Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Despite advances in understanding hypertension's genetic structure, how noncoding genetic variants influence it remains unclear. Studying their interaction with DNA methylation is crucial to deciphering this complex disease's genetic mechanisms. METHODS: We investigated the genetic and epigenetic interplay in hypertension using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Methylation profiling in 918 males...
