Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inter-individual variation in blood pressure (BP) arises in part from sequence variants within enhancers modulating the expression of causal genes. We propose that these genes, active in tissues relevant to BP physiology, can be identified from tissue-level epigenomic data and genotypes of BP-phenotyped individuals. METHODS: We used chromatin accessibility data from the heart, adrenal, kidney, and...
