Blood pressure is a heritable trait influenced by several biological pathways and responsive
to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (≥ 140 mm …

The purpose of this study was to search for genomic regions influencing resting systolic
(SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure (BP) in sedentary families (baseline), and for …

Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for renal, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular
disease, and a leading underlying cause of global mortality and morbidity. 1 Incremental …

The evidence for the existence of genetic susceptibility variants for the common form of
hypertension (“essential hypertension”) remains weak and inconsistent. We sought genetic …

Raised blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Previous
studies have identified 47 distinct genetic variants robustly associated with BP, but …

We carried out a trans-ancestry genome-wide association and replication study of blood
pressure phenotypes among up to 320,251 individuals of East Asian, European and South …

Elevated blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has a
substantial genetic contribution. Genetic variation influencing blood pressure has the …

Hypertension is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Efforts to identify hypertension
genes have focused on 3 approaches: mendelian disorders, candidate genes, and genome …

African Americans are a critical population in which to study the impact of physiologically
important candidate gene mutations on the occurrence of hypertension. African Americans …
