Genetic evidence linking circadian rhythm genes and hypertension: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Abstract excerpt

ObjectivesCircadian rhythms regulate human health, and observational studies have linked their disruption to hypertension; however, confounding factors and reverse causality limit causal interpretation. We aimed to evaluate the existing evidence linking circadian gene sets and hypertension using Mendelian randomization.MethodsTwo-sample Mendelian randomization was performed using genome-wide association study...
