  • Genome‐wide pleiotropy analysis identifies novel blood pressure variants and improves its polygenic risk scores - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34989438

    ABSTRACT: Abstract Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (S/DBP) are highly correlated modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We report here a bidirectional Mendelian Randomization (MR) and horizontal pleiotropy analysis of S/DBP summary statistics from the UK Biobank (UKB)‐International Consortium for Blood Pressure (ICBP) (UKB‐ICBP) BP genome‐wide association study and construct a composite genetic risk score (GRS) by including pleiotropic variants. The composite GRS captures greater (1.11-3.26 fold) heritability for BP traits and increases (1.09‐ and 2.01‐fold) Nagelkerke's R 2 for hypertension and CVD. We replicated 118 novel BP horizontal pleiotropic variants including 18 novel BP loci using summary statistics from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) study

  • Genome-wide analysis in over 1 million individuals of European ancestry yields improved polygenic risk scores for blood pressure traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38689001

    ABSTRACT: Hypertension affects more than one billion people worldwide. Here we identify 113 novel loci, reporting a total of 2,103 independent genetic signals (P < 5 × 10−8) from the largest single-stage blood pressure (BP) genome-wide association study to date (n = 1,028,980 European individuals). These associations explain more than 60% of single nucleotide polymorphism-based BP heritability. Comparing top versus bottom deciles of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) reveals clinically meaningful differences in BP (16.9 mmHg systolic BP, 95% CI, 15.5-18.2 mmHg, P = 2.22 × 10−126) and more than a sevenfold higher odds of hypertension risk (odds ratio, 7.33; 95% CI, 5.54-9.70; P = 4.13 × 10−44) in an independent dataset.

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • Blood pressure management strategy High

    Genetic evidence of diastolic blood pressure predisposition should inform personalized hypertension prevention approach

    Discuss cardiovascular risk profile and BP management options with primary care provider

Screening

  • Blood pressure screening High

    Genetic variant rs1015151 is associated with increased diastolic blood pressure; proactive monitoring enables early detection

    Measure blood pressure annually; more frequently if elevated
