genome-wide association studies have identified a high number of genetic loci associated with hypertension suggesting the presence of an underlying polygenic architecture. In this study, we aimed to dissect the polygenic component of primary hypertension searching also for pathway-specific components. METHODS: The polygenic risk score (PRS) models, based on the UK biobank genetic...
