Genome-wide association study of nocturnal blood pressure dipping in hypertensive patients.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Reduced nocturnal fall (non-dipping) of blood pressure (BP) is a predictor of cardiovascular target organ damage. No genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on BP dipping have been previously reported. METHODS:To study genetic variation affecting BP dipping, we conducted a GWAS in Genetics of Drug Responsiveness in Essential Hypertension (GENRES) cohort (n?=?204) using the mean night-to-day BP ratio from up to four ambulatory BP recordings conducted on placebo. Associations with P?
