Genome-wide association study on blood pressure traits in the Iranian population suggests ZBED9 as a new locus for hypertension

Abstract High blood pressure is the heritable risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Genome-wide association studies(GWAS) on blood pressure traits increase our understanding of its underlying genetic basis. However, a large proportion of GWAS was conducted in Europeans, and some roadbl...
