In addition to the 17 genes in Table 2, we also examined cis-eQTL of the hypertension-associated genes identified by previous hypertension genomic studies [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34] in Table 1 where GRB14 and WWOX were excluded here because they were also identified by the present study and their cis-eQTL were already examined. This evidence concerns the gene WWOX and Hypertension.
