TCF7L2 and Hypertension: Besides, since environment factors and genes, such as obesity, smoking, drinking, and hypertension as well as plasma TG, and gene related to the Wnt signaling pathway are strong candidates for a potential interaction with TCF7L2 gene polymorphisms, the lack of data available to us on most of those environmental factors (except for obesity) and genes was a limitation, which we hope will be demonstrated by the following studies.
