Genome-wide Association Study Meta-analysis of Blood Pressure Traits and Hypertension in Sub-Saharan African Populations: An AWI-Gen Study

2023-02-13

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Most hypertension-related genome-wide association studies (GWAS) focus on non-African populations, despite hypertension (a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease) being highly prevalent in Africa. The AWI-Gen study GWAS meta-analysis for blood pressure-related traits (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, mean-arterial pressure and hypertension) from three sub-Sah...
