STK39 polymorphism is associated with essential hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

<h4>Background</h4>A recent genome-wide association study identified STK39as a candidate gene for blood pressure (BP) in Europeans. Subsequently, several studies have attempted to replicate the association across different ethnic populations. However, the results have been inconsistent.&...

The meta-analysis showed a significant association of STK39 rs3754777 variant with hypertension (OR = 1.10, 95%CI = 1.06-1.15, p = 7.95 × 10(-6)). Further subgroup analysis by ethnicity suggested that the association was significant in Europeans (OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.03-1.14, p = 0.002) and in East Asians (OR = 1.16, 95%CI = 1.07-1.25, p = 4.34 × 10(-4)), but not in Africans (OR = 1.01, 95%CI 0.80-1.27, p = 0.932).
