Background and aims High blood pressure is the heritable risk factor for cardiovascular
diseases. We investigated whether the presence of familial genetic and environmental risk …

Although multiple genetic markers associated with blood pressure have been identified by
genome-wide association studies, their aggregate effect on risk of incident hypertension and …

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases
(CVDs), the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Both heritable and lifestyle risk factors …

Recent genome-wide association studies have identified genetic variants associated with
blood pressure (BP). We investigated whether genetic risk scores (GRSs) constructed of …

Hypertension is a complex disorder caused by genetic and environmental risk factors.
Recently, genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) identified more than 100 genetic …

The present study aimed to investigate the association of blood pressure polygenic risk
scores (BP PRSs) with coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Korean population and the …

We provide an overview of ongoing discovery efforts in the genetics of blood pressure (BP)
and hypertension (HTN) traits. Two large genome-wide association meta-analyses of …

The correlations between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP),
and between SBP and body mass index (BMI), might result from genetic or environmental …

Abstract Purpose of Review Here, we discuss the interpretation and modeling of gene-
environment interactions in hypertension-related phenotypes, with a focus on the necessary …

Blood pressure (BP) and obesity phenotypes may covary due to shared genetic or
environmental factors or both. Furthermore, it is possible that the heritability of BP differs …
