{"doi":"10.17615/brds-5n12","title":"Ehret GB, Munroe PB, Rice KM, Bochud M, Johnson AD, Chasman DI et al. Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk. Nature 2011; 478: 103-109","abstract":"Blood pressure (BP) is a heritable trait1 influenced by multiple biological pathways and is responsive to environmental stimuli. Over one billion people worldwide have hypertension (BP ≥140 mm Hg systolic [SBP] or ≥90 mm Hg diastolic [DBP])2. Even small increments in BP are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events3. This genome-wide association study of SBP and DBP, which used a multi-stage design in 200, 000 individuals of European descent, identified 16 novel loci: six of these loci contain genes previously known or suspected to regulate BP (GUCY1A3-GUCY1B3 ; NPR3-C5orf23 ; ADM ; FURIN-FES ; GOSR2 ; GNAS-EDN3) ; the other 10 provide new clues to BP physiology. A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke, and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function. We also observed associations with BP in East Asian, South Asian, and African ancestry individuals. Our findings provide new insights into the genetics and biology of BP, and suggest novel potential therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.","journal":"WOS","year":2020,"id":144797,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9408,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2020-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":14366,"name":"Simon Heath","orcid":"0000-0002-9550-0897","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":38607,"name":"Abbas Dehghan","orcid":"0000-0001-6403-016X","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":405291,"name":"Feng Zhang","orcid":"0000-0003-4556-8276","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":598797,"name":"Jing Zhao","orcid":"0000-0003-4655-997X","position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":240617,"name":"Jian’an Luan","orcid":"0000-0003-3137-6337","position":5,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":62168,"name":"John F.
