Interethnic analyses of blood pressure loci in populations of East Asian and European descent

Interethnic analyses of blood pressure loci in populations of East Asian and European descent

Blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and more than 200 genetic loci associated with BP are known. Here, the authors perform discovery GWAS for BP in East Asians and meta-analysis in East Asians and Europeans and report ancestry-specific BP SNPs and selection signals.
