Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies of blood pressure (BP) have identified >1,000 loci, but the effector genes and biological pathways at these loci are mostly unknown. Using published association summary statistics, we conducted annotation-informed fine-mapping incorporating tissue-specific chromatin segmentation and colocalization to identify causal variants and candidate effector genes for systolic BP, diastolic...
