RNLS and Hypertension: Analyzing hypertension prevalence as a dichotomous trait we did not find any difference in carriers of different RNLS rs2576178 A > G genotype [OR: 0.987 (95% CI: 0.902-1.080, P = 0.77) for the additive model; 0.986 (0.798-1.218, P = 0.90) for the autosomal recessive model and 0.983 (0.877- 1.102, P = 0.98) for the autosomal dominant model] and rs2296545 C > G genotype [OR: 0.988 (95% CI: 0.911-1.072, P = 0.77) for the additive genetic model; 0.971 (0.843-1.118, P = 0.68) for the autosomal recessive model and 0.994 (0.877-1.127, P = 0.93) for the autosomal dominant model].
