GWAS for Defining the Pathogenesis of Hypertension: Have They Delivered?

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies have identified >3500 associated single nucleotide polymorphisms and over 1000 independent loci associated with hypertension. These individually have small effect sizes, and few associated loci have been experimentally tested for causal roles in hypertension using animal models or in humans. Thus, methods to prioritize and maximize the relevance of identified single nucleotide...
