Causal relevance of different blood pressure traits on risk of cardiovascular diseases: GWAS and Mendelian randomisation in 100,000 Chinese adults - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39048560
ABSTRACT: Elevated blood pressure (BP) is major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted predominantly in populations of European ancestry have identified >2,000 BP-associated loci, but other ancestries have been less well-studied. We conducted GWAS of systolic, diastolic, pulse, and mean arterial BP in 100,453 Chinese adults. We identified 128 non-overlapping loci associated with one or more BP traits, including 74 newly-reported associations. Despite strong genetic correlations between populations, we identified appreciably higher heritability and larger variant effect sizes in Chinese compared with European or Japanese ancestry populations. Using instruments derived from these GWAS, multivariable Mendelian randomisation demonstrated

genetic predisposition to elevated blood pressure Moderate
Carriers of the G allele show genome-wide significant association with increased diastolic and mean arterial pressure, relevant for cardiovascular risk stratification.

blood pressure monitoring Moderate
This variant is associated with increased diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure at genome-wide significance in large cohorts.
