Gene-alcohol interactions identify several novel blood pressure loci including a promising locus near SLC16A9

Gene-alcohol interactions identify several novel blood pressure loci including a promising locus near SLC16A9

Alcohol consumption is a known risk factor for hypertension, with recent candidate studies implicating gene-alcohol interactions in blood pressure (BP) regulation. We used 6,882 (predominantly) Caucasian participants aged 20 to 80 years from the Framingham SHARe (SNP Health Association Resource) to...
