A meta-analysis of gene expression signatures of blood pressure and hypertension.

A meta-analysis of gene expression signatures of blood pressure and hypertension.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered numerous genetic variants (SNPs) that are associated with blood pressure (BP). Genetic variants may lead to BP changes by acting on intermediate molecular phenotypes such as coded protein sequence or gene expression, which in turn affect BP varia...
