Hypertension, which affects about one-third of adults worldwide, is a major risk factor for the
morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and end-stage …

Background—Our aim was to identify genetic variants associated with blood pressure (BP)
in childhood and adolescence. Methods and Results—Genome-wide association study data …

Hypertension is an important determinant of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and has
a substantial heritability, which is likely of polygenic origin. The aim of this study was to …

High blood pressure remains the major heritable and modifiable risk factor for
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Persistent high blood pressure, or hypertension, is a complex …

Hypertension is a polygenic disease that affects over 1.2 billion adults aged 30–79
worldwide. It is a major risk factor for renal, cerebrovascular, and cardiovascular diseases …

BACKGROUND Childhood hypertension is a complex disease influenced by both genetic
and environmental factors. We aimed to examine how obesity status influences the …

In spite of recent successes for other complex diseases, essential hypertension has been
remarkably reluctant to reveal its underlying susceptibility genes through genomewide …

Remarkable findings from genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) on blood pressure
(BP) traits have made new insights for developing precision medicine toward more effective …

Background Genetics, along with lifestyle and behavioral characteristics, play an important
role in hypertension in adults. Our aim was to identify genetic variants associated with blood …

Blood pressure (BP) is a heritable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. To investigate
genetic associations with systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean arterial pressure …
