Gene-educational attainment interactions in a multi-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis identify novel blood pressure loci
Educational attainment is widely used as a surrogate for socioeconomic status (SES). Low SES is a risk factor for hypertension and high blood pressure (BP). To identify novel BP loci, we performed multi-ancestry meta-analyses accounting for gene-educational attainment interactions using two variable...
