A cross-tissue transcriptome association study identifies key genes in essential hypertension
10 Feb 2023
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) have identified over 1,000 loci associated with blood pressure. However, these loci only explain 6% of heritability. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) combine GWAS summary data with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) to provide a better approach to finding genes associated with complex traits. GWAS summary data (N = 450,584) for essential hypertension...
