GWAS Improved BP Polygenic Risk Scores

A single-stage common-variant genome-wide association study (GWAS) of blood pressure (BP) in European-ancestry adults improved BP polygenic risk scores (PRS) and provided additional insights into the genetic contribution of BP. The study identified 113 novel loci, reporting a total of 2,103 independent genetic signals in 1,028,980 European individuals from the […]
