Genome-wide association analysis identifies novel blood pressure loci and offers biological insights into cardiovascular risk.

2017-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Elevated blood pressure is the leading heritable risk factor for cardiovascular disease worldwide. We report genetic association of blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, pulse pressure) among UK Biobank participants of European ancestry with independent replication in other cohorts, and robust validation of 107 independent loci. We also identify new independent variants at 11 previously reported blood pressure loci...
