Common variants in or near FGF5, CYP17A1 and MTHFR genes are associated with blood pressure and hypertension in Chinese Hans

Abstract

Variants in or near FGF5, CYP17A1 and MTHFR contributed to variation in BP and hypertension risk. Effect sizes of these three loci tended to be larger in Chinese than in white Europeans, but more studies with larger sample size are required for a definitive conclusion.
