Abstract excerpt
Hypertension is a disease associated with epigenetic aging. However, the pathogenic mechanism underlying this relationship remains unclear. We aimed to characterize the shared genetic architecture of hypertension and epigenetic aging, and identify novel risk loci. Leveraging genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics of hypertension (129,909 cases and 354,689 controls) and four epigenetic clocks...
