| Shrnutí: | Daniel Levy and colleagues report a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for blood pressure traits as part of the CHARGE consortium, reporting eight loci with replicated association to systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure, with one of these loci also associated to hypertension.
Blood pressure is a major cardiovascular disease risk factor. To date, few variants associated with interindividual blood pressure variation have been identified and replicated. Here we report results of a genome-wide association study of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and hypertension in the CHARGE Consortium (
n
= 29,136), identifying 13 SNPs for SBP, 20 for DBP and 10 for hypertension at
P
< 4 × 10
−7
. The top ten loci for SBP and DBP were incorporated into a risk score; mean BP and prevalence of hypertension increased in relation to the number of risk alleles carried. When ten CHARGE SNPs for each trait were included in a joint meta-analysis with the Global BPgen Consortium (
n
= 34,433), four CHARGE loci attained genome-wide significance (
P
< 5 × 10
−8
) for SBP (
ATP2B1, CYP17A1, PLEKHA7, SH2B3
), six for DBP (
ATP2B1, CACNB2, CSK-ULK3, SH2B3, TBX3-TBX5, ULK4
) and one for hypertension (
ATP2B1
). Identifying genes associated with blood pressure advances our understanding of blood pressure regulation and highlights potential drug targets for the prevention or treatment of hypertension. |
