Genetic loci for retinal arteriolar microcirculation.

Genetic loci for retinal arteriolar microcirculation.

Narrow arterioles in the retina have been shown to predict hypertension as well as other vascular diseases, likely through an increase in the peripheral resistance of the microcirculatory flow. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association study in 18,722 unrelated individuals of European an...
