When SLC7A1 genotype, BMI, Hb, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and family history of hypertension were included in stepwise analysis (forward wald), BMI, (p < 0.001, OR: 1.19, 95% CI 1.14-1.24), glucose (p = 0.009, OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.08-1.75) and family history of hypertension (p < 0.001, OR: 3.28, 95% CI: 2.35-4.56) were associated with hypertension. Here, SLC7A1 is linked to Hypertension.
