Targeting 160 candidate genes for blood pressure regulation with a genome-wide genotyping array.

Targeting 160 candidate genes for blood pressure regulation with a genome-wide genotyping array.

The outcome of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) has challenged the field of blood pressure (BP) genetics as previous candidate genes have not been among the top loci in these scans. We used Affymetrix 500K genotyping data of KORA S3 cohort (n = 1,644; Southern-Germany) to address (i) SNP cover...
